CLEARANCE: Schroedinger’s Folding Frames

Now 23% off, while supplies last (5 frames only).

Inspired by famed physicist Erwin Schroedinger, who described a thought experiment about a hypothetical cat that was both alive and dead at the same time, these folding frames are both new and used at the same time—and yet, they’re very real.

During the peak of COVID, when we had no inventory coming in and customers still wanting bikes in sizes we didn’t have, we routinely converted bikes from one size to another, moving all components as needed across frames and adding our own forks. This now leaves us with five folding bike frames that have never left a bike shop, yet have already been on (and off) a bike.

How can you recognize a Schroedinger’s Frame? Look very closely at the seat tube, and you’ll see a compression mark in the paint where a front derailleur used to be. If you’re adding another front derailleur (specifically a triple), you’ll cover it up and never notice. But if you’re building a 1 X setup, that mark will be the first blemish on the bike that you later take out in the rocks, mud, dirt, sand, etc.

In some cases, the headset or bottom bracket may already be installed. Or, if you just want us to do it, there you go. Done.

But because of that small blemish, we are discounting these frames $200 off the standard CHANGE 833 frames that have all the same accessories. 

These are mostly in pine green.
