Thunk Bicycles

Just found this hand made Canadian frameset from newcomer Thunk Bicycles based right here in Calgary. Constructed of straight guage 4130 cromoly, with more gussets than you could count on one hand, this frameset is beefy beyond words. Targeting the freeride/DH/urban hardtail market, frame weight on the prototype is a burly 7 lbs and retail pricing is expected to be between $900 and $1000 Canadian. The bike accepts 24 and 26" rear wheels (cantilever posts) and up to 3.0 tires with plenty of room. According to all who had the chance to ride it, numbers on this (as yet) unnamed prototype were bang on and Derek from Thunk advised me of some planned changes to production frames. Chainstays will become rectangular 4130 to and the gussets found at the BB and seat tube/seatstay junctions will disappear as in-house testing found them to be overkill. Also from Thunk is the megla-beefy brick stem and bash guard. These were just one-offs for the proto bike, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them on a Thunk near you! Production frames will be available in late January. Contact Derek at (403)277-3430 or at thunkbicycles@hotmail.com for more info.See Photos
