I don't mind the logo... looks like two bicycles/one bicycle mirrored.

Yeah i get that now that I read your comment. If you are looking at from purely an internal organ diagram, yes. Also looks like vertebra for me (as well as the two bikes mirrored) :lol:

Frames look amazing, any update on that bottle cage? Any info?

Yup, right or wrong, it makes me think "hysterectomy."

Beautifully painted bikes absolutely - like the vertebrae / ovary bike - definitely have their place and many are drool worthy; however, it makes my internal WW scale freak out.

Around here raw carbon w/o paint can feel a bit played out, but that's not the case out on the road where they're generally the exception. If I were in the fortunate position of picking one or the other on the previous page, I'd be all over the unpainted Cryptic. No question!

Sorry for the late reply just saw this. Bottle cages are complete and shipping now. I will post a pic in the next few days.

Kevin , what's the final weight of your cages? I know weight is not everything when you design a workable cage but be interesting to know.
The site looks great by the way :thumbup:

I don't think I have ever seen a worse logo in my entire life.

I'm so sorry that it's the worst logo you have ever seen in your entire life....

Anyways. Xena's it's 16 grams for the cage. Not the lightest but still respectable and it works even for mountain bikes no problem.

I finished this frame a while ago but just getting around to posting pics.

Lots of exciting things coming soon.

Molded individual chain stays that use a very advanced process to compress the layup without the use of a bladder bag. It leaves a perfect finish inside and out and puts massive pressure on the laminate. Also I'm now molding much of the main tube set on the frame.

Here is a picture of the individual stays, molded down tube and CNC cut dropouts.

Oh My God that is awesome!! What kind of carbon weave is on the top tube and down tube? Am I wrong in guessing 12K weave? I love the look of the chainstays and seatstays. Is the frame for a 27.2 seatpost?
