TrackFighter 700c trick frame

Here are the first pic's of our new TrackFighter 700c trick frame , wile the frame pictured is still technically a prototype this frame turned out exactly as we wanted straight off . I was a little worried about the BB to ground measurement but after checking the proto's against every after market 26" and 700c fork we could find, there was only .25" difference from the shortest to the tallest forks available on the market . For this reason we wont be offering this frame with a fork. This choice has stirred up some controversy on the web forums we encourage you the end customer to use the fork you feel works best for your riding style, you wont have any trouble with this frame .
In the future their might be a aftermarket fork offering from us here at Nemesis Project , I've been saying this for years now but hey Chris King finally released their BB so anything's possible right ?

Pricing - $900.00 frame only

This is a 100% TrueTemper OX platinum tubeset , built to Andy's very specific spec's
49cm seattube , 53cm Toptube
Features include : slightly taller headtube to allow for barspin clearence for the front wheel and more extension to the top side of the HT so you dant have to ran as many headset spacers .
Color : trans blue over chrome


Micro dropout's


Joni's bike
(frame pictured with 26" SE landing gear fork)
This is Joni's first fixed gear , Joni told me he wanted a bike that didnt look like you were supposed to be wearing Spandex to go ride it . So I built him a "lifestyle" bike you can still do trick on !
This is basically what will be come our Quicksilver production fixed gear frame.
Frame size is a 53cm
Features include : integrated headset , TrueTemper main tube set , dedacchai rear tube's , Nem-Pro rear micro drop's

The lost arm.

Everything has been very busy here lately at Nem-Pro HQ , please excuse the lack of blog post over the past few weeks .
We finally moved into the new Nemesis Project / KOWA factory offices in Downtown Sacramento ! It's a nice live work style loft located in a building owned by a architectural firm located next door to our offices.
During the first week I was staying there the alarm went off 3 times and there was a high speed police chase right outside my door. This from what I hear resulted in a lost arm due to his car flipping over wile he still had it out the window trying to look "gangsta " From the pic's you can see the cops had my entire block shut down for most of the night , right in front of my front door . It was entertaining to watch them do their best to clean up as I sat and ate my dinner . LAter that night after the cops took off I walked down the block and saw the trail of wreckage from were the cops flipped the guys car over into someone's front lawn.
Sorry no pic's of the arm I got home about 5 min after they cleaned that ish up and hauled lefty off to the clink.

KOWA - New machines production Nem-Pro Forks !

I received a few new toys from our friends over at KOWA the other day .

By now I guess it not a huge secret that I have been working with KOWA suspension from Osaka, Japan
For the past year I have been working on the development of a production dirt Jumping fork , similer to the tuned forks we were selling in the past . I wanted to make a few changes to the design we were working with wile also making the forks production . Custom tuning large 3's for forks isn't very cost effective so the logical manor of thinking was to have a fork produced to our spec . After talking with several suspension companies we came to a agreement with KOWA .
The fork you see pictured below is the first version of the KOWA / Nemesis Project production dirt jump fork .
Spec's
$599.99 suggested retail
480mm axle to crown
5.60lbs
CNC'd upper crown
36mm stanchion
Rebound damping
Coil spring
Design for dirt jumping on a MTB
The fork might look a little over built to todays standards , it's not a XC fork by any stretch of the mind .
We designed the crown and lowers to be strong , we didn't want to put our custom's or our team riders lives at risk by producing a product that was inferior or that would break if used for it's intended purpose .
So the chassis might be a little beefy and the fork is a little tall in the axle to crown area.
Considering this for a initial product release we are very pleased with the quality of this product and how it performs for DJ and street application on a freestyle or URBAN Mountain bike .
This will be available in limited # very shortly , please stay tuned to this blog for more updates .



I also received another cool machine from Mitsu at KOWA , Thank you Mitsu !!!!
Hmm wonder what this could be ?

Open the box - to find

A new KOWA spoke cutting and threading machine ... SWEET!!!!!!
