The Boyd Cycling B930 frame returns to the lineup for 2011. Used by the Globalbike Elite team in 2010, the B930 was ridden to more victories in the Southeast than any other frame. Using a high quality T800 carbon fiber this frame also has smooth inner walls. This will create a lighter stiffer frame.
For 2011, the frame will be a sleek black and white color scheme. It will also have a matt finish instead of a glossy clearcoat. A BB30 bottom bracket ensures that no matter how much power you put to the pedals, the frame will transfer that directly to your rear wheel. For Shimano (or people who already have a crankset) users, a FSA BB30 adapter can be provided with the frame.
The fork steertube is also a tapered design. With this you can directly feel the front end of the bike stiffen up when you stand out of the saddle. For sprints and climbing, you do not want a bike to have a flexy front end.
The other major change from 2010 is that this frame is now offered with an Integrated Seatpost (ISP). The ISP design lightens the bike a little bit, removes any possibility of a seatpost slipping if hitting a pothole, and ensures that your seat height is never a question. Also, because of the larger tube running all the way up the frame to the saddle, road vibration will slightly dampen giving you a more enjoyable ride. And don't worry, I know it can be a little scary to take a saw to your new frame, but the benefits speak for themselves. There is still a good amount of vertical adjustment that can be performed with the seatmast cap, and the tubing that you cut can even be used to make spacers. We will post a video about the proper way to cut down an ISP frame to size.
