Tonic Fab News

We’ll get our site updated with this bike before too long.

Until then, here it is.  Thanks to Cory Tepper for shooting these photos, and Atomlab and X-Fusion for helping with the build.

Below is the press release and some photos. I hope folks dig this bike.

Changes:

• Less Weight: The new Howie with our Deep Coat finish weighs 4.8lbs / 2.18 kg.

• Less Chainstays: 14.56” / 370mm

• Less Cost: $625 USD including bottom bracket.

• Less Hassle: Tonic Mid 90 bottom bracket.

The Mid 90 is simply a BMX mid bottom bracket scaled-up for use with a mountain bike chain line. Frames will ship with this BB installed.

The Mid 90 has some real advantages:

• Ease of setting up the bike with 3 piece cranks for a mountain bike chain line. The only spacer is the non-drive side bearing cap. The sprocket adaptor sits right against the drive side bearing.

• Uses the same common and durable bearings as a regular Mid BB.

• 90 is a very high number, so you know it’s good.
