Added the new linkage and a few new parts to the Sinister Splinter. The new "super rod" linkage works great and is easy to adjust. The bike weighs in at 34 lbs.

This was one of the first, if not the first Hood Mussel made (welded in New Bedford, CT USA). These are my favorite dh frame, inspired by the tube chassis of Ducati motorcycles, and built to last forever. The color is Army fatigue tan, which I really like once got it cleaned up. The gussets...

I updated the build on my Risse bike. Its a few pounds lighter than previously and feels a lot faster. Specs: •Risse Racing Lassen prototype frame, steel 4130 front, cnc aluminum everything else, adjustable headangle, bottom bracket height, and wheelbase •Risse...

This has been one of my projects for the last couple months. It took me while to get all the right parts together to finally finish it, but it was well worth the wait. I needed a "all mountain, do it all" type bike for a while, something between my Trek Fuel and my full on dh bikes. When...

Here are some pictures of my Hood Mussel race bike. The frame is designed to take some serious abuse. Its made of 4130 steel and weighs around 16-17 lbs with shock. It was designed by Frank the Welder (FTW of Spooky and Sinister fame) and Jimmy Ponte (also former Spooky employee, welder...
