Dan Coller Signature
Overview
The Kink Contender frame is Dan Coller’s signature model, designed to put a beating on and withstand the toughest riding month after month, day in and day out. Made from seamless 4130 Sanko chromoly tubing with double-butted toptube and downtube, plus gussets on both equal one formidable frame.
Not only that, the oval downtube for dent resistance and chainstay wishbone design means this frame is strong and durable and won’t go down without a fight.
Integrated chain tensioners allow you to center your wheel with ease and the casted knurling on the inner dropout keeps plastic hub guards in their place. Integrated seat clamp, removable brake mounts, and a championship belt inspired seatstay bridge are just a few more features not to overlook.
