Unexpected Second Wave Review!
You live and learn, but good stuff will always comes out of bad. Enjoy this frame review....
I happened to stumble into Revolution Cycles in Seattle a few months ago looking to put my old setup on consignment for a new frame and some parts. The owner told me he had a Sunday complete he was building up for a floor model in the shop. Well, not really looking for a complete I reluctantly said " sure, I'll take a look at it." I walked in the back and saw a wave 2 model in GRAY!! Rad color! I was pretty shocked since the Wave 2 wasn't even available yet. So he said "pick it up!" I did and to my amazement it was light, really light. 22.5lbs with no TI and no ridiculous, mega machined parts, holes or slots in the frame. I was really impressed! So much so that I told the owner of the shop that I would trade my other complete (a built up Stricker... $1500.00 worth) and give him the difference in cash. Needless to say he went for it.
On to the review, the frame as I stated earlier is light. Its got all the bells and whistles that one would expect in a frame of this calliber. The built-in tensioners were an added suprise as well. The fit and finish of this bike is IMMACULATE!! Perfect welds, paint, and decals. The decals are super simplistic which is right up my alley! Great choice of color! I have had absolutely no problems with it. The minor adjustments Sunday did to this frame are a perfect example of how bike companies such as Sunday are pushing the envelope for our sport. EXCELLENT JOB JIM!! Wouldn't change ANYTHING on this frame... tight all around. I've been riding for 8 or 9 years now and have always had the mindset that I would NEVER buy the same frame twice. I've had a frame from almost everyone, but I think i'll stick with SUNDAY for a while. Well until someone makes a frame out of diamonds and leather anyway! HA HA. When this frame comes out.... EAT IT UP KIDS!! You won't be sorry! Gaurenteed! Thanks again Jim for continuing to contribute great things to our sport.

Well... who's was it ?
what the heck? How did he get that?
I want one...lol Can't wait till they come out!!! But I hope that guy knows his back tire is on backwords...
I am confused. What is "bad" in this situation?
Is that Hooders? Is that why hes not on the team anymore?
luckyyy
wow looks really nice, he could make it like under 20 pounds if he got light bars back tire and 25x9 gearing.
he is lucky to have a bike that is not out yet.
I want the frame bars and forks and front rim

When I first saw Savage's Second Wave frame, the first thing I noticed was how good the welding is. Great workmanship. I can't wait for mine to arrive.
I recently cracked my 2007 FBM Stairmaster so I am really interested in the Second Wave Frame but to speed things up for me, is it possible to cut off the pivotal adaptor on the Ian Schwartz frame and install a regular seat clamp ? The inner diameter from the seat tube is the same as the second wave right ? I love all the new features, ecpesially the dropouts pointing downwards and being in line with the rear end tubing. great work, I hope for the future not to worry anymore about cracks at the headtube with this High End product.
you will be able to cut off the pivotal piece and modify the seat tube a bit so you can run a seat post clamp. it won't be that much of a problem. When I received the photos I was blown away at how good it looked. I haven't seen any of the guys with the gray, so it was refreshing to see it.
Jim. We're getting a million backorders for these things. Tell people they better get ahold of their local shop and get backorders in asap. We anticipate a quick sellout of the 1st batch. Can't wait!!!!

I have 1-1/2 bikes. Im still in the process putting my 2nd bike together and now I want to get my hands on the 2.1 forks and the new 08 frams. I just LOVE the new SUNDAY PROD.

is the 08' going to have the same geometry as the wave 1? 74.5 head tube angle or 75? that and whens this sexy beast commin out? and do you have an estimated price?
Where did they get that frame/fork/bar combo?
