DARKWAVE MATTE BLACK SUNDAY FRAME
Broc Raiford's signature frame, Darkwave, is one of the most versatile frames on the market. The Darkwave model is a 100% Chromoly 4130 frame. The Down-Tube has a "dent-resistant wave" material to protect the frame in case of a fall. Details like the integrated seat clamp or the integrated chain tensioners show a great finish. About the rear chainstays, they are "Tapered" tubes that flare out for more strength and keep the frame super stiff throughout the progression.
Indeed, this frame is designed to support shocks, even the biggest ones! Reinforced welds between the Top Tube and the Seat Tube make your frame much more reliable.
Broc Raiford wanted a 75.25° head tube angle to keep the front end very responsive, with 13.25" long chainstays and a 9.25" high seat tube to give the bike pop and control when doing balance tricks.
FEATURES:
- 100% 4130 Chromoly frame
- Broc Raiford signature geometry
- Wave down tube: The double-butted, 1.45" diameter down-tube feature Sunday's proven Wave shaping to fight denting against contact made from a rail, ledge, coping and whatever else happens to get thrown at it
- Integrated seat clamp
- Butted Seat Tube & Miter Cut Top Tube:
A miter-cut top tube creates a precise joint with the seat stays during welding. This increases the strength substantially over frames that use a “sandwiched” top tube at this critical junction.
- Tapered Chain & Seat Stays:
Both chain and seat stays taper to provide a refined and clean look to the frame while still providing strength. They are both angled on the inside for improved chain clearance and weight savings.
- Hollow Dropouts with Chain Tensioners:
Hollow 8mm wide dropouts are as light as a solid 5mm dropout, but over twice as strong. There is a small internal chain tensioner to hold the wheel in position and to simplify wheel removal.
- Removable Brake Hardware and gyro tabs
Proven, removable, brake mounts and cable guides/stops work flawlessly when installed and allow for a sleek overall look when they’re not.
