I couldn't find much information on this new frameset from RYD. All the information I had is what Sean Coats told me which included "strong / thick tubing and fits big tires". Then I remembered that RYD stood for Red Your Dead and I hopped over to their site. The Havoc frameset is now available for pre-orders. It's made from reinforced 4130, has a double gusseted top tube, 2" dropouts and uses an integrated headset. Complete weight comes in at 7 lbs and is available in a 53cm and 57cm size. The one pictured above has 26" wheels so I imagine 700c would have some pretty tight clearances.
Edit: Sean just emailed me and said they changed their official name to RYD Bikes. Makes sense. Thanks man!

Other Ian: Charles beat me to it. But I confirm, that's what it stands for.
At least without the explanation the name had a little ambiguity to it. Good move with the name change. It's not too drastic, but now it could stand for anything from "Ride Your Dick" or "Rowdy Yellow Dude".

I would hella get that if i wasnt getting the thrasher, the frame reminds me of a raw cutter

ryd is just about theee worst company
ive broken every part on the masher
spend the extra bit of money and get a thrasher or cutter or even a scissor is better
