When it rains, it pours.
We
just posted new carbon 29er hardtails from boutique builders
Momsen and Chiru, now One Ghost Industries is in
on the action. We saw a prototype
of this at Interbike, and now founder David Meredith says
his One Ghost Ronin is ready to ship in
March.
And
that sweet full carbon fork? It’s ready,
too, but there are only six of them available, so order
now if you want the matchy-matchy. There are only seven
of each frame size available in the March production run,
so those are pretty limited, too.
Ronin, which means “masterless warrior”, claims
to be the ultimate XC weapon…whether that’s
endurance, regular or short track XC makes no difference.
The
Ronin frame uses a full monocoque frame construction with
a
BB30 bottom bracket. David says this lets them run a normal
BB30 bottom bracket or put an eccentric BB in there to
run it as a single speed. Frame/Fork is $1,799 $1,499,
and various build kits/complete bikes might be available.
Frame only is $1,099.
Of
course, you can choose to deck out your One Ghost bike
with their own Candy Components parts, which include some
pretty good colors for bar, post clamp, headset &
pedals.
