So, where's GG moving to? No longer the local bike mfg, Frown I guess. I'm wondering if they're headed to Texas? For some odd reason...


Who says they're moving?

Who says they're moving?

They just sent out an email this afternoon. But I misread, it's two truths and a lie.
"
But WHERE is GG moving to?
How 'bout for now, we give you two truths and a lie...

1. The new location is 6x the size of our original factory.
2. The new location will feature a stage, bar, and room for a dance party.
3. The new location is not in Colorado.

...We hope you guess right.

I'm going to guess that the lie is the "not in Colorado".

It's not hard to find space that was previously used as a legion post or events location that has a stage and dance floor and bar.

I'd agree, I do wonder if they'll be staying in Denver proper. The spot right by Mile High is great, but it's getting so gentrified and turning into all condos, yoga studios, and coffee shops not much room to grow manufacturing capacity there. Maybe they'll end up north or east where space is much cheaper. Nice to hear they're expanding production! ...or maybe they'll head out to GJ area, apparently Mesa County has some pretty good incentives and is trying to attract businesses from Denver to relocate.

Their current location just has no room to grow and I find it unlikely that they own the building considering it's across the street from Mile High. I hope they move out to the Arvada/Golden area. I see a GG van driving around out here often enough to think that it's a possibility. I don't think they'd want to move to East Denver because then you're just too far from any riding.

I'm near White Ranch, so I hope they move out here closer to me.

I wish I could move to the GJ area.

Explodo - I am with you, I'd be STOKED to see them move closer to the Golden area! It would make me want to buy a new GG (finally)! (both my Pistola and Mega are metal and still running fantastic... just getting the new bike itch recently)

Mattyhawk - I freakin' love that color scheme you did. Nice work! I would want to copy it if I pull the trigger after they move and start production up again (but I already have LightBicycle wheels that are Grey - might have to ask for blue stickers if I did it!).

Thanks, you can get custom stickers from Slik Graphics for light bicycle rims, Blue color (not light blue)

I was wondering if GG is making different bikes when they get set up or just the same ones as before? Anybody know? It would be really big change to start different bikes and location at the same time.

I'd be surprised. The Rev'd platform (front triangle) is pretty new and at that it took them a while to get all sizes of front triangle in production. I could see possibly offering aluminum models again when they're up and running at a bigger space, but I doubt they'd be in a position to launch a new Rev'd frame soon. But I'm just speculating, it would be cool if they'd offer up the GG/DH in AL again.

My wife got an ad teasing two new bikes from GG today. It'll be interesting to see what they are.

Some parts came from my hardtail, and some if it is new.
Elevensix shock
XT 12-speed
XT 4-piston brakes
27.5x3.0 High Roller IIs
Nextie Jungle Fox II 45mm internal rims
Chris King hubs
Chris King BB
Race Face cranks
ATAC Speciale 8 pedals
Fox Transfer post
Thomson 10x70 stem
160mm Z1 fork
Spank Spike 50mm rise bars
Wolftooth dropper lever

I want to go ride it so bad, but all the trails are just mud right now. I'm hoping Monday will give me a chance to go.

Do yourself a favor and put some 27.5 x3 surly dirtwizards on that shred Dogg and never look back. Far superior to any other plus tire out there.
