How about some Turner bike bling!

We just finished up this super sweet Turner Flux for our good buddy Dr. Mike.

This 2011 medium Turner Flux started as their "Expert kit," an XT level bike. We made a few changes along the way.

The new Dynasys 10 speed Shimano drivetrain is smooth and good looking as ever.

We upgraded the bars to carbon Race Face Next bars. Also note those pimpin' brakes...

Even though the kit came with Formula RX brakes (which we love) we decided up upgrade to our favorite brake ever, the Formula The One. Even though it's technically a dh oriented brake, it's still lighter than a Magura Marta SL and has more stopping power than anything we've ever used. Win! That's not your everyday rear hub there, either. Powertap SL+ disc baby!
We used one of our favorite front hubs to round out these handbuilt wheels with Mavic 819 hoops. The DT Swiss 240. Even though it's a qr front end, we spec'd it with the 20mm version of the hub. That will allow Mike to run whatever fork he wants down the road. These hubs are easily convertible to 15qr or 20mm.

All done, it's about 26.5 lbs as pictured with the powertap rear hub and no pedals. This Flux will be a great all around, racy, do everything kind of bike. Thanks Mike, hope you love it as much as we do!

bikes time

I've been neglecting to put up some bikes we've done recently. Enjoy.

Mike's Turner RFX turned out great. It was the perfect build for a big travel all arounder mountain bike.

XC bikes don't get to be much sweeter than Andy's full XTR Turner Flux.

Pam's small Turner 5 Spot was a fun one. I wanted to take it to the dirt jumps when I was done building it. Compared to my large, it rode like a bmx bike.

And talk about mac daddy. Rich's Intense 6.6 Slopestyle turned out crazy good beyond all belief. I really liked the blue bits, down to the Goodridge brake hose and the Nokon cable housing.

Flux Time

It's been a while since we've put together a Turner Flux. Lots of Intenses and Turner Spots and Sultans but the Flux hasn't been in the limelight so much lately. Too bad, because the Flux is as fine of a 4" travel machine that you can get. This fully pimped large Flux weight 26.12 lbs with big ol' tires and pedals. Pretty darn sweet. Let this 4" travel beauty saturate your senses.

The Flux in full dress.

Lots of Xs in this pic
more Xs. Carbon, too. mmmmmm.

XTR brakes front and rear. Tell me those XTR rotors aren't beautiful, too.

DT 240 centerlock discs that we laced up to DT 4.2d rims. Very nice


Beautiful machine work and welding.



More machinework. Functional and weight saving, but this baby is still very laterally stiff in the rear.


Another example of Turner's ample mud clearance. Those are 2.35 Nevegals on there, too.

Flux teasers

Just a few teaser pics of Fred's new '06 orange anno Turner Flux. It's going to be sweet.
