The Supernaut is our track bike. The Supernaut comes as a frame, fork and headset package.
Frame:
You won’t find our chainstays, seat stays, dropouts or headtubes on any other bike. The Supernaut makes other track frames look positively spindly, but it isn’t heavy. A 57 weighs just under 4.5lbs.
With a 1.5" Down tube and 7/8" stays, the Supernaut is probably the stiffest steel frame you can buy. It’s survived for years under Alfred Bobe, and that’s what we call Animal Testing.
If you’d love a Supernaut but need rear brakes, water-bottle mounts, regular headtube, or level top tube, we can certainly accommodate you. Just get in touch.
Other details:
We machine the headtube after welding, submerge the frame in a rust resistant finish before paint, and bond in an aluminum seat tube insert to protect your really nice seat post. All surfaces are machined. With a machine. The Supernaut is dialed.

We love Tonic Fabrication! All of us lust over the handmade beauties coming out of Portland, Oregon. But unlike most Portland builders Tonic doesn't have a waiting list a mile long. Their bikes are for here & now, where ever your here might be. Everything from Tonic Fabrication is hand made in house by the two man team Landon & Tony. And we mean everything, they custom bend the tubes & CNC machine the hardware allowing them to focus their time on the tech side of their frames as apposed to brazing fancy features. Because for us its the technical side of Tonics which really shines through; their attention to frame design and the little details such as their signature head tube stack, the use of BB30 in their cross models & the wishbone stays to name a few. And when all these features come together what you get is something unique, understated and very special.
Tonic - "I don’t know what to say about Tony and myself that doesn’t sound like a terrible cross between a job interview and a first date. I think it’s fair to say we haven’t accomplished much as bike riders, and sometimes laugh at things we shouldn’t. We believe in bikes, doing your own thing, and doing it well. Prior to starting Tonic in 2004, we’d spent most of our adult lives employed in bicycle manufacturing and design. In spite of ourselves, we’d managed to pick up a thing or two along the way. We believe this experience sets us apart."

This allows them the flexibility to construct some of the toughest, smoothest and most rugged frames we've seen in years. Tonic's background is ...

Providing riders with incredible precise, fast and efficient shifting, it's no wonder that electronic groupsets have become so popular. Electronic shifting offers a number of advantages over mechanical derailleur systems, but while ...
