Happy turkey day to you all. The following are Specific details about the Jeff Lyon sponsership: Custom geometry- Frames are going to available in 1 cm increments from very small to very tall. You can also select the length of the top tube if you have special needs. Please also send give your weight in lbs so Jeff can beef up any frames if need be. Head-Tube- You will have the option of a 1 inch or a 1 and 1/8 inch headtube. 1 inch headtubes are lighter and cooler, 1 1/8 is stronger for all you heavy riders out there. 160lbs or a 60cm frame is a good point to begin considering a larger headtube. All forks will be threadless. Tubing- I have made the excutive decision to go with Reynolds 725. It will cost about the same as the dedaccai tubeset and it is a little lighter, but still super durable. Dropouts will be ritchey vertical dropouts. Paint- will be a 1-color Imron Gold, or possibly a gold powder-coat. Jeff is still experimenting with powdercoat technology. Color is not negotiable, where your Huskey colors with pride! Prices- The prices will be.... For Frame and 1 inch Ritchey steel fork- $500 For Frame and Reynolds Ouzo Comp carbon fork- $575 ,Ouzo Comp has an aluminum steer-tube and is available in a 1" and 1 1/8" For Lightweights, there is the option of a Frame and a Ritchey all-Carbon Fork with 1" steer tube for $600. I don't know anything about the fork, it's not on Ritchey's website, I assume it's safe. Even so, we would like the cutoff weight on this deal to 150lbs If you a Frame Only, the price will be $450 A deposit of $250 will get your foot in the door. Please try to lay-down as much as you can up-front. I can assure you, Jeff is making no money off this, and this deal is worth stiffing your relatives at Christmas. Checks should be payable to Jeff Lyon. Please don't give me cash, I can't be trusted. The deposit is due before the end of the year, so I would like everyone's deposit before christmas. If you have questions, please e-mail me. You can also talk to me face-to-face at the team meeting and a May even bring a sample frame for people to stare at. This deal is available for DUES paying team members only. Nick, I do not want to know about spelling mistakes I may have made. -alex .
