Why buy a Misfit Psycles diSSent?
Frame Details:
Insight -
The Misfit Psycles diSSent was designed and eventually came to light with the intention of NEVER riding a 29er.
Experience with first generation 29ers was laughable. Manufacturers simply elongated chainstays and stretched traditional forks to fit 'bigger' wheels. The result was a top-heavy, awkward tank of a beast.
Incidentally, too many manufactures still produce frames with 26" PLUS 3" type geometry.
While these initial frames failed miserably in overall ride, there was a little something.
The diSSent's unique geometry is the product of pub counter creativity, chalk outlines and numerous engineering re-writes. The diSSent was designed to provide you a 29er frame that you ride IN (not ON). We believe that the result is a frame that melds the best features of your olde 26er with the advantages of 29" wheels. Hopefully with out the traditional zelotry associated with big wheels.
Criteria -
Provided numerous design, ride and manufacturing benefits over 7005 and vastly better value then Scandium. It is (arguably) the most versatile of the alloys, offers excellent strength and elongation properties.
The diSSent has (over the years) been prototyped in 7005, Ti and was (briefly) considered in steel (see below).
Steel is Real -
True. This much should be obvious. Misfit Psycles has a standing policy NOT to produce products in imaginary materials.
Steel as a material choice FAILED in the first three criteria of the diSSent.
Low grade chromoly offers excessive amounts of flex, the way to counter this excessive flex is to over-compensate and over-design, adding to the frames weight penalty. Riders the prefer to 'mash' the pedals (typical singlespeeder by default) or heavier riders want to ensure that there is a direct to wheel power transfer. There is a notable loss with chromoly in the $400 range.
Still insisting on steel? Consider increasing your budget to the $700+ range.
Ride Quality -
Design OVER material. Period.
Selecting a frame base soley on material and a rhyme is ILLEGAL in many countries and carries a penalty of death.
At least it should.
Durability -
Yes.
Ovalized, oversized and un-butted tubes combined with aggressive gussets offer excellent strength and durability. Despite these factors the weight was maintained in the very respectable 4lb range.

*Everything - from a bits and pieces parts perspective. The Corporation regrets that they CANNOT provide you with the basic skills required for assembly, nor can they prevent you from doing something ridiculous during said assembly.
** Assembling - this is a kit, assembly is required. Wheels are laced, tensioned and trued by hand at Misfit Psycles. Bottom bracket and headset cups CAN be pressed if requested at no charge.

Steel is Real -
True. This much should be obvious. Misfit Psycles has a standing policy NOT to produce products in imaginary materials.
Steel as a material choice FAILED in the first three criteria of the diSSent.
- A steel frame that would retail for $400 would be generic chromoly.
- The frame would well exceed 6lb's.
- The rear chain stays would need to be bulky and monstrous to offer the kind of responsiveness desired, anything less was 'noodley'.
