We have seen plenty of versions of Nathan Williams’ signature Mothership frame from United Bike Co. over the years. It looks like the third version of the frame has just received a new paint job that goes by the name of translucent Dark Forest Green, and damn does it look good.
The Mothership V3 frame is made from 100% Seamless Japanese 4130 chromoly straight gauge and butted tubing with a 75.25-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.8″ bottom bracket height, 8.8″ standover height and a 13.3″ (slammed / 13.6″ centered) chain stay length. You can find a heat-treated integrated head tube and MID bottom bracket, gusset on the down tube with a de-bossed United logo, an ovalized down tube to help resist denting, a wider junction at the bottom bracket for improved strength, an investment cast rounded seat stay bridge, a wide rear triangle to fit 2.40″ tires, offset thickness ovalized chain stays to help resist denting, an investment cast seat post clamp, removable brake mounts and heat-treated 14mm drop outs that are flattened to make room for hub guards.
The Mothership V3 is available in top tube lengths of 20.25″, 20.5″, 20.8″ and 21″ with a weight of 5.1 lbs. (21″) and colors of translucent Dark Forest Green, gloss black, gloss aqua, real tree camo, gloss clear and purple brush though BMX shops and mail-orders that carry United Bike Co. worldwide.
