So glad Michael got his frame finally, white glove delivered, right? I know, shipping at Gorilla still takes tooo long. But we are getting there, soon we have a shipping partner in Italy that makes things easier.
Nice build Michael, thank you for the picture.

what a wallride by WOnka at the end!!!!
Patrick is on his trip down under – you might have noticed: no more news on our blog. So I thought I might take over and show you how it looks in our office. Nothing really exciting, but I like the space.
And this is where the happy news arrived: I heard from George at LABrakeless that Sean dropped passed with his new Kilroy and was very excited about it. This is what Sean sent me. I love the build. Good job Sean. Thank you for the picture.
The Kilroys actually start to roll out slowly: the first 25 leave Italy in the next few days, another 40 are being painted and a last batch of 35 are being built. By mid February we receive new tubing and continue building more frames.
Thank you, the first riders, for your support and your patience.

KILROY from Gorilla Bicycles on Vimeo.
After slamming and breaking our prototypes in public and in front of cameras, we finally started production of the Kilroy frame. The tests that Wonka ran lead to the conclusion that we had to manufacture a tube set just for this frame, with particular reinforced parts to absorb and handle the stress of the jumps. Together with Columbus we decided to change the alloy in order to avoid very thick and heavy tubes and gain in strength nevertheless. We are proud to present the first freestyle frame in Niobium steel. The Columbus Niobium steel is a special micro alloyed steel with Manganese, Chrome, Nickel, Molybdenum and Niobium that is designed to provide superior mechanical properties
We went to Italy for the launch of the production and invited Wonka to join us and get involved into the process of creation. Thanks to Renaud Skyronka for filming this monumental happening.
better late than never
