So stoked to be working with Neko on the Frameworks project for over 2 years now. His work ethic and drive is unmatched. Congrats Neko on all you have achieved. We are simply the machines behind your designs. 🔥🔥🔥

At least its not built in a sweatshop

[@jrive075]

I want a fremworks bike focused on trail/ enduro more than DH. I’m all for supporting this project!!!!

Ochain is solving a (almost) non existing problem. Watch "How Your Chain Interacts With Your Suspension - The Tuesday Tune 31" and "What is PEDAL KICKBACK?...Should you care?" for the explanation. Except when you lock your rear wheel (which anyway you should not do) or have big impacts at very low speeds, the suspension can move and the chain can grow WITHOUT engaging the hub, so no pedal kickback. Pinkbike is pushing a myth created by the fact that people confuse a demo with a static bike with what is happening when the bike is ridden.

Neko and his crew have done the near impossible with Frameworks, and at minimum should take some pride in what they’ve achieved (& he found Asa too - a future world champ for sure)

[@DandyHippo]

The look is clean. This is the most likable way of producing a bike imo

[@steven.9263]

You can't even currently buy this bike. You can put 50% down and pay for the other half when the bike ships. Problem is, they don't even have a date lined up, so who knows when you'll even get the bike.

This thing will take beating after beating, owner after owner, year after year, upgrade, rebuild and end up in a 2045 bike check video still riding great!

What's happening with Henry's hair on the back side 😂

[@joecantello]

At the end of the day your buying a bike built by God. I dream about owning a bike that Frank built.

[@TheScramble8]

There is something about this bike/team. Very likeable and fast

[@travislineback]

So stoked for this bike!🤙🏼

[@elex.sports]

It's always a pleasure working with Neko and Frameworks team building ENVE wheels! Super stocked for team's success! 💪💪💪

[@Mapl3Syrup]

Frameworks is the best

[@jankaskyevitchjellbet7293]

Good proposition!

That is funny . I remember seeing a TURNER back in 97 at whistler getting unpacked in a store . While skiing there 😂

[@J4M3SB4K3R]

I was hoping for commencal next, but this bike brand is interesting

[@vlbz]

How is the ochain different from a low engagement hub?
