Ok, so I promised I have a few photos of the Space 29+ bike after the Philly show. Now that Im unpacked and back in the groove, I wheeled it outside to take a few pics. The Details...the bike is a steel 29+ built for abuse. It uses a 42mm double butted True Temper down tube ovalized at the bottom bracket, curved 4130 top tube, True Temper seat tube with machined insert and dual curved radius that takes it from round to oval, Paragon Machine works Yoke, custom dropouts, custom sliding disc tab, vertical s-bend seat stays that terminate in a segmented joint, and a 44ID Paragon head tube to allow for all current and past fork use. The frame uses a top tube length of 23 inches and a total cockpit from the center of the saddle to the center of the handlebar of 30 with the set back titanium seat post. The geometry keeps it nimble and fun on the trail so even with the larger foot print tires it does not feel like a steam roller..one of the disadvantages to many designs. It utilizes a Luv handle bar/stem combo with 27 width, Hot Rod cranks with single chain riing, Fox Fork, Rohloff, Magura MT-6 brakes, Cane Creek 110 headset, Phil Wood front hub and bottom bracket, Custom Velocity Dualy rims with Cerakote and polished graphics, DT double butted spokes with anno blue nipples, and a Brooks saddle. The paint uses 14 different colors and took just over 12 hours to airbrush and clear, transitioning from a lunar landscape to a midnight blue metallic sky with planets, star streams, and the occasional fun UFO. A few Martians hide around the frame looking for fun This bike is not a racer.. tough tubing, large Knard tires, and the Rohloff keep it from being a weight weenie and is designed for someone who just wants to come out of the woods after a long ride with an unforgettable experience and a big smile. This bike is available for purchase, please direct any inquiries to rody@groovycycleworks thanks!
