The Make will drop their new team frame the Assassin on the masses next month. This frame features two toptude sizes, an extra steep 75.5° headtube angle and a pop-infused 13.25” chainstay – making it an excellent choice for tech riding. Available in gloss black only, but The Make did released a pic of some sample colors they’re considering. //themake//

Cinema VX Front Hub

VX front hubs are now available worldwide. The VX's front 6061 hub shell features angled and variable width flanges to help reduce bearing seat stretch and a SUJ2 axle that's harder than chromoly. It's got 7075 press-on cones and 3/8″ female chromoly bolts with a 6mm allen key hole and 17mm flats. They're currently available in black, orange (shown), and purple. This is the same front hub that you've been seeing on bike checks with the team guys for the past six months.
