Dreamride F-Series
~ full custom long travel for XC racing and all mountain
Dreamride F-Series bicycles are handmade from the ground up, custom fitted and balanced with tested parts for your specific body and intended use, designed to go farther faster with less energy. "F" designates "full custom full suspension." Handmade in America utilizing Dreamride's many years of product testing and development in Moab, Utah, the F-Series combines American manufactured construction and rear suspension design (Ventana) with two wheel sizes (26 and 20 inch wheels) and Dreamride's unique Moab-based philosophy of efficient handling and pedaling thatintegrates your riding needs into frame construction and component choices. The Fully is the best way to get the perfect bike for your trail needs and the F-69 is truly the best mountain bike we offer, far ahead of its time. F-Series bikes are designed to pedal over rough ground and react to every impulse. To see a Dreamride F-Series bike in action, click on CLIMBING THE ICE CREAM CAKE!

Dreamride F-69
~ the future is here!
This is the best mountain bike you can buy if you are over 5'7" tall and looking for performance over rough terrain that gives you an advantage. With the introduction of the Fox Talas 29 fork with 15mm front axle for the 2011 model year, the F-69 gets a front end that can more readily handle the bike's insane speed and obstacle abilities. Utilizing the distinct advantages of both 26 and 29 inch wheels in combination with the proven Ventana rear end, the F-69 accelerates like a 6er, rolls like a 9er and and handles like nothing before. Imagine a bike that doesn't blur you out at high speed over rough terrain. Imagine a bike that can roll over and out of a four foot drop without lifting the front wheel that can also turn on a dime. This is accomplished with the big front wheel and geometry that reflects five years of product testing and development of the 6-9 concept. See below for pricing, component details and frame options. We offer two versions, light and heavy duty. Click on F-69 TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT for performance evaluations gained from testing in Moab, Utah.
F-69 Bike/Frame Geometry: Custom top and seat tube lengths and diameters for each frame; Head tube angle = 70 degrees with fork set for 120mm travel, 71 degrees with fork set for 100mm travel; Seat tube angle = 72.5 at 120mm travel, 75.5 at 100mm fork travel; Bottom bracket height = 14 inches at 120mm travel, 13.5 at 100mm fork travel; Chainstay length = 17 inches.
$2375 ~ F-69 or F-26 frame-only in small, medium or large in stock colors--army green, white, black or blood red metallic. Fox RP-23 shock. Free Chris King headset.

The F-69 ClimbMAX and SuperEgo (see components listed directly below) comes with a 2011 Fox Talas 29 120mm fork with 15mm front axle and custom handbuilt 26/29 wheelset (Chris King hubs, DT spokes and Mavic or DT rims) capable of delivering solid performance at speed and over rough trail. 6 inches of plush rear wheel travel combine with 5 inches of front travel augmented by the unique qualities of the 29 inch wheel. The 6-9 combo takes advantage of both wheel sizes by putting the right size wheel in the place it works best. The front wheel rolls over trail rubble and obstacles of all kinds, smooths out high speed ripples and builds momemtum at speed. The 26 inch rear wheel is rigid, strong, accelerates with snap and keeps gear ratios where they should be, while the additional travel and ultra fat tire in the rear allows the back end of the bike to follow the big wheel's lead without problems. The Fully 69er can also come in the HD format for larger or more aggressive riders. See below for parts variations. Price includes build, hardshell flight packing case and shipment to your door (within the continental United States), unless stated otherwise. NO TAX OUT OF UTAH.

26er or 69er MRC (Moab Rental Clone) means options to delete the flight case, to substitute selected Moab-tested parts that have served us well within our rental fleet and/or substitute parts currently on sale and in stock in our shop. Substitutions include mid-range forks, saddles, hubs, and Shimano and SRAM components that offer similar operational performance when compared to the extreme upper level parts in grouppos above. The sole objective of MRC is to bring the price down without sacrificing strength or function. If you choose to delete the Serfas flight case, we subsitute a reuseable cardboard case with velcro closures and foam padding. Using all these subitutions, combined with deletion of the case, will bring the cost of a Fully26 to under $5000.
5" travel is recommended for riders under 5'5" tall. 5" travel frames include internally double butted front triangle and specific component choices designed for light weight. Bike weight hovers around 24.5 to 27 pounds with 5" travel Fullies, depending on tire choice and lower level component subsitutions. The Mutant HD build for taller, heavier, and more agressive riders may require an X-frame modification (additional $150) for strength.
"It is easy to see the attention to detail and no-compromise construction, and you may know about the time-tested parts combos that flow together like braided hair, but do you know how it happens or where the knowledge needed to complete the task comes from?
"I started tinkering with old cruisers at seven years of age in 1956. In the mid 70's I was still modifying Schwinn cruisers in the Bay Area of Northern California as folks actually started building "mountain bikes" from scratch and the thing caught on. Riding became more and more restricted, so I moved to Colorado to be next to technical singletrack of the Front Range and began working on mountain bike stunts for film, magazines and television. Dreamride began as a mountain bike film service in Moab in 1996, offering hardcore day tours, slickrock skills clinics and freeride demonstrations to the public on the side. See the mountain bike segment of the popular IMAX film, EVEREST for an example of my production and stunt co-ordination. Dreamride's activities routinely and inherently demonstrate flaws and advantages of various designs. As a direct result of our job, Dreamride bikes are about performance, safety, reliability, ease of maintenance and the highest quality--because they HAVE to be. A Dreamride bike looks like a million and a half bucks because it should. It out-performs because it must--because, being an older rider who guides for a living, I need a serious advantage. Anyone who rides with me knows there is something going on here."

A Beautiful Beast
A bike doesn't have to be pimped to perform, but Dreamride feels that the attention to beauty reflects a commitment to performance that is certainly much more than skin deep. Under the lush paint and anodizing are the highest quality components. Behind the parts and parts combinations is knowledge born of decades of experience.
A Testimonial:
"The bike is quick, incredibly balanced and drop dead gorgeous. I have been a titanium junky (Lightspeed) for years but I ain’t ever goin’ back. The Fully is sweet, tight and Oh so forgiving without being mushy or inaccurate; you point it and it goes where you want it to; you CAN thread the obstacles but if you want to go over them; go and it laughs out loud! (Or maybe that was me that was laughing). The weight was what I was the most worried about prior to my first ride but it is clear now that movement forward is impeded by vertical movement and the Fully so effectively mitigates the vertical that the small weight penalty is more than offset. This bike feels friggin’ light." ~ Mike Simmons, Taos, New Mexico

The Fully is based on 50 years of off-road riding experience and 10 years of product testing, design, fabrication and development on the rough terrain of Moab, Utah.
