As I type this the reality of the situation has not sunk in yet, Severed Alliance will be distributed in AMERICA by Zedsport.
These guys will distribute SA alongside brands such as Orange and Whyte..........Holy F*CK!
Zedsport will be show casing Severed at the Sea Otter so if any of you guys are there go take a look. These are few pics of the set up they had last year and gotta admit looks pro!
The 2hi frame
Ok so after reading a few comments on many forums, one of the comments stuck in my mind the most about the front end of our 24" frame being way too high and how stupid it looks, so we decided to call the our 24" frame the "2hi" frame, cheers for that who ever you are.
Tube sets
This made me well happy to see these and i wanted to share these pictures of what's probably the most high tec cromo tubing out on the market today. Each one of tubes is a down tube for an SA frame.

Heat Treatment Factory
Yesterday i went to the Liquid heat treatment factory, I been to a few heat treatment places in the past and basically they were a big room filled with hugh ovens and lots of parts were put into each oven and heated by air.
The liquid heat treatment place was nothing like these places but just a series of wells i have taken pictures to explain the process better as i think its important you guys see where SA products are made before parting with your hard earned money.
Ok, so here goes...
The 1st stage is to wash the products this is done by basically boiling the frames in water to remove anything left over from production.
The 2nd stage the products get dried by a air drier
The 3rd stage the products are placed into an open air oven which is heated to 850c and left in there for 15 minutes
The 4th stage is the liquid part the products are placed in a bath of nitrate which completely covers the whole products inside and out you can see by the color of the well inside its hot! 880c and is left in there for 2 hrs!
The 5th stage after the nitrate bath the products are placed in oil to remove any nitrate as its extremely corrosive and also it helps with cooloing
The 6th stage the products are placed into another boiling water bath and shaken, this is to remove any oil or nitrate still left
The 7th stage the products are washed again by hand to make 100% sure there are no foreign bodies left and then taken away to another factory for painting.
Yes it was HOT in there.

3am in the morning in Taiwan
OK so there nothing much on TV on Taiwan at 3am in the morning over here, so id thought id let you guys know what i have been up to this week so far.
The Taipei cycle show is hugh! This is just a small section of the show that i managed to take a picture of from an escalator between floors in attempt to show the scale of the place
My first stop was to see my stem maker has he had with him my pre production stem and i have been itching to get my hands on it for a while now and it is looking amazing!
My second stop was at this stand, words cannot describe this companies routes in the bicycle world, their 100 years plus of dedication to quality is what has made so many things possible today
This was right outside my hotel front door, you would not believe how happy this made me as it meant i could eat this week, ha
Next i go to Taichung in Taiwan were all the factories are based that make SA products to inspect production of the first ever SA products, expect a few pictures of whats going on.
