The Big Block was our first model, designed way back in 2008 and continuing virtually unchanged today. Well unchanged in geometry and tubeset anyway, there have been a number of small tweaks to the bike over the years that would allow one to distinguish one generation frameset from the next. As we're giant flipping nerds, having the information to tell them apart is the sort of thing that we find terribly exciting.
In prepping for our upcoming trip to Japan we knew we wanted to do some sort of special gift for our friends and dealers, so we hit up one of our sponsored riders, Koshi, to help guide Saisha in creating a unique cap that would both be generally awesome, as well as pay honor and respects to the Japanese culture.
Coming up in only a few weeks we are headed back to Japan to visit dealers, do a party in Tokyo (several local DJ's and our own Sir Jeffrey G. The Archduke of Dance will be spinning) and attend the Bikelore festival.
We've got big news for those of you who have had your eye on one of our cross beauties. The Nature Boy Disc and Macho Disc remaining inventory now has a super sweet new MSRP with $200 off the completes and $100 off the framesets.

All-City's Engineer Rachel has taken the time to put together some responses to the frequently asked questions.
