YES TILLY!

@krpduner77: Stoked to see what these athletes can do this year. They are all proper rapid on the bikes, and we will do everything we can to give them the support they need to make things happen. It is also worth mentioning the level of commitment from the riders and support staff on this team. We are not a big company with endless resources, so we are incredibly grateful to have everyone willing to hustle, get scrappy when needed, and pitch in to make it all happen. Knowing that makes it even sweeter to watch them succeed. It is pretty incredible to see the level of commitment they have to succeed at such a young age.

Can’t wait to get them out to you guys. Everything is on track for early April. We do need to adhere to some embargo dates imposed by partners who have parts on the bikes, but our plan remains to ship them asap after those are lifted.

@rrolly: We have had some stock available for short periods in the past, but right now when we send out pre order emails the frames tend to get snapped up quickly. Dealers also receive allocations, so it is always worth checking with them when we announce a pre order, as they sometimes have availability for a bit longer than we do. Smith Creek Cycles is one of our dealers in Canada, so Brian may be able to help get you sorted on a future release. The best thing to do is sign up on our website mailing list. We do not send many emails and typically only reach out when a new batch is available for pre order, so it will not fill up your inbox.

@sfarnum: Of course! You're welcome

@sfarnum: I wish I was a private equity guy, haha. In reality I’m just someone who loves riding and racing bikes and working hard to do things a little differently. The goal has always been to keep things small and boutique so we can stay close to our customers and offer a different level of experience and support. Also why I can personally respond to a comment. Cascade indeed helps a bunch with engineering and are a key partner. I studied industrial design before i spent 15 years in the music industry, so even though we outsource some of the work I stay very involved in the process. Personally riding the bikes is also a big part of it for me. That feedback loop is important. I hope you get to throw a leg over one at some point! – Troydon

Gwin is no longer involved. He’s decided to focus purely on racing for the next few years, which is realistically what it takes to be fully competitive at this level. We support his decision and will be stoked to see him succeed.

He'll still be around for that, he's just helping us out at various races so it shouldn't pull him away too much and will only be for smaller blocks of time. Super stoked to have him! Trev is such a solid guy.

We will get to as many as we can! Hopefully they give us lots of Wild Card slots!

Correct, Alden is running that due to frame size, There was never an XL mold made for the DH frame project. That was a prototype mold only ever made in one size which is too small for him! There is some good info on it by Matt Beer and Alden here: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/bike-check-alden-pates-crestline-emtb-dh-conversion.html
