So it looks like we've got an update on the teaser. I've been wanting to know more about this bike since I've been considering a Randognar style bike.

from all city:

For the Cosmic*Staillion*the*tubeset*was engineered with several goals in mind:*

A significant weight savings over our existing 853 frames*

Enhanced bump absorption*

Increased stiffness**

Increased*fatigue life**

So how did we do?

Well, we managed to shave 5oz off our Reynolds 853 built Macho King in the 55cm size, and in testing, the Cosmic Stallion exceeded our requirements by a significant factor.*In fact, after it doubled the amount of required test cycles we simply turned the machines off. (Hey machine time, is expensive and we knew what we had to know!)*This thing*is plenty strong, and*significantly lighter than any disc model we've ever produced.**

It also sports a number of frame features that are firsts for All-City:*

Integrated headset*
Tapered headtube*
New*Signature thru-axle dropout*
Shaped Stays*
Di2 Compatibility**
*
It sounds like it will have all the bells and whistles that I would want on a grode/grovel bike and i did the math right it will be 2184g
