We are finishing testing of the s.i.r. 9 and will be heading for production fairly soon. This picture is the s.i.r. 9 under going one of the German DIN Plus load testing procedures. The One 9 was tested in this method as well. Passing the German DIN Plus testing is not required to sell frames in the USA but we want our frames to meet the highest standards.

We have a new printed catalog available. It contains information on all the frames and products we currently have available. If you would like one please submit your name and address to [email protected] and I will mail one to you.

We are working on a massive website update, but it is taking awhile to finish. Thanks and hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the update, Chris. Really cool pic, too. Looks pretty tortuous.

Thats all good news but what I really want to know is, when do we get to see/hear more about the FS bike!

 

[appleSSeed]

Let me know if you need any help torture testing those frames, I'll be glad to lend my services.

Looks like you forgot the cantilever studs on that one...

We are finishing testing of the s.i.r. 9 and will be heading for production fairly soon.

Does this mean you're on schedule for early January delivery of pre-orders?

Rim brakes are the new coaster brakes.

I think it was on one of their interbike vids they were talking about how not allowing canti breaks let them butt the tubes more radically and get a lighter and more compliant frame and fork.

Sounds good to me

s.i.r. 9 production

We have completed some parts for the frame. Here is a picture of the finished butted EBB shell. We are expecting a late Jan delivery date at this time. While we would like to have the frame finished earlier it is better to get it right rather than fast.

.... better to get it right rather than fast.

Chris - Don't get me wrong, I want mine right. But once I get it, I certainly hope it's fast.

But then that probably has more to do with me than the bike.

Waiting patiently....
