Dobermann Bikes 2010 Pinscher evolutions

Introducing the 2010 Dobermann Bikes Pinscher evolutions.

The 2010 Pinscher is now available, here's some spec's and info on them :
Working in small production batches allows us to tweek our designs as needed. Since the Pinscher's debut in 2005, the geo of the Pinscher and Molosse have not changed much (besides shorter chainstays). The geometry shared by those 2 frames is perfectly dialed and is the main feature of our frames! This geo will make your bike feel lighter and you will see an improvement in your riding in just a few rides.

We are working with frame "evolutions" rather than frame "model years", as some frames made in the spring might be slightly different from a frame of the same year produced in the fall. Most of the evo's found on the 2010 frames that are produced as we speak can be found on the 09 frames produced in the last six months (the new custom single butted top tube was added to the frames last summer).

Here's what's new on the 2010 Pinscher evolution :

-Custom single butted top tube
With the ever-increasing level of riding, popularity of rigid forks and new tricks that are abusing frames in ways that we haven't seen before (180's, foot jams, ect.) We needed to re-enforce our top tube to prevent deformation. We did some tests using super high-end alloys and specialty tubes, but the ultimate way to make it bomb-proof without adding weight and costs was to have some custom single butted tubes made for us by True Temper. The new top tubes are now much thicker at the head tube and gradually get thinner going down to the seat tube. This new tube allowed us to save some weight at the same time!

-24 or 26 inch specific
At the "demande générale" we have designed some new drop-outs that are specific for the wheel size of your choice. This allowed us to make smaller/cleaner drop outs which are lighter and where you can slam your hub axle all the way in. The classic 24/26 dropouts are still available at no extra cost on request.
