When we posted up a link to Mick Bayzand’s Bike Check up on the Colony site, we had noticed that Mick had a new signature frame for 2015 called the Burma. We figured it would be a good idea to give you guys a closer look at this new frame! The Burma is a full 4130 chromoly frame with a heat-treated head tube, Mid bottom bracket and drop outs with a 75-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.5″ bottom bracket height, 8.75″ stand over height and 13.5″ chain stay length. The frame features gussets on the top and down tubes, a tapered top and down tube and rear stays, a wide rear end for 2.40″ tires, investment cast seat and chain stay gussets for extra strength, removable brake mounts with Colony’s Investment Cast removable brake tabs, a built-in seat post clamp and 5mm thick 14mm drop outs. The Burma frame is available in top tube lengths of 20.85″ and 21″ with colors of gloss black, Bloody black, chrome and a limited edition Rainbow color with a weight of 5.22 lbs. (20.85″).

Here’s a unique one we just spotted over on the Colony website. If you run their Wasp hub and are due for an upgrade for the driver or are looking for a little bit of weight savings, they have just released this new 7075-T6 alloy version for you to give a go.

This driver retails for around $59.99 are is available through all shops and mail-orders that carry Colony.

“We’ve had Chris Courtenay test these for over 6 months now & have stood the test of time. We’re proud to offer those who want a further weight saving the choice of a 7075T6 Alloy driver for our Wasp Hubs. Alex Hiam & others on the team all now swear by these drivers.”

Note: This driver is compatible with Colony’s Wasp hub only. Just incase you were thinking of trying it with other hubs.

Product: Colony – Clone Freecoaster Hub

January 21, 2015

There’s no doubt that the freecoaster world has blown up huge these past few years and a number of brands have offered their own take on this popular hub working with the proven KHE internals. Colony introduced their Clone freecoaster a little while back now that features a CNC machined alumninum hub shell that was designed with a slimmer design to help reduce weight and a laser etched logo. As we said before, inside you can find a 14mm hollow chromoly axle and the popular KHE internals that a number of other hubs also use because, simply put, it gets the job done. The driver has an angular contact bearing for additional load support and they have included 3 slack washers to all you to get your hub set just the way you like it. The Clone freecoaster is available in colors of Rainbow and black, 36-hole only, right or left side drive with a 9-tooth driver and a weight of 1.26 lbs. (20.28 oz. / 575 grams).

Check out the black version along with an instructional video giving you a look at how to adjust the slack on this hub! below.
