I don't use the forum very much byut thought some people may be interest in this, if this isn't appropriate use of the forum, I appologise and ask the mods to remove this thread.

We have basically run out of current design of tapered headtube and have been looking into alternative methods of production to reduce the cost. In order to make it viable I need other people to order some to. Details (including prices) are over on the MTBR forum in this thread - Tapered head tube development - Mtbr Forums.

If anyone has any questions, either ask here, on MTBR or you can email me direct at matt@18bikes.co.uk

Thanks,
Matt
