2016 Preview - Fuego Frame and Bars
With our 2016 range of complete bikes, frames and parts starting to become available in countries all over the world and the remaining countries receiving shipments over the next few weeks, we're very excited to give you a complete look at Devon Smille's signature 2016 Fuego frame and bars.
For 2016, Devon wanted to make a few changes to his Fuego frame. The first thing you will notice is that we've added external gussets. These gussets are an addition to the internal integrated gussets we already utilize on the frame, making for an extremely strong front end. Next, we've raised the seat tube height a half inch to 9.25" and shortened the back end to 13.35" making for a strong frame that's built to take on the streets. We have also added an additional top tube length for those of you who are looking for a smaller frame. This year, the Fuego will be available in 21" and 20.5" top tube lengths. We have also switched to a Mid bottom bracket to accommodate our new 24mm Dolmen cranks, the spindle size was too large for Spainish bearings, and our traditional Dylan removable brake mounts for a clean looking frame for brakeless riders.
We have also given the frame some fresh paint. You will be able to pick this frame up in our new semi-translucent brown, flat grey and a translucent black.
