I have been in love the Frame above for some time. Shame they are not available here in Australia along with Opus frames.
They do look awfully familiar however - Astro Engineering web site.
Good to see some new ideas and healthy competition for the big players.
this isn't from Astro, i promise you that. it is very similar because of the floating shock but I guarantee you it comes from my brain and is built in a different facility. We do have one of these frames for sale as well as a complete build and we are happy to ship international. both are size 19" I'll be posting photos today
totally, yeah. the Maestro isn't a floating shock also but it sure looks like one. It is (Maestro) closer to a DW Link than anything else. Ours is maybe closer related to a Canfield (old friends of mine and awesome guys with a solid product line I must add!)
we only made 3 of these in 19" for now to test them and see if we need to make any changes. we'll have small - XL sizes by Feb. and orders being taken at the show and there-after!
I think it does! sticks to the ground when you want it to and where you need it to, climbs awesome, descends awesome. It is everything I want in a bike
