Evil Undead

[IH8Rice]

I would assume that evil will be having their frames (key point here, plural) manufactured at the same place as santa cruz, even though it is china, there can't be too many places ready to build high end carbon dh frames

hopefully so. SC's carbon bikes are beautiful and their V10C seems overbuilt (at least according to them)

I thought essentially all carbon production was done in taiwan, and using "best in the industry" was moot since almost everybody did it there. It's fine if they want to release that frame, I wouldn't buy one and I would wager a lot of revolt owners would be in the same boat.

I hope they can make a recovery, but in what was (kind of still is) a tight-nit community, paying attention to your customers' needs should be job 1.

from what SC told me and someone else, they get theirs done in China

[Sandwich]

maybe i'm wrong then...but the location for carbon was pretty much universal, from my understanding. I have no doubts about the quality of the carbon work, regardless...design, customer service, availability, those i might concern myself with.

I heard it was half dead and this guy finished him!

its generally Taiwan for high-quality aluminium alloy frames

and generally China for high-quality carbon fibre frames

Giant have their CF facility in China, and their premium aluminium facility in Taiwan, for example


some of the aluminium alloy bicycle frames are made in China, Vietnam (Norco have some hardtail frames made there) or Malaysia

I can name about 8 in China. I get e-mails from them 2 times a month wanting me to buy their catalog Road and MTB frames. Same from Taiwan. Very nice stuff. It only takes about $60K to have your own Mold made to produce your very own frame over there in carbon. By the way you need a mold for each size frame too.

I have been more than happy with my revolt and once the undeads arrive if prices for upgrading warranty frames are good i'll step into a undead.

like i said before, i hope you are only paying the difference b/w the aluminum and the carbon and not the cost of the carbon one.

The price will be the big factor in what I do about my warranty issues. I've been waiting since September and have already shelled out $$$ for a new frame.

I'm honestly surprised by the lack of public communications Evil has put out regarding this. I'm betting people would be more understanding if they made some sort of public announcement.

We all know though that any communication to these forums is flame bait. Im surprised DW posts here. The dude has helped the bike community soo much and still gets **** talked.

I was thinking more along the lines of something on there website.

SKC would be the guy to ask about that, he seems the most intouch with what's happening.
