The PINSCHER is a classy, Canadian made, affordable frame. It uses the same perfect DO*BER*MANN geometry as all our models, and it's fully hand made, inhouse, just like the others. We made it just a little bit easier to build and less expensive to produce, but made sure it would be just as fun to ride!!
True Temper Plain Gauge tubes and aerospace 4130.
UTS (1) : 105-120 ksi. / YS (2) : 100 ksi
That's MUCH stronger than most 4130 tubesets used in Taiwan.
The frame is only 5.5lbs!
Euro BB
OPTIONAL Disc and V-Brake mounts (24" and 26" wheel compatible) - 25$CAD EXTRA.
1.1/8" head tube.
Fat horizontal drop outs, single speed or derailleur compatible.
Standard Colors : Khaki, Burgundy
Custom Colors available, here's some examples : RawClear / TransGreen / TransBlue / SmokeClear / White / ChocoMilk / Baby Blue / etc.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND GEOMETRY
We use the same perfectly tuned street/park/dirt geometry on ALL our frames, which are all designed to be used with dual 26", dual 24", or 24/26" wheels. The only difference with the Pinscher is that we managed to make its chainstays even shorter... We hope you enjoy it!
2 sizes available :
SMALL : 21.5" top tube
LARGE : 22.5" top tube
Ajustable chainstays from 14.75" to 15.5" (375mm/395mm) (365mm/14.37" on the 2008)

Strengths:
Super tight geo (best on the market) the 2008's have stays that you can slam (with 24's) to 14.25"... madness.
Super strong, feel fantastic... and are canadian made.
Weaknesses:
5.5 pounds isn't heavy... but it costs a lot to upgrade the frame to make it lighter.
Basically, I had to think really hard to find a weakness, and this is all I got.

Purchased At:
Brisbane Boutique Bi
Strengths:
Fantastic paint (transparent red) that lets you see the welds and manufucaturing details. Very tight rear-end geometry, which makes the bike perfect for street / dirt jump riding. The frame has "soul". It has just soooo much feel and is super fun to ride. You just want to play on this bike all day/night long.
Weaknesses:
None noted.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Pinscher frame with: Chris King Headset, Da Bong Glock Stem, DMR cromo wingbars. Revell wheelset, Primo bb, chainring and cranks. Odyssey pedals. Avid brakes with a Marzoc DJ1 up front.
Bottom Line:
A seriously fun street bike! Short chain stays make it just sweet to ride. Kind of rides and handles like a bmx, but with 26" wheels and 100m travel - makes it just perfect. It's addicting! The first bike ever to have my fully hooked and wanting to ride all the time. Also nice to have a boutique frame that gets everyone asking about it. Great work Dobermann!!

Everything about the frame is perfect, from the welding to the paint job, it's hand made, I also feel it's the nicest looking, street, DJ bike out there. It rides like a dream.
I can't get enough of this bike, it's so smooth and fun to ride, I'm fanatical about this bike, the best money I have ever spent on a bike. If you can afford it get this frame, get it.
