That looks a super-fun machine! :cool:
I've been on a handful of rides so far and I can confirm that it is a super-fun machine. Here's another shot for good measure...

FWIW, what's the key measurements on a frame like this?
Nice!!! That is one fine Green Machine!
Then this should make the wheel spin more too:

Congrats on the official ti launch!!
I know you have been working on this project for a long time to get it to your standards.
Thanks, Brian! It's been a journey, that's for sure.

Kris,
If you're still monitoring this, and when the time is right, would you be willing to weigh in on the FS bike you've been posting on Instagram lately?
I'm admittedly not your target market, but handbuilt full-sus always make me sit up and pay attention.

I'll let the images speak for themselves.
Basics are 150mm F / 130mm R travel. 65° HT / 75° ST. 837mm front center / 430mm CS length / 1257mm wheelbase on the pictured size "large-ish" frame (I'm 6'1" with a 34" inseam). The plan is to eventually offer a USA made FS stock frame set in S, M, L with a stock shock but up charge/down charge for different options of shocks. The modular shock mount will allow for 130 or 140 travel kits. Still assessing and refining drop, pivot location etc. What you're seeing now is not the final suspension platform. It will be single pivot, but shock location and some elements will be really different. This is just a data collection sled. But it will be my 3rd option along side the Huntsman and Marauder and is named the Snakedriver. Let me know if any one has any questions I haven't answered. Here's the full Flickr album for those interested in the development.

pretty...
will there be a titanium option?
Looks great Kristofer! Have you thought about partnering with a carbon manufacture to make the rear-ends? This would allow you to have the full size customisability of the metal mainframe with the increased tyre clearance, reduced weight, and cleanliness of a carbon swingarm.
