Mutiny

United
Dinero
The awesome Dinero forks came first, and now United have just released the frame to match and it does not disappoint! What makes the forks famous is the investment casted dropouts, and of course these are here on the Dinero frame too. Rock solid dropout set up, which is proven by the team. Also, while they were at it United also decided to investment cast the seat clamp which is a really nice touch. Ashley Charles and Alex Valentino both rep this frame hard, both even have their own colour way to choose from. 100% seamless Japanese 4130 cromo, straight gauge tube set with tapered down tube and stays, heat treated headtube, BB and dropouts.

Wethepeople
Scorpio
WeThePeople switched up the LO-FI frame and it’s now called “Scorpio”. The Scorpio frame is literally a follow on from that, where everything was clean, simple and strong. This all stays. The one thing you notice right away is the hydro formed top and downtube gusset. These are a new feature and provide a greater surface area for welding which in turn makes for a stronger join. This thing just looks like it could take a beating or 2 and it even includes a lifetime guarantee! WTP mean business with this one, it’s so slick. Ours came through in raw, it’s available in black, chrome plate and trans blue but, the trans red version is immense so keep an eye out for that one!

Skavenger
El Blanco Loco
This thing is a work of art from Skavenger! It’s had everyone drooling over it in the office. El Blanco Loco is Tom White’s signature frame. This really is a class act, especially in chrome. It’s made from Mugen double-butted and heat treated tubing that is 20% stronger than 4130. The custom headtube badge is dope too, really sets everything off. As for the specs, butted seat tube and tapered stays with removable brake mounts and custom chain and seatstay braces as we’ve come to expect from Skavenger. 5mm heat treated dropouts and an extra wide rear end for those 2.35 MTT’s to slide in to with ease.

Benny L Bars
The UK has been awaiting these for some time. Benny L’s signature Fit 4 piece bars. These look so good!

Fly
Manual Brake + Lever
What Fly have done here is awesome. The Manual brake and lever are both based on the Classico brake system. That set up wasn’t cheap so they decided to figure a way of creating a proven system, for half the price. Here it is, the Manual brake and lever. Fly simply eliminated the CNC process and went with the cost effective mould treatment. It works a treat and it’s good to know companies are looking our for us in difficult financial times. Good stuff. Brake RRP: £54.99 Lever RRP: £27.99
