Final details are still being worked out, but we got so excited by our latest prototype of The Fisticuff, we had to share. Facts are still international spy secrets, but look forward to a do-all, 'cross inspired velocipede, with quality butted steel and a visa-friendly price tag.

Look for this bike at the Trans Iowa race this April, ridden by Ben Shockey of Decorah Cycles.

One of the first available OptimusTi builds ridden by Vassago team rider J. Sanborn. We are anxiously awaiting our WTB kits for the season, thus the Kenda shoes. The bike weighs in at just under 22lbs with gears and Fox fork. Ah'Niceeee.

Expect to see more of Zoe (the pseudo-chupacabra) and the OptimusTi as the race season kicks off for '08.

As previously mentioned on this news blog, the PitchFork was destined to be renamed and possibly redesigned. After several different style protos, we realized the best move would be to not change a damn thing..but the name of course.

So the same, race proven Vassago steel fork is hens forth to be called the ODIS fork. For more info or to get you some, check out the ODIS fork page.

We hate saying this like we hate cheap beer, but the Jabberwocky delivery has been delayed until late March.

We didn't anticipate the demand, ran out of stock, and we admit it, we suck. We are a small shop here and were, to be quite honest, completely unprepared for the demand since DirtDemo last year. We sold out of Jabberwockys in December and the '08 Bandersnatch sold almost 85% of stock in a month.

With several models currently in development, we've overextended our meager staff and will need a bit more time to get up to speed with all of the new Vassago offerings.

While this is good for business, it's bad for our customers. We are expanding our warehouse again and order quantities have been multiplied many times over to insure we can continue delivering Vassago goodness to the world and avoid the frustration of back orders.
