Just a quick congrats to everyone who slogged though the Odyssey this weekend and managed to triumphantly finish.  Our boys Brett Carr and Erin Francis finished 24th and 75th respectively, which is a supreme effort.  A huge golf clap too for a recent customer of ours, Richie Pinard, who finished his first Odyssey aboard his Thylacine as the 154th Veteran to cross the line with a total saddle time approaching 10 hours!  My bum chafes just thinking about that.

I’ll get Brett and Erin to post their thoughts once they emerge from their caves.

You’ll be surprised to hear I don’t post every single frame we do here because frankly I prefer to have a life, but every once in a while you either get a really cool frame though the door, or one like this that kinda embodies Thylacine.

You know what I’m talkin’ about.  TEAM ORANGE.

How can anyone not think this is the grooviest colour ever made?  Just look at it!  Pearl orange so gold-y and orange-y it almost hurts to look at it.

This frame is a classic Arete SL 29er - Breeze dropouts, oversize 31.8 seat tube with fusion welded insert, Paragon superlight disc tab and hydro guides, all rendered in classic True Temper OX Platinum tubes including the simple and elegant single bend stays.

You beee-U-tay.
