The Trust Performance Message linkage fork was an expensive, extravagant, and flawed attempt to change how we think about mountain bike design. The brand ceased operations in the early days of the pandemic, but Travis had high hopes for Trust. He also still has the Message fork he reviewed in 2019. A recent bikepacking trip inspired him to give it a second life with some new bolts, washers, and tiny, tiny bearings.

For MADE 2024 Old Man Mountain turned to its local landscape for inspiration. Central Oregon is home to the Painted Hills, a stunning geologic feature made of mineral rich soils compacted into layers upon layers of striated color. OMM took these colors and made a special series of Axle Pack and Baskets, along with Astral Outback wheelsets.
The parts are super limited to just 12 sets of Axle Pack, 12 Baskets. There are a few Baskets and Axle Packs available online, the rest are available in person at MADE 2024. Prices are the same as normal.
Also matching this kit are Astral’s Outback wheelsets, which are only available in person at MADE 2024.

Announced way back at the 2021 Sea Otter Classic, Old Man Mountain’s Basket ($80 – made in Taiwan) is a stamped aluminum, rugged basket meant to take the place of the almighty Wald 137.

A friend on the handlebars of my Sears BMX bike. A case of beer and groceries on the front rack of my old Vespa. An entire apartment in the back of my pickup truck. However, that functionality never existed for me in mountain biking.
