The upcoming Vegas 26 and 29 inch full suspension all mountain frames will be carrying a new moniker. The 26 inch version will named “Analog” in its’ final state and the 29 inch version will be named “Digital”. We have had these names floating around for some time and since the the 29 inch version will be based on a slightly more complex system the the 26, but will aesthetically be similar, we figured now was the best time to use them. Also both new frames will be compatible with the recently announced Cane Creek Angleset system which allows for head angle changes of anywhere from .5 to 1.5 degrees in either direction. Don’t worry if you are not interested in this headset, the design will still also be compatible with all traditional 1.5 headsets and all reducer and taper models out there.

Some bikes have well deserved names while others carry unworthy monikers. This one definitely deserves its title of Skittle Puke. This aesthetic beast was built by Brendt Petersen of AZ Freeride.

The Vegas 26 inch full suspension (all mountain, trail, light freeride) frame is at the welder. Final specifications varied slightly from the last posting due to some last minute changes and are as follows:
Sizing: Medium (16.5 Inch/23.1 Effective Top Tube) And Large (18.5 Inch/24.1 Effective Top Tube)
Material: Easton FS Aluminum
Travel: 5.5 Inches (190×50 Shock)
Head Tube: Straight 1.5 (rider can no use 1 1/8, 1.5 taper, or 1.5 straight)
Head Angle: 68 Degrees
Seat Angle: 72.5 Degrees
Misc: ISCG 05, Hammerschmidt Compatible, 10mm or 12mm Maxle Rear, IGUS iGlide Self Lubricating Bushings In Accessory Linkage, Red Stainless Steel ED Plated Hardware, Increased Standover From Previous Drawings

The 29 inch version of this frame is being revamped due a chainstay length issue. We hope to a have a fresh rear end redesign for the 29 inch version complete in a few weeks and get it into production.

Normally we avoid hydroformed tubing, but this chainstay/seatstay set at the Taipei show caught our eye. The Dillinger currently uses non-branded straight gauge tubing in the rear linked to our CNC machined dropouts. By incorporating this set of hydroformed tubes we can cut 2-3 ounces off the frame, but possibly give up some stiffness or possibly add some. Testing would be run to see if there would be a change. In the comments section below we want to hear your thoughts.
