Earlier today, United Bike Co. released a video and flipbook giving us a look at their brand new TRU frame that is available now. We were digging it, so we figured it would be a good idea to give you guys a closer look! The TRU frame is made right here in the USA by FBM out of 4130 chromoly with a 74.4-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.5″ bottom bracket height, 9″ stand over height and a 13.36″ – 13.9″ (21″) and 13.7″ – 14.11″ (21.25″ & 21.5″) chain stay lengths.
The TRU frame features a heat-treated head tube, MID bottom bracket and drop outs, a gusset on the down tube, a custom cast Pewter head tube badge (BEAUTIFUL), bullet tipped seat and chain stays, an integrated seat post clamp and the options of removable brake mounts on the seat or chain stays or welded on brake mounts on the chain stays. This frame is designed to fit 30 – 33 tooth sprockets (and smaller) and the rear end will fit 2.30″ tires. The frame is available in 21″, 21.25″ and 21.5″ top tube lengths with a weight of 5.3 lbs. (21.5″) and comes in colors of clear coat raw, translucent black and translucent green.
The TRU frame is VERY limited edition. Only 100 of these are available worldwide, so if you’re digging this… You need to get on ordering one ASAP.

“Since the KL40 frames were retired back in 2010, we have been looking to fill the void and have a frame that is truly at home in the woods. We put the word out to our riders and by working with the fine folks at FBM, they handcrafted us this beauty in New York with options to suit even the saltiest of trail dogs. One rider that helped a ton with the input on this one was Tyson Jones-Peni and here he talks you through what trails and trail riding mean to him.
