Mam przyjemnosc przedstawic pierwsza, 100% chilijska oraz 100% zrobiona na miare rame downhill i extreme freeride.
Rama byla zainspirowana najbardziej szalonymi i extremalnymi akcjami downhill. Wykonalismy ja uzywajac specjalnego stopu metali ( celowo nie uzylismy aluminium, poniewaz chcielismy stworzyc "czolg" na dwoch kolach )by uzyskac najmocniejsza rame, jaka kiedykolwiek powstala.

Tekst przetlumaczony przez moja polska dziewczyne. Bede wdzieczny jesli komentarze beda po angielsku.

Looks very much as sth called majin. Also from Chille. Is it the same? Can you give us the geo spec?(bb height, Cs, wheelbase, HA) With which size shock the frame works best? Any future plans for 7-8'' frame? What's the pricing on it?

Tak!! In fact... Norland is the export brand for Majin.
I'm Friend of Gustavo Contreras, The creator of Majin, and some day I came to his house with the idea to create an export version, with better features and to fit with the european market standards. As Industrial designers I added some design concepts and ideas to the original frames. Then was born Norland, that is much refinated than Majin, as sell in chilean market.
One example of this. Majin has only one size. Norland size is taylor made as our customer needs. We begin the construction of our frames with the anthropometric measures of our customers.
And YES! Majin frames have been successfuly race proven, and even by freeriders in chile doing really sick freeride action

I do! and to all Europe! hahaha... By Contacting me, the customer gave me his anthropometrical measures and the bike model he wants, also the customer can choose the powdercoat color and particular details to customize the bike as most as is possible, like the head/direction tube angle, the option to choose 150 x 12 thru axle, 135 x 12 thru axle, horizontal or vertical standard dropouts, customized decals/graphics, chainguide adapters, v-brake pivots, etc.
I give all the Information to Gustavo, the man who make the frames, and in 1 month the frame is ready. Then we pack it and send it via certified post to the door of ur House, process that takes in excess 1 week.
We work in the 60/40 payment sistem.
60% of the whole price when U order, 40% when frame is in ur hands.
the launching cost for Europe for "The Mother Hucker" is 800 € (2800 zł app)
