Prototype: The Ghost Death Project

I haven't been doing this a LONG time, like most in the industry.  I got started late.  Riding.  Building...learning and taking things to the 'next level'.  But I know what I'm doing.  It comes naturally to me it seems.  I have a knack for building a great bike, even though I'm not the best rider and can't FULLY enjoy ALL of that bike.

I'm like the 'Vince Lombardi' of bikes...never played in the NFL, but the greatest coach to ever run a team?  I can build one mean bike, even though I'm not a world-class rider.

I have my own wheelsets: The Death Projects Custom premium carbon hoops.  Wrapped around White, Onyx, or RideFast hubs, shod with various rubber depending on the circumstance.  Bulletproof and light!

So the next natural progression?  What the hell!  Let's build a frame!  I searched high and low and found someone to do just that.  To my specs.  For now.  More boutique to come, but an inexpensive option to mess around with the idea.

I proudly bring you "The Death Projects" branded GHOST Hardcore hardtail frame!  Long travel, low, slack as F*&%!  Fast.  Fluid.  FUN!  You'll see.  And only the best of the best:  Cane Creek, e*thirteen, TRP, branded wheels, etc...

This is a ONE-OFF prototype, for now.  We'll see how it rides first before getting into production on these.  But it's unique.  A one-off frame, a very very rare Helm MkII fork (IPA, one of 30 ever made), that sexy Candy Ray bar, that Ring and pedals, and my one-off wheels...
