2014 Colony Prody Limited Edition

Prody; n. [pr. proddy] 4130 chromoly, toptube platform, bonafide #BNEBMX local hero.

The Prody 20th Anniversary frame by Colony is essentially a tribute to the original Brisbane made Prody frame from 1993 designed by Clint Millar (founder of Colony BMX) and Michael Canfield. This limited edition of 100 sees the return of the iconic top tube platform while benefiting from modern geometry and contemporary features (ie. integrated headset, mid BB and integrated seat post clamp – scroll down more tech info and frame specs).

I feel so honoured to have one of these frames. AND, as a long time fan of the spy classic Get Smart and Barbara Feldon’s iconic portrayal of Agent 99, I’m super stoked to have scored frame #99/100! Those familiar with my M.O. will know that when I’m as excited as this about a frame it’ll never be a wall mounted trophy piece gathering dust in the name of posterity – I'll build the shizzle out of it then I'll ride the b’jeezus out of it. Life’s too short to not ride rad bikes!

Special features: mix of old school design with modern day geometry and features, made from 4130 chromoly tubing with a heat-treated integrated headtube drilled for gyro tabs, investment cast headtube gusset, integrated hydroformed downtube gusset, old school standing platform on the toptube, integrated seat clamp, heat-treated Mid BB shell with investment cast chainstay junction, tapered chainstays with investment cast bridge, tapered seatstays with fixed U-brake mounts, and 5mm thick heat-treated dropouts.
