Faction Amero MK1

This is the Faction Bike Co. Amero frame (pictured with their fork). If you are not familiar with Faction, they are the only company out there (that I'm aware of) making 22" wheeled bikes, frames, and forks. That's right - I said 22 inch wheels. Not 24, not 26.

This frame is completely re-designed from the ground up for dirt/street/park.  Lets look at the main differences between the Amero MK1 and Faction's debut frame the Zeitgeist. Up front the head angle is just a 1/2 degree forward from the Zeitgeist at the standard 75 and the seat angle is 71. The bottom bracket height is a full inch higher at 12.5 inches. And what should be really noticeable is the rear end. The chainstay length is 13.6 inches - a full two inches shorter than the Zeitgeist.

Check out their site for all the info about the company and why they are dedicated to the 22".
