Matty Cranmer is a bright young man, so it only makes sense that his bike is equally bright. Matty took a Tall Order 215 frame in his signature Matt Yellow colorway and laced it up with a bunch of copper, chrome, and even rainbow parts. Does it work? Well, he thinks it does.

How long have you been on this bike?
This beast was uncaged about four months ago!
What made you pick this frame color?
I love bright colors – especially yellow. Yellow tends to make people happier without even noticing and it’s about as positive as it gets. I support it!
Word on the street is you might have another frame in the works. Any details on that?
Having my first signature color was rad, but we’re talking about the next one already. I’ve got some ideas. Bright ideas… with a tad more flavor. Perhaps my own graphics? I’m not sure yet, but it’s going to be sick!
How often do you build up a new bike?
I feel like I aim to freshen it up about every six months, but it’s never an all new bike. I feel changing parts is a big confidence booster and gives me a little motivation to ride harder. New colors and a solid steed are indeed necessary!
What’s with all of the titanium? Are you pretty crazy about the weight on this thing?
I never cared about weight until as of recently when I realized that if I can shed some pounds, it’s one less pound I need to throw around and maybe one more foot of air I can get. I don’t know if the physics are correct on that, so don’t trust me!
How much PSI do you usually ride in your tires?
Precisely 76 PSI! Or at least 65. Maybe a tad lower than 80!
Any other special modifications to your bike?
Not really a special modification, but I like cutting my bars exactly to 27 inches. I asked a friend to cut this set of bars and he cut them a half-inch shorter. I assume that’s an accidental modification? I also have a titanium pivotal seatpost bolt, which has gotta benefit me somehow!
What’s the best thing about your bike?
My favorite thing about my bike is the color. I feel like it’s bright and so far off from what anyone else would have combined on their bikes. – whether it’s the copper rims or the rainbow spokes. It’s the fastest, brightest bike in the world!
