Tuesday, January 8th, 2008
Corsair has got some new shots up of three of their bikes, the Konig, Ducat, and the Malestrom. The Ducat and the Konig should be available soon. The Konig and Ducat will be out during the first part of February. The Maelstrom, Crown and Marque will be the first part of April .
The Corsair Four Star pedals are looking pretty nice as well. Low profile and ample pins in the right place. It uses an outer bearing, inner bushing and weigh in at 228g per pedal.

Those new pedals look very similar to the new Kona Wah Wah. Having a couple of months on the Wah Wahs now I can say they are a very sweet pedal shape with ample grip so these will no doubt be very nice too.

The Maelstrom is the sexiest bike ever.

looking closely at the Maelstrom, does the headtube use pinchbolts to hold the headset cups in place?

Yea, you can click on the picture(s) and see them in 3200px. Both the Konig and the Malestrom have the pinchbolts to secure the headset cups in there.
You can adjust them between 3degrees (opt). Also there is a Maxle dropout option if ya missed it.

The frames ship with a standard (zero degree) headset. One degree headsets will be available that allow you to run one degree slacker or steeper than normal if you like to fiddle. Both headsets press easily into the frame and are held tight by the pinchbolts.
