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 frame feels solid as a rock. Once you ride it, you start to gain trust in it. It is also loaded with weight saving features other then the holes. It feels a lot like my S3, only lighter. Unreal. The only thing I would do different, is offer the frame with a brakeless option.

I think this is a great frame,I love the look of it, the weight, the height, and something that i thought was really cool was that they don't put stickers on it. I know thats not a really big deal but someting that i thought was real cool. That was no 2 frames are alike, and you can put stickers wherever you want. Everybody has been giving me crap about the frame, they seem to think that the headtube is going to snap off, But i have had no problems with it. I dropped 16 feet off a building to flat concrete, blew out both my tires. But noting wrong with my frame. So i would say that strengh is not a problem with this frame at all. Although the one thing i would have changed would be the thickness of the tubing, I would have sacrificed some weight for slightly thicker tubing, especially in the Chainstay and Seatstay. But thats just personal preference.

I JUST HAD TO SAY SOMETHING, BECAUSE OF ALL THE POSITIVE THINGS WRITTEN ABOUT THIS FRAME. IF YOU KIDS ARE SO DESPERATE IN SHAVING WEIGHT THAT SACRIFICE DURABILITY FOR HIGHER BUNNY HOPS,STOP BIKING THERE PUSHING THE ENVELOPE TO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!WAIT THATS NOT ALL I HAVE TO SHARE ABOUT THIS SWISS CHEESE LOOKING FRAME, NOT ONLY DID THEY MAKE A TERRIBLE FRAME THEY MADE IT WORST BY MAKING IT INTO A TITANIUM FRAME, THE WAY I LOOK AT THAT THOUGH IS THAT THAT DIDNT BREAK ENOUGH NECKS WITH THE FIRST GRIM REAPER SO THE MADE IT TITANIUM CANT YOU KIDS SEE THAT IT S A CONSPIRACY

Ok i broke this frame (I was airing a hip 7 feet and cased it causing the head tube to snap off) after a years worth of riding i am a normal size guy to i weigh 130 and i am 5'11\"
But other than the fact that i broke it i thought it was the greatest frame in the world it never flexed once it was light and it looked cool
So trust me on this if you are thinking about buying this frame then buy it is perfect
And no i did not break my neck when i broke it like everone says -

I've had the frame for about 4 months. Im 6'4\", 215lbs...granted I ride mostly trails, but I've cased some shit pretty good and had zero problems with the frame. The rear end of the frame is a pretty tight fit for a profile casette hub, other than that, it's been perfect.

this frame is amazing! i just wouldnt recomend it for dirt. all you guys saying that its breaking on jumps, why are you even going off jumps with it? you should have a stronger frame if you want to be doing jumps. i personally have two bikes, one for dirt and one for street

This frame is very easy to throw around. I like the original look it has also. However, it ought to be noted, this bike cannot take a beating like some other frames can.
Even so, the strength to weight ratio (not to mention the weight to cost ratio) is supurb. They had some initial QC issues with the first batch or so, but those were all replaced with second batch products.
Great company to deal with also, very friendly to shops. -

I've been riding this frame for about 4 months now, and I like it alright. It's deffinately light, and strong. I've seen people break them, but it doesn't worry me at all. I think the cable stops on the 07 model are stupid, and make dual cables work like shit. You can't run a london mod. But, I'm brakeless for the moment (till I get my new frame). Overall it's light, and strong... it looks crazy, and it's a bitch to paint. Good frame.

I just got this frame used from one of my friends. He rides pretty hard and i was a little worried in the beggining. I set it up and got it all dialed in and it fuckin flys. All I mostly ride is dirt!!! Its a trail slayer.TRAIL SLAYER. THe low slung seat tube makes nose picking and spinning. Great bike. Worth the money get it now!!!!

had this frame for awhile now and its pretty sweet. i dont believe when people say they snapped the frame or they snapped two. thats just bullshit. whatd you do? take a fuckin axe to it? headtube snapping off is probably just a freak accident with a faulty frame. if you're thinking about gettiing this frame then think twice and get it. you couldnt really get much happier with this frame.

I got a buddy that snapped the titanium one but he rides the chromoly one now and it has held up. He throws flairs alot and somtimes lands low(how I think he snapped the titaniumone) but hasn't seemed to snap it at all. I think the chromoly version is sick, the titianium has some flex issues they need to work out.

This is a update from my last post about the frame. I broke mine a week or so ago, cracked the weld on my peg side drop out. Even tho it broke i don't hold it against the frame, i had mine for over a year. I took it to Woodward west, local parks,trails, and i rode alot of street on it. Just cuz a frame snaps doesnt make it a piece of shit. No frame can last forever, and if it does you dont ride hard enough. I rode the shit out of my frame everyday and it held up for over a year. The bad is that it does tend to have quite a bit of flex after awhile and it dents easily, but what can you expect from a frame that weighs in at 4 pounds? As for the warranty, its a lifetime. I sent mine in and they were reeally nice about giving me all the details and are good at getting back to you. I think this is a great frame for a smooth rider who is smart enough to know that this isnt a tank of frame.
