Psalm Frame Project
Precision CNC machined lugs and custom carbon fiber tubes are the core of this newest version of the Psalm frame. Combined with an aluminum swingarm produced in conjunction with Stinner Frameworks in Santa Barbara, CA, the finished frame is the result of my nearly 30 years of obsession with bicycles.

Construction Methods
The Psalm frame currently in development combines CNC machined lugs with a proprietary double lap joint design with custom carbon fiber tubes.
Reserve Your Frame with a Deposit
Ordering this fully refundable item reserves a new Ministry Cycles Zahn frame for you. This $100 deposit is not the cost of the frame, but only the reservation deposit. This amount will be deducted from the cost of your frame, and you can cancel your reservation for a full refund at any time. Very few frames will be available, so this will helpe me priortize orders.
Unreal Speed at a Real World Price
A few years ago, a company in China named Yueh asked me to design a high-pivot suspension system for them. The frame they created turned out so nice that I asked if I could bring a Ministry Cycles version of it here in North America. The Zahn joins the Ministry family as the first frame to use a more common suspension system as opposed to my 3VO design. That simplicity helps us create a frame that offers outstanding performance at a price more riders can afford.
