Here is some more info from the dropmachine.com site:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
We've got a pretty killer line up to unleash, and we need your help to do it.
We're a rider owned and operated company in Burnaby BC.
ALL of our stuff is designed and made in house.
Basically, we've got a stem and bashguard design that are available now. The stem has an MSRP of $100 CAN. and is available in 30mm or 60mm reach.
We'll make a 90mm if there's a demand. The bashguard has an MSRP of $60 CAN. and is available in any 5-hole bolt pattern with 4-hole available soon.
The pedals are not yet available (sorry). If you want some of our sweet, sweet action, get your local bike shop to contact me directly at
[email protected], and we can send some info/products their way.
We've also got a DH/freeride frame tentatively available this summer on an "as-ordered" basis (you order and put a down-payment on the frame, we build up your frame). With the frame, we plan to deal directly with the customer. There are many reasons for this, one being the fact that we can "customize" the frame for you (everything from geometry tweaks to custom engravings, decals and paint). We'll work closesly with you to get your bike dialed the way you like it.
The Scarab DH frame will have an MSRP of $3000 CAN. including shock and chain tensioner.
If you think your bike shop would stock a machine like this, tell 'em to give me a shout and we can discuss them becoming Dark Cycles frame dealers.
The Scarab frame has a full 4130 cromoly frame with 8.5" travel. Equipped with a high pivot and driveline, and a unique moto-link that offers perfectly balanced progressive travel and great pedalling efficiency, without the need for an SPV shock.
Frame weight is just over 11lbs including shock. It will carry a three year warranty.
We've got other stuff in the works too. Chain guides, chain rings
BMX parts and more frames. Soft goods too. If you dig our stuff, that's sweet, hopefully you'll chose our products for your ride. We'll be promoting our line all over BC this summer, showing up at key races and events, including InterBike in LasVegas this fall. Our website (
http://www.darkcycles.com) is currently under construction.
Thanks for checking out Dark. Anyone with questions about Dark can e-mail me directly at
[email protected]. And a shout goes out to all my bros in Ontario, you guys rock. Till we ride again...
