Their FB page seems to suggest that they are going to be 27.5, anybody know any more?
Do they still have the gastly mesh bit on the headtube. Plus epic fail with the seatube split being on the wrong side its much better located at the front.
Waiting to hear too. I wonder will a dropout conversion kit be available for current Shans.

Hope so, its a nice design touch

Hardly 'epic fail' grease the bolt and post properly and it shouldn't ever be an issue
Only 2 reasons to buy a shan and I don't see either!
(Orange and blue...(The gulf colour scheme is just about the best looking bike I've ever seen.)

101 ways arround that (dribble candlewax over it being the neatest), and I'm not convinced it actualy makes much difference, drill a hole in the BB and there's nowhere for it to collect anyway.
And dribble candlewax over the exposed head tube? Dumb dumb idea even if it was just to be a little different.

I like it, hopefully they'll do the Gulf Oil colours again too.
Brant that makes for some interesting reading if you let Google translate it!
Good ol' Google Translate..
Are they referring to Cedric in that last sentence above the pic

Still love it and still want one. Too expensive by far though.
That would be my perfect hardtail if they had a threaded BB.

Too short in the TT. Chromoly for 500 quid? 5.7lb frame weight and built like a brick shit house so probably as unforgiving as an alu frame even if the material does actually make a difference. Yay.
Tom, to short in the TT med/lrg are average and the XL is huge 635mm there's not many frames coming in that long with a 19in seat tube
Hardtails of this sort lengthen reach dimension 15-20mm when you sit on them, as the forks compress. So you can't compare static reach with an FS frame.
