Title: does anyone have any info on dark bikes?
Post by: ironman on December 18, 2005, 20:00:48 PM
i once saw a fat-ass downhill bike in america and i asked the guy what it was. he replied that he was part of a small company that him and his friends organised to make the production of thinner DH bikes made out of 100% cro-mo steel. i just wondered if any one has any pics or info of the bikes.

I think frame works can get hold of them as indeed i can but there is no official distributor as they dont make enough on the frames.

Yeah, your looking at around 6 months to get a Scarab, because they make them to order.
