Literally my thought process.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
That main pivot size, god damn.

Can't believe they haven't made a multi-tool for it, tbh.
Looks like they have used a BSA bottom bracket for it. It is laaaarrggee!

Word was Turner was trying to sell the brand off. Can’t imagine it’s worth a hell of a lot now.

It looks good colourwise, agreed that the decals on the chainstay should never have made it onto the final product. Same with the top tube decal.
The small decal on the downtube by the BB is fine too. A little subtlety (even on a bike like this) goes a long way.
As I've said before, it reminds me of older Pivot bikes with decals and stickers everywhere.

Yeah but when you're riding your bike and forget what it is, you can just look down (anywhere) and then you'll know what it is again. Thoughtful.
This is the other Dreadnaught colour. Less lair than the epic nerd one, more interesting than the stealth black one:
Still annoys me a little that they couldn't have just copied the Druid formula. Every single colour option for that bike looks amazing and unique without being borderline unicorn vomit.

Agreed. The Blue is acceptable, cerise is not bad either but the Druid colours are really well considered.

Even the top tube decals are awesome (just needs to straighten the headset before a photoshoot)

"Just as the Chisel rides a thin ribbon of dirt through the landscape, we are riding a thin line between a physical and digital reality in our daily lives–a line that is becoming increasingly blurred every day. As our natural world decays and our digital world continues to expand, we challenge you to question the relationship of the two with our latest Artist Series – Disrupt the Decay. We used the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water as inspiration to push against the digital world to create four unique, limited-edition Chisel frames that beg the question, “Where does one world end and the other begin?”"
What total pissed up chunt wrote that load of wank?

Hard disagree - they are a limited edition and with an art feel / reference - I think the marketing for the target market is pretty good - it’s not meant for mr burly steak and veg man - I quite like the frames too

Personally, that sort of wanky write up would put me off getting that frame. Seems like the sort of drivel written to appeal to people that like the concept of riding more than actually riding.

Then simply state they're a clash of digital and classic artforms, none of this “Where does one world end and the other begin?”. It ends when you stop looking at your fucking devices and go riding. Chunts.
