A custom, one off annodizing would be pretty expensive if we even were to do that. Blue will be an option later on down the road but not quite yet. People are already bummed at the price, making it more expensive is not something we are planning on doing.

Any chances that the back dropouts will be square ever? That's the only part I find disappointing.
Probably in the future, because Elmer wants a deck like that.

I would choose this deck over the new TSI deck because there are no welds to break. I would choose it over the new Phoenix deck because there is no extra material on the sides. Plus I have no idea how they are going to attach the headtube.

how many people on here are snapping $200 decks daily?This deck is basically andrew broussards deck,designed by him,for him.No one needs that deck,the down tube and head tube look rediculous and should definitely be re designed in the future.Also,if they want people to buy their deck that is claimed to be cost efficient,why dont they make it cost efficient for the consumer?

^ The only people that need this deck are people who like solid decks that won't break and ride well but still have a good strength to weight ratio. The deck is cost efficient for the processes it takes to make it. It could be more expensive, but for all the CNC work that goes into it it is a good price.

i still dont see how this is stronger than a lucky or another deck like that,or atleast significantly stronger.

Then again, how much CNC work goes into a Lucky deck, and is still half the price...
That is, after anodization.
Plus I have no idea how they are going to attach the headtube.
The exact same way their old headtube is attached? The dimensions of the innermost walls are the same.

I wouldn't be saying the things I am about this deck if they were not true. I am not exaggerating its strength or how it feels. I will say that the neck is not the most attractive thing, but function over form.
