Grime Bikes: The Bone Mang? (New frame model)
"So there was a little test going on between myself and Wonka about rear ends. We both built up a bike with a different rear end and tested both and talked about how we felt. With the coming of the GRIME G.O.A.T. frame in the next few weeks we knew we wanted to make our US made (by squarebuilt) frame different. The G.O.A.T. has a traditional rear end in the since of seat stays and chainstays, although the production model's tube size is nothing traditional.
On Wonka's prototype we tried our first wishbone. It kept its strength, stayed straight, looked good, and felt stiff; it was everything we wanted. We were into the look of it so we decided that once we get the G.O.A.T.s in the barn we are going to be switching the Yo Mang frame to the nee Bone Mang design.
The geometry is close to the G.O.A.T and the newest Yo Mangs with a 75° headtube angle (with 420a2c fork) 73° seat tube angle and the perfect top tube lengths to go in according to seat tube lengths. The rear end is more laterally stiff than all other frames on the market. The oversized wishbone legs hold everything straight and our new oversized chainstays give ample clearance with even more strength. One of the coolest aspects of the Bone Mang is the color. A textured black created for the toughtest US made motorcycles with a masked off raw-burnt metal GRIME logo.
We are now on our 2nd generation of prototypes for the Bone Mang and planning for the third. There is going to be a stainless steel GRIME head badge (and a squarebuilt bone badge) on the production. The dropouts are going to be custom designed to prevent hanging up on grinds and keep weight down. The bottom bracket shell will be wider than traditional FGX frames but without comprimising chainline issues.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFO ABOUT THE BONE MANG.
PHOTOS OF MY BONE MANG FRAME (detail shots as well as action) WILL BE RELEASED THIS WEEK.
FRAME IS PLANNED TO BE RELEASED MID-FALL 2011."
I mean, I'm a HUGE Grime fan and I think this frame sounds insanely dope but I think that Grime has to get their priorities straight. Originally, the GOAT was scheduled to be released early July yet until this slight mention they haven't been keeping everyone posted/pumped or even mentioned anything about the GOAT on their blog or tricktrack, like they just decided to drop it. The Bone Mang does sound legit but how are we supposed to buy the GOAT when they've obviously been preoccupied with another frame that could be better?; However this frame will be built by Squarebuilt as a replacement for the Yo Mang so we can assume it will be extremely good quality and much more expensive/high end than the GOAT will be. Either way I can't wait for the release of the GOAT (hopefully soon) and the upcoming Bone Mang as well.

Track of the day: Beneath the Wheel
I haven't been into Thrash Metal for a while but I heard this again recently and the genre is starting to grow on me again. Not my usual taste though.
