Some New 2009 Transition Frames

Here is some info on our 2 new transition frames:

The Bank Hardtail

The Bank hardtail is the new evolution of do-it-all aluminum hardtails. Built to be incredibly light as well as strong for aggressive styles of riding, the Bank shines as a 4X/dual slalom rig as well as a dirt jumper.
