Triton Sponge frames... titanium trials.

Thats a really nice frame! Sucks that they put the threads on the wrong
side. But still... thats just minor and those frames are awsome.
I'm sure he'll find someone to try out his frames without you guys
arguing about who can break stuff the best. Personally I think if you
break stuff you have a problem. Id rather have as few problems as
possible and I definitally wouldnt boast about them.

Wow, your really behind with the video sections then arent
you?

The frame looks sweet. I was going to mention Joe as a tester, seeing
how you guys are close to eachother and all, but then I am not sure how
his Koxx sponsorship will react with that. From what I have read, they
are pretty strict with what you ride.

The frame looks sweet, will probably perform amazingly too, but, for
me, as of now, my KH frame is still light, and still strong enough for
me. Your frame will be (Ill know after the testing period is done and
start to see how well it holds up) an option if my KH ever breaks.

If I have the money for the frame.. it is going to be the only option
of mine. It's so sexy I couldn't turn it down.

I can't wait to see it with a wheel mounted.

Frames look sensational. You might consider making a 24" version (use
the exact same design) for the muni crowd. They tend to be a little
older and can buy things like expensive frames.

Sponge hasn't replied to this since you asked that.

How is anyone supposed to know?

Sorry I haven't replied to all of your questions, sometimes I miss one
or two. I'm seriously busy with work and everything else right now.

As for the purged/ vacuum welded question, I honestly can't tell you
right now, as I didn't weld them. I'm no expert on titanium welding
theory, but I could ask Dmitry how it was done.

As for the threads, I found out why they were done the 'wrong way
around'. Infact, Dmitry had to change that around on purpose. To be
honest, it's fine either way.


"We only had to put the thread on the top half of the bearing holders
due to the welds (there were no space for the bolt heads)."



As for testing, I already know exactly who is testing and using them.
So arguing about who should test them is really pointless. Skrobo,
however harsh you may be on parts, I already made my mind about who's
testing them a long time ago and I have no regrets. Simple pure
harshness on parts really doesn't impress me for testing, it needs to
be tested for other things as well like how convenient it is for
sidehops/knee bashing and gliding etc..
