*  Design philosophy, general insight and other propaganda into the frame that isn't what you expect.

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 -

• $400 SRP
• Stiff (responsive rear)
• Under 5lb
• Stable
• Limited 26 to 29 learning curve

6061 Aluminum -
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. 

• 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'.

The 'compliance' to which is often referred of steel is in actual fact FLEX. 
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.
