BREAKING NEWS. The extremely highly anticipated Ruff Glimmer framesets are officially LIVE! I can confidently say that these are some of the highest quality frames I’ve had the pleasure of riding and both looks wise and geometry wise, you will not be disappointed.
With each frameset you get an option of either a black or chrome fork and the frames are available in 3 colorways: Dark Black (decals by Matt Spencer), Really Raw (decals by Corey San Agustin), and Gang Green (decals by Jackson Bradshaw). The decals on each colorway came out so great and if I wanted to buy one, I would personally have a very hard time choosing one.
Here’s what Ruff has to say about the Glimmer frames along with specs:
“You know when you have that ride: an epic adventure exploring a new city, a heavy session with a big crew, or maybe just a solo cruise in the neighborhood hitting curb cuts and your go-to spots? It’s the ride that completely consumes you and is both energizing and freeing. Maybe it disrupts something that you’re doing or thinking that isn’t settling, offers you an opportunity to catch up with someone you haven’t seen in a bit, prompts you take a different route and come across something new, or maybe just gives you some space to be in your head with your own thoughts and recharge.
All of these moments are essential parts of what draw us to pick up our bikes and keep pedaling. To us, a Glimmer is that moment when you recognize that you are present, focused, when the volume of everything else around you is silenced, and all that you are doing is riding your bike.
When you’re fully in it, that’s a Glimmer.
The frame and fork geometry was test ridden for three years and refined by Matt Spencer, Jackson Bradshaw, Chase Davis, Johnathan Ball, Chase Henley, and Jacob Ruff. We are really stoked to be able to share this bike! Both frame and fork are proudly made in Taiwan.”
