I gotta say after communicating with Ed over the last several weeks I'm really stoked to have have pre-ordered this frame. Just like everyone else who pre-ordered this frame I wish to have been riding it by now. Words can't describe how much effort Ed has put into producing this frame. Just driving back in forth to the production facility in Sourthern California traffic would alone send me to the edge, and then having to communicate with everyone making sure   all the details are to spec is insane. Custom colors, custom options, and custom geo on such a low count of frames is super rare at an affordable price mind you. I'm just posting this because I really appreciate what Ed is offering us. Thank you Ed!

Ok, where is my frame? Just bs'ing. Can't wait until it arrives.  :beer: Peace, Jerry M.

hey Pete do i get commission for posting the pics of arrons frame and therefore prompting rmmcel2001 to buy one? haha.





Nice try Lou  ^_^




DAMN!...LOL  ^_^

just to straighten some stuff out... i have not had time to edit my website and update the details. i was hoping to have some frames in my hand already so i could post up pics and all that. anyway, here is the deal. the frames are at the paint shop. so all the people that pre-ordered need not worry. soon the frames will be on their way. basically my welder and i are hoping that all the frames will be done by friday. i was told that some were done yesterday and i am going to call to see what got painted today. keep in mind that with the custom colors, the production colors and the intrikat instrumentals that the paint shop has got to run quite a few colors.

as for the production colors i am basically running black and gray. i forget the final count of how many of each there will be but it is not that many. originally i was gonna run half clear but not all the tubing was looking so hot and it would have been a hassle to sort out tubes for the clear frames. sometimes you get lucky and all the tubing looks dope but that wasn't the case this time. all the frames get sandblasted before paint so its not an issue for colors.

so there you have it. black or gray. thats what sick child is puttin out this year. i did happen to waste 5 hours driving in traffic to pull a production model from the stacks so i could take it to voodoo. it never made it to voodoo but i am able to tell you that it weighs 4 lbs 2 ozs.

i gotta jet but if anyone has any questions hit me up at ed@sickchildbikes.com

peace
ed




All your hard work is much appreciated Ed, im super stoked on getting this frame! Makes it worth more just knowing what went into producing them, thanks Ed!
