So Blue...Custom Painted Makulu!

Kyle wanted a new Makulu frame...he wanted a blue Makulu.  This year's colors did not include blue so the factory in South Africa turned out this beautiful 2013 Makulu.  For you young guns looking for extra bling, be sure to check out the Makulu etching on the Cane Creek Double Barrel!  Kyle is the owner of the Alpine Hut in Seattle.  On the floor you can also check out a sweet Sukuma on the floor that needs an owner.

Morpheus Vimana

The Vimana arrived today.  Wow!  The detail on this frame is amazing!  For now here are a few details and quick shots of the frame.

• Proprietary TRD (Telescopic Rear Dropout) System
• 24 “ or 26”
• Chainstay length 14.3" to 15.8"
• Design, testing, anodizing and assembly in NYC, USA

2013 Morewood Kalula

The Kalula...so nice, I did it twice!  Seriously, check out the photos below of my previous Kalula builds.  My house is situated near three bike parks in Colorado.  Yes, I am blessed but you don't need to live near a resort to enjoy the Kalula's 7" of low-leverage, freeride travel.  Go big anywhere!  Run it at your favorite freeride spot, local DH track, in the park, or wherever.  Kalula means "easily" in Zulu as in how easily you will be able to attack freeride terrain.  This bike is easily my favorite Morewood model because you get on it, ride it, and never wipe the smile off your face.

The Kalula is one of three 7" models in the 2013 Morewood line-up which also includes the enduro focused Jabula and the budget minded Zama.

2013 Morewood Izimu

Name another handmade, adjustable geometry, championship winning DH bike that costs as much as an Izimu...you can't.  This is the privateer frame of choice.  2008 US National Pro Men's Championship?  2013 Australian Women's Championship?  Other Championships around the globe? Check, check, and check. 

You East Coasters need to get a hold of Ben at Bunny Hop Bikes, who has become the Morewood Izimu King.  Check out some of his past Izimu builds here.

Morewood Zuliza?

What do you get when you cross a Morewood Zula with a Morewood Ndiza?  You get a Ndula...nah, a Zuliza!  Whatever you would like to call it this little bike rips.  Morewood needs a replacement for the Ndiza...will this be it?  Maybe, we can hope and pray.  Here are some photos that show the evolution of the Zuliza...enjoy!

By the time we set-up for the Windham World Cup Fabien's bike had been further improved with the addition of a Bos Deville fork.

Patrick built a linkage frame to stiffen up the rear end Zuliza 2.0

Bicycle Retailer Article

This is from a couple of years ago.  I had heard from industry people that I was in Bicycle Retailer but I never found out when.  The article is about my old business Entrada Imports.  Here is the article: http://read.dmtmag.com/i/33105/16

The article has a quote from Gavin Voss who's brand Spank Components actually worked with Devil Bear Racing and the Colorado Crankworx photo is actually from Kokanee Crankworx...but hey, what are you going to do?

Check out these three Morewood Izimu builds from Bunny Hop Bikes in Lancaster, PA. The red one needs our "Singletrack Mind Mountain Logo" on it somewhere. Sicks builds...I am sure Tracey Hannah misses her Izimu. They are simple, handmade championship winning frames.
