Does anyone know about availability and pricing re the new storm models. I think the bike looks awesome. Saw ads in local magazines but no pricing and no reply via email.

Looks just like all the other unbranded 29ers that's been flogged here on the Hub. Just look at the drop-outs and the caliper mount on the inside of the stays.
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.

How can you even see that?
Nice looking frame though.

Many manufacturers tend to be moving that way with the disc brake mounting .. supposedly a better way of doing things.

Is there a 26" version of that frame?

This is more then just the position of the mount. Look at the dip in the chain stay.

You are so wrong! These are special, designed in Germany St Brackenfell.
The paint scheme was designed in Germany.

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

And what does the cheap Chinese frame price? Send it to Cycle art and have the same paint scheme for a third of the price.
