Sorry to drag this back to the top, but i have just recived a bit of info about the new Ti Holeshot, looks to be a great frame and available to pre order (with Progressive Bikes!) in the next few weeks! Based around a 6" fork with a nice long TT and slack HA looks to have well sorted geo for a classic UK long travel hard tail.
The Brodie 2008-2010 Cruzado XC Ti frame was a real work of art and little known over here, but the few that did buy the frame were really impressed with the quality of workmanship and Ti tube set used.
There will also be a Cyclo cross and road Ti frame.
Lets hope no one tells Mike.
Why would that be? If it's because it looks like the Dialled bikes frames, i think i have seen many bikes over the years with a seat brace, made of Ti and capabable of using long forks, no? 🙂
what is holeshot?
and is it hole-shot, or holes-hot?
/numpty question
that looks nice
Holeshot is the name of a bike that Brodie Bikes have been making for a many a year (at least 2003).
How much out of interset Si?
Holeshot is getting into the first corner in first place in a 4x/bmx race, isn't it?
It's also the name of a bike made by Dialled Bikes.
Yes, price pleasee Si. And if possible some measurements.

yeas, which is why I think it's a strange name for a long-forked, slack frame....
Dialled's frame is more appropriately named
I was kidding Si.
Isn't "holeshot" the feeling after a particularly long ride?
ahh cynic, as in "my arse hole is shot, need a better saddle"
or a supple Ti frame, therefore we actually have a new bike that fills a need 😉
Isn't "holeshot" the feeling after a particularly long ride?
That is certainly how mine feels 🙂
Yet to see exact geo, but will do very soon along with a price. If anyone is really interested drop me an email as there won't be too many available.
I now have geo details for anyone interested.
Stock is due to lane in Canada any day now, as soon as its landed i'll have a price (hoping for around £1k)
Yumyum
Holeshot is just getting off the line first in any form of head to head race, especially in 1/4mile drag racing
Just had word from Canada that my stock is due to arrive very soon. Price will be a very reasonable £1299, get your pre orders in!
Does look sweet but 500 quid more than the new 456 ti....
Ooops, i meant to type £1099!£1299
Si can you email me details gungun24 @ hotmail com
That is very nice Si, Send me the demo bike in large 🙂
ian, ygm.
Sam, show me the money! 😉
Si,
Ah money...Theres a problem. 🙄
what sizes does it come in?
Sizes are 16" Small, 17" Medium, 18" Large, 19" XL. The TT are quite long just to make you aware 🙂
I currently only have 4 of each size available and lots of interest in the 17 and 18" sizes.
That's really nice, I may have to get another lottery ticket!
Details now on my web site for the Ti Holeshot for anyone interested 🙂

Si
do you do the bike to work scheme?
Freeridenick, I don't do the scheme, at the moment anyways.
So Si, what sort of size would I be wanting if I were to have one of these then? I'm just over 5'10" and would want something for woodsy type riding, say 2-3 hours with more emphasis on playing than all day trail riding.
Hmmmmm.
Do you need it to be flickable?
I widh this thread would DIE.
I'd never use it enough and it would be a waste. I have more important things to spend money on.
It's just so pretty. AARRRGGGHH.
Think of the resale.
Turmoil TURMOIL I TELLS YA

Either the 17" or 18" depending on which TT length you prefer, though i think the 17" would be about right as they have pretty long top tubes.
Not just a ploy, but i don't have many of these frames left and the next batch may be a while off yet.
geetee, you'd want a 17. i, on the other hand, would like an 18. 🙁
teaser piccies of the 18" with the Hope semi-integrated cups installed...
its my 39th birthday next week and my major work project for the last four years (a new Academy) has just opened successfully, so a little treat was due in these crappy times...

build is going to take a while though, as CRC have messed me around on delivery of the 2011 revelation dual position air fork and **** knows when the reverb will be available (probably xmas time) so a thomson will be used instead
That is a beauty! Wish I hadn't seen it 😛
They look even nicer in the flesh!
Not many left now, 1 17", 1 18" and a couple of 16" and 19".
paul, if you need a fork let me know. I can get Fox, Rockshox and Thomson posts if needed 🙂
Managed to keep one for myself! Ideal winter bike 😉
Going to build it up next week. Will post some pics when I'm done.

Ti frames are great for winter, easy to clean.
[wipes drool away]
Here's the 16" for us shortarses

That small is perfectly formed 🙂 Trouble is my wife thought so too and was dropping a few hints.
I would like the mods to remove this thread! If it stays here much longer it may be responsible for a small crime spree!!
Very nice. Let us know how you guys are getting on with riding them?

@ Brant LOL! I know lionheart and i doubt very much he was behind my troubles! 🙂
Just a quick update, the next batch of Brodie Ti frame are ready for pre order. There will be the Ti Holeshot same as before and same price, yey! All Holeshot pre orders will get a FREE Hope 50mm semi integrated headset!
Cruzado, Brodie are going to adjust the HT< and TT length slightly. (Longer and slacker by a small margin) price £1099 same as Holeshot.
Rodie, The sample we tried was with BB30, and a weird seat binder. Production will be with a standard BB shell so Shimano cranks can be used. (Unless we hear from Shimano about a 2012 BB30 option on Monday).
Romax, 'Cross bike still to be decided - 130mm OLD for Cantis, 135mm OLD for discs, or 132.5mm OLD for both, your inputs appreciated?
ISCG?
I have asked the question, though i'm not sure it will make it on to the next batch if it all. I'll confirm tonight.
still needs some bits to finish

That's lovely, really lovely.
Nice! Can't wait to build mine up!
Si, any 16" frames left...?
Si, any 16" frames left...?
Afraid not, though i will ask Brodie as they may have one 16" available, otherwise its pre order for late jan delivery 🙂
OK, thanks. I'll mull it over, so late Jan is more realistic anyway. Are you expecting a rush on orders?
Here's mine, I've been injured and haven't given it a proper ride yet but from what I have been able to do, it feels great.

That's very nice.
I'm not expecting a mass rush of orders but there will only be a limited number of frames which i expect will sell before they even land in the uk such is the interest.
Anybody got a review/proper ride report on a Holeshot yet?
Romax, definately have the capacity for disc brakes... so 135mm or 132.5mm
Nice bike CP - can't wait to see it in the flesh...must get myself out this week!
Anybody got a review/proper ride report on a Holeshot yet?
Might struggle on here mate, i think i only sold 3 or 4 frames to stw'ers.
Pre order deadline for Jan delivery is in around 3 weeks so anyone thinking about a Ti Holeshot needs to be quickish 🙂
breaking news! Next batch of Ti Holeshots will have ISCG 05 tabs, woohoo! Also all pre orders will receive a FREE Hope semi imtegrated headset all for £1099, bargain 😉
Th terms of geometry, what are these frames like compared to an XC alu Cannonade frame? Is the Holeshot ok as an all day bike? What is it like for climbing? Is it more for 'playing'?
Geo is not so rad as unusable, 67.5 HA with a 140mm fork and a 23.5" TT on a medium (17") frame, add the spring of Ti and light weight (3.5LB for a medium) and it is perfectly fine for all day riding.
i'll take a 15" with a 22.6" ETT Pllllllllllllleeeeeaaaassssssssse 😉
onewheeltoofew: Here's mine, I've been injured and haven't given it a proper ride yet but from what I have been able to do, it feels great.
It does indeed, a quick play in the carpark left me wanting a proper ride on it, very impressive, and a lovely build too 😉
i'll take a 15" with a 22.6" ETT Pllllllllllllleeeeeaaaassssssssse
The 16" has just that size TT 🙂 want one?
The 16" has just that size TT want one?
i'll have to think about it. i got short arse legs (30") and it always looks like my seatposts dropped on anything bigger that 15.5"
vain i know - but true
currently on a 15.5" Handjob that fits like a glove but is a little dented
i'd have to see a built 16" first
snooze ya loose springs to mind with regard to actually obtaining one though!
onewheeltoofew aboves is a 16", maybe you could swing a leg over his if he is near you and doesn't mind?
updated build, now received the dual position revelations as last! and the hangers from canada, and swopped the ardent off the back for an eskar
a reverb will be tried out on it in the new year , the stinger is not so great and does move about a bit, so going to lash it to the chainstay with a tie wrap

woohoo, just got word the next batch is nearly ready!
Also, to any current owners, Brodie are sending over the frame sticker thingies if you would like one let me know!
Whenwhenwhenwhenwhen?
Frames should land in the UK late Feb, same price as before £1099 🙂
Any reviews of this frame?
What's the best lightweight 140mm forks for this thing?
What's the TT on the large?
Probably the only thing I'd change my Alpine for.
Who makes them- inhouse / Lynskey ?
