Eastern Bikes Grim Reaper

INFO:
The revolutionary Grim Reaper is refined and ready for action. this frame is engineered to save you weight while retaining the strength you need. Eastern cut out places in the frame where strength is not an issue. The Grim Reaper has an integrated seat clamp with a titanium bolt. Removable gyro tabs and an internal headset are included. Eastern has also added some plastic inserts for those worried about getting dirt in the frame.

The downtube is special butted tubing that we had made especially for the Grim Reaper. The down is thicker at the headtube which makes an internal gusset and adds strength. As always our frames have a lifetime warranty. We take pride in out innovation and quality.

    THIS PRODUCT IS OK- HOWEVER I NO LONGER RIDE AN EASTERN ASESINO!!!! S&M TONY CARDONA IS ON LINE WITH A 21' TT AND THIS BAD BOY IS SO STABLE. I COULDN'T FIND THE CARDONA ON THE LIST SO I'M DOING IT RIGHT HERE. EVERYTHING ABOUT THE BIKE SCREAMS QUALITY WORKMANSHIP. I'M TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING THE GUSSETS, THE WHOLE REAR TRIANGLE IS A PIECE OF RIDING ART! BEAUTIFUL AND WOW THE RIDE IS PERFECT. STABLE ON BIG GAPS AND IT SPINS THREES FOR MILES WITH THE SHORT REAR END. THANKS TO MR. ZAPATA AT S&M FOR CONVERTING ME.

    OK heres the down and dirty on this frame. i've got an 08 Asesino. Virtually the same frame. I ride big trails, park and almost no street. I ride daily and usually several hours per session. It hasn't broken. At times I can't believe it because I'll break several spokes in a session or my old Eastern Forks which cracked at the crown. By the way the forks they warrantied with Hawk Eyes-Nice. Solid products. I haven't been disappointed at all. Check my profile videos 801 trails and it'll say all you want to know. Great Geometry.

    So i hear a bunch of people calling this frame shitty. I have been running the frame for about 4 months, riding almost all heavy street(with the occaisonal park) and i havent had any problems. So i'd say 4 stars. My only problem is that i dont like where the seatclamp is, because i cant run a super stump post. Other then that i like the frame

    The geometry is awsome, the rear length is great, low profile feel is great but I cracked the weld where the dropout and seat stay meet together in about 4 months of hard street and riding. I think I won't have a problem with the next one if I keep the pegs off.

    I have the Grim Reaper 1 and loaned it to a friend and he broke the frame but that dude brakes everything and we all know people like that .....i know there was some problems with the first ones that came & am sure eastern has got the feed back from that to make a better frame. Now am sending the frame back and eastern is sending me the new one. Bottom line cant make every one happy but i love the frame.

    ok, how can i bike be too light? thats like saying a car is too fast. if this four pound frame is too light than your fatass needs to get a different frame. i ride an aluminum race frame. its strong as hell and weighs like 3lbs. this bike is A LOT better than most of you are making it out to be.
