Las Vegas, NV \u2013 Blow off a little steam at Montague\u2019s \u201cBike Smash\u201d at Booth 24105.\u00a0 Show-goers are invited to swing a weapon of their choice at a bike locked to a parking meter.\u00a0 Montague\u2019s message?\u00a0 Wouldn\u2019t you have more piece of mind with your bike indoors?<\/p>\n
But the big news at the folding-bike brand, celebrating its 25th<\/sup> anniversary, is its frame program. The program includes Montague\u2019s slotted-dropout single-speed Boston and flat-bar road bike FIT frames, as well as its hardtail X90 mountain bike.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are not offering custom builds for our bikes, but offering dealers a good cross section of our frame line allows them to customize their builds,\u201d said Jonathan Vandenberg, Montague\u2019s product manager.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause our bikes use normal components dealers can build them up just like they do any bike,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Vandenberg says many dealers have one or two special customers who want a full-size travel bike, but they want it built like their current road or mountain bike.<\/p>\n \u201cBefore we offered framesets, dealers would have to buy a complete bike and strip it down and rebuild it.\u00a0 And we know quite a few people were doing this because of all the custom-build photos riders send in to the company,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n The single-speed matte black Boston can be built up as a fixie or use a variety of internal-gear hubs.\u00a0 It comes in two sizes, 19-inch and 21-inch.\u00a0 The FIT comes in the same two frame sizes but accommodates a derailleur drivetrain and comes in a green-black color scheme.<\/p>\n The X90 mountain frame comes in 18-inch and 20-inch sizes.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Blurb” title=”Download PDF” url=”\/assets\/media\/news\/bicycle-retailer-interbike-frames-feature-2012.pdf” url_new_window=”off” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”\ue059” icon_color=”#5b5b5b” use_circle=”off” circle_color=”#dd3333″ use_circle_border=”off” circle_border_color=”#dd3333″ icon_placement=”top” animation=”top” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”center”] [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Montague takes a swing at frameset-only sales Las Vegas, NV \u2013 Blow off a little steam at Montague\u2019s \u201cBike Smash\u201d at Booth 24105.\u00a0 Show-goers are invited to swing a weapon of their choice at a bike locked to a parking meter.\u00a0 Montague\u2019s message?\u00a0 Wouldn\u2019t you have more piece of mind with your bike indoors?
