Description
HOODBIRD
Morgan wanted his frame tall, strong, and fast handling.
After plenty of test riding, we checked all the boxes with a 9.5”
stand-over with 5” head tube, Supertherm front end with double gussets
and a 75.75 degree head angle-making this the tallest and steepest frame
we’ve made to date. Thick quarter-inch (6mm) drops with a medium length
slot offer tons of strength and adjustment. For all the riders that run
brakes we added our 5 degree angled brake inserts for better cable
alignment, and we offer a matching 5 degree angled cable stop to further
improve cable alignment if necessary. For ease of BB bearing removal
without damage, we included our EX-out punch slots to the BB shell.

“The Hoodbird is tall, fast and strong. Made in America with double
gussets and 6mm dropouts so strength is no concern. Tall and steep 5
inch head tube with 9.5” standover. You’re set for takeoff with a
Hoodbird under you. “ – Morgan Long
