Product highlight – Miner Frame
Zac Miner is the man. Pure & simple. Such a down to earth guy & amazing rider to boot. It’s for good reason he has had a signature frame now for 2 seasons with us & it’s one of our more popular frames out there. You can get his frame in 2 sizes – 20.75″ & 21″ which is what Zac rides himself. You can also pick up some very limited edition frame, fork, stem & headset kits too. Click here to check out the Miner frame in more detail.
