Glen uses a variety of tubing, selected for your needs. The type of tubing (brand, wall-thickness, profile, etc.) is determined by a number of factors, such as rider size, bike size, tube use, etc. After Glen determines the profile tube he wants, he goes after the best quality and value. About 90% of Elephant Bikes are built with a TrueTemper front triangle.
If you want a specific brand of tubing, let us know and we'll quote you a price. Expect to add about $200 to the cost of a frame.
We have a good relationship with a local powder coater that does great work. For no extra cost, you can choose from the following subset of the Cardinal Paint palette for your frame:
