Escape Route Update

We've been getting inquiries about the status of the upcoming imported Escape Route frames. So, here we go.

-We have been riding the initial frames and have made a handful of changes.
-New sample frames with the changes are on order and once we inspect those, we should be ready to order.
-Colors are set. Team Orange with Team Green panels and New Black with Eggshell panels. Sizes will be 17", 19" and 21".
-Working on a metal head badge for the frames.
-May end up using a clear coat over the decals for a more durable finish.
-Once we get new samples, we'll post the pictures.
-If the new samples are acceptable, we'll post the dimensioned frame drawings.

We've heard production should take about 6 weeks after the final samples are approved.

Ace, hopefully a nice Christmas present for myself ;0)

What sort of fork length roughlyish are you thinking about for them.

We designed them around a hypothetical 90mm fork. That way you could go 80mm and quicken it up a bit or go 100mm and slow the steering slightly.

Looking forward to hearing more on the bike that carries my name.
