Gila
Single Speed optimized, but not SS exclusive! Yes, it has an awesome slider with 25mm of fore/aft travel to run your single speed addiction in style. There are stealth cable routing points for a rear derailleur and the slider is compatible with any Universal Derailleur Hanger or T-type rear derailleur so you can convert any time you need to start shifting. For the style obsessed, we ship it with a custom machined UDH without the derailleur 'hanger' tab, which looks super clean for those of us with S.S. OCD.
The GILA was designed to be a SS PR machine. Because of the amount of standing we all do on a SS, the seat angle is a bit steeper than it's sister the Nitrous... which makes getting out of the saddle quickly a little easier when trying to keep on top of the gear.

Features
CUSTOM SHAPED TITANIUM TUBESET
Subtle shaping at the lower end of the Down Tube to the spread load over the BB shell and a dramatically flared Seat Tube both increase lateral rigidity for better feel when smashing the pedals. Along with the custom tapered chainstays, these subtle features set the Turner Ti ahead of the pack when it comes to ride tuning.
DESIGNED IN THE USA
Every aspect of this Turner Ti frame is designed and engineered in the USA. From the gorgeous CNC tapered head tubes to the proprietary slider dropouts, we have designed every aspect of the frame.
As you probably figured out from the great price and long list of standard features, this frame is imported. We found this factory when we were producing the carbon Flux frames years ago. Soon after we started developing the first Ti Cyclosys with them. Our frames are not the first or the only Ti bicycle frames they build, as they are a factory long known for building world-class titanium mountain and road frames. What drew us to this factory was their ability to taper and create butted titanium tubing, and their massive CNC capabilities allowing us to create exactly what we wanted with out cookie cutter head tubes, bottom brackets and dropouts. Even our chainstay bridge is CNC out of billet to be super thin and not create a mud shelf!
T47 BB
‘T’ stands for threaded! Due to popular demand threads are back, and the new T47 offers bigger bearings & longer service life than older threaded standards. It will easily fit the larger and 30mm aluminum spindle creating a stiffer crank assembly, which is up to 18% lighter than the traditional steel spindle system.

Recently built this frame up and loving it. I have been wanting a ti SS frame for awhile now and finally found what I was looking for. Love the geometry and feel of this frame. Modern enough geo that still gives confidence in the rough stuff but can carve and climb with precision. Finally have my forever bike. Also want to say Dave is the best and was very helpful during my build. He responded quickly to all my questions and offered great advice. Best customer service ever. If you are thinking about this frame, pull the trigger. You won’t be disappointed!
Gila
The turner Gila is probably my favorite bike I’ve ever owned. I’ve been riding it for about 4 months now. It soaks up chunk like no hardtail I’ve been on. I’m in my sixties now so I need a bike that’s forgiving. The ti handlebar is surprisingly supple. My wrists are happy. The steeper seat stay makes it easy getting up and down off the saddle. I’m mostly a single speeder but it’s super easy to change it over to eagle axs when I’m coaching NICA kids. This bike has rejuvenated me. I’m climbing and descending like in my younger days. Love it.
This bike is just right as a single speed, and I'm convinced that it would also be outstanding if it were geared. I'm not just gushing because it's a new bike, it really is phenomenal! The power transfer is dialed in, the lack of weight is a recurring surprise, and there are no weird sounds from the frame. I would describe the ride as compliant, not harsh. The maneuverability through its geometry fits the riding needs of anyone wanting to enjoy the trail. Plus it just looks so clean!
The Gila is perfect for it's intended purposes, plus quite a bit more! As a single speed, this bike is just right, (and it would also be great geared). I'm not just gushing because it's a new bike, it really is phenomenal. The power transfer is dialed in, the lack of weight is a recurring surprise, and it rode more supple than harsh. The maneuverability through its geometry fits the riding needs of...forever.
