This one is a single top tube, schwoopy seat stay, 29er front, 650B rear, dedicated single speed, with internal cable routing. Rear end is inspired by a recent creation by Fred Cuthbert of Wolfhound Cycles. Single speed sliders by Todd at Black Cat Cycles. Rather than wait for paint, I decided to build it up for a few shakedown rides first. The fillets still need to be cleaned up and prepped for paint. But I was curious to see if I could build a mtb frame that would survive the rocky trails of northern AZ. First ride was a success! It will go off to paint while the fam is on vacation in August. Still waiting to be inspired by a color...

HTA: 71 degrees

Howdy, I work at a Non-profit bike shop in Denver, and we got a bike in today that looks exactly like this but nobody knows the brand. It has a quarter sized drawing of a Mountain Goat in the down-tube, and the "logo" on head tube looks vaguely like the outline of a yin-yang with a red outline and all black...any guesses?
