Doubt it's a Chromag. The headtube doesn't match their other frames. Also it's got very little seat post insertion length space. It has what looks like a custom tuned Vorsprung shock, Chromag works pretty close with SRAM.

Just looked at who posted the original photo, it's Pete from North Shore Billet. I would guess it's a personal project. Last clue it's not Chromag is that it doesn't use any of the little tabs n shock mounts that have been shown on the sly by a particular machinist that has been doing other proto work for Chromag.

Cascade Components might come out with some Pivot links soon in the next couple of days, most likely for the switchblade but not sure...

If it can slacken it out, that'd be very appealing

New Rockshox Shockwiz system? My number one pet peeve with the current ShockWiz system is all the zip ties and tubes.

Hightower had 145mm of travel for a while, probably around 8 months. Just a longer shock stroke. I know a bunch of people who did this before it was a factory option.

It is. I hope they come out with a adult sized bike too.

My wallet is open and waiting.

Love Chromag’s stuff. Highest quality gear I own.
