“The Forecaster has the most technical geometry that we offer. It’s perfect for street and park riders who need the steep 75˚ headtube and the short 13.25″ chainstay length. Plus it comes with a Wave downtube and the 41 Thermal lifetime guarantee. The Forecaster is ridden by Gary Young, Jake Seeley, Eric Lichtenberger, Erik Elstran, Lee Dennis and Alex Magallan. Watch the video to see all the features.” – Sunday

Skavenger dropped some information on Tom White’s signature “El Blanco Loco” frame that will be dropping in March. You will be able to pick the frame up with a 75 degree head tube angle and two chainstay lengths; 20.75″ or 21″ top tube lengths with a 13.25″ rear end or 21″ top tube with a 14.25″ chainstay length. The El Blanco Loco will weigh in at 5.20 lbs. and be available in black. My guess the bike will also be available in white… since that makes since with the name and everything, right?
Some of the other features that you can find by checking out the photos right here would be unique bridges on the stays with a little extra beef, a Skavenger logo badge on the head tube, a gusset on the down tube/head tube junction, a machined bottom bracket that looks like it was designed for bottom bracket grinds / crooked grinds and removable seat stay mounts.
