Proper Mike Miller Frame

November 07, 2007 @ 9:21 AM by Mark Noble


Finally, Mike Miller's TTL frame on Proper Bike Co is out, and in the shops - here's the exclusive info... the production frames landed in the UK yesterday afternoon, and they look hot. How hot? Well, these things are going to be flying off the shelves - and for good reason. It's a damn good frame, from a damn good rider. Here's the spec...

The Mike Miller TTL comes in three lengths (20.4, 20.8, or 21 - with 21.2 in spring 08), colours (black, white, or blood red), 75 degree headtube, with or without brake mounts, 13.9 to 14.4 inch back end, 11.5 inch high BB, heat treated BB and HT, 5mm small dropouts... and it's out now!


--- We interviewed Mike in issue 106 of the magazine earlier this year - here's a clip from the story, where he talks about his new signature model on Proper Bikes.

You have a signature frame coming on on Proper Bikes. Do you want to plug it at all?

Mum: He would do if it had a name.

Yeah, it’s done, but it doesn’t have a name yet.

OK, well let’s make one up. What is your signature frame on Proper called?

Nah, I can’t. It’s like the hardest decision in the world for me. It a simple frame and pretty light at 4.9lbs. I’m really pleased with how it’s come out.

How did you end up riding for Proper?

I just went and rode at [Carlo’s] ramps one day and he saw me ride and I guess he was a bit psyched, he gave me some wheels and stuff then one day he just asked me to ride for them, I was pretty psyched and it sounded pretty good.

Is it true that you’re gonna build a massive jump box in your garden with any royalty money from your signature frame?

Yeah, well not just a jump box: like a spine mini with a jumpbox on the side.

Mum: He’s stolen half my garden!

Dad: That’s what we bought the place for: the garden.

I don’t know if it’s a good or a bad thing, but you do have a reputation of being a bit of a jump box warrior (laughs). Well, not just a box warrior, but a reputation for going high. What is it about going high that you like, I’ll probably word that a bit different when I transcribe this. (laughs)

Hank: He is high when he goes high…

I guess I just like going fast. I started riding trails, so jumping’s what I’ve always been into, I just like the feeling of going high.

You go significantly higher than most other riders. Do you think you could try and explain a little bit about how you do it? Like how do you go high on your bike?

Just crank fast and pump hard I guess...
