A beautiful Traitor ready for some Streetfighting

The internet is a magical thing. You start off hoping to learn about one thing, yet wind up discovering something new and way better than what you had been looking for in the first place. Today, that find for me was TRAITOR CYCLES and their prototype they are calling the STREETFIGHTER.  Like the Giant FMX this bike has its roots equally planted in bmx and fixed gear. We're giong to have to wait a bit for this one though as production isn't slated to being until March 2010.  While you're on the site, take the time to check out some of their other bikes, including a special edition Pabst Blue Ribbon Fixed Gear.

The Streetfighter is our aggresive urban fixed gear/singlespeed. Based on the 650B wheel size, we have nick named it our 650BMX bike. Not designed to be a pure freestyle bike, it is simply a bomber bike that you can thrash on, pull tricks and commute all over town. We threw on a front disc brake with cable routing through the steer tube for those that want a brake and still want to bar spin.

The Streetfighter features larger diameter butted 4130 chromoly tubes that add a ton of strength and stiffness. Our custom 6mm thick laser cut dropouts are beefy and grippy to hold onto axle nuts. The frame is finished off with a fully integrated headset similar to BMX bikes and our custom fork that is super burly.

For production we are looking at offering two styles of Streetfighter frames. One with a dual front and rear disc meant to run a freewheel and one without any brake mounts front and rear for fixed gear riders.
