Anybody care to share information and pictures of Ultimate Machine Co products?

My recent bike acquisition included a very nicely made Ultimate crown (Ti bolts and steerer) which has sparked my interest in these products.

Lets see those little spacemen!

Prescott, AZ? I remember something about a frame manufacturer from there. Conejo?

*Edit*

Nope, that was Phoenix.

Someone else. Steel, and exclusive.
 
Additional information:

ULTIMATE MACHINE - A manufacturer of high-quality, extremely light-weight MTB components; titanium and aluminium are essential for their production.

The name makes it very difficult for on-line searching....

My recent acquisition. Hoping to gather as many parts as possible for the "Ultimate Build....."

The cranks do look like the lovechild of Grafton and Raceface. Durability? Not so sure but they look nice!

2 more pictures of Ultimate products. Wish the seatpost was a 30mm....

Five inches travel in back...and an AMP fork up front...not much balance...?
 
If im not mistaken, Ultimate actually made things for TNT. Thats why Some components are basically identical..

Comparing a TNT hub with a Ultimate I think you are right, very similar in design and construction.

Wonder if UMC started as a contractor for various brands then started their own line?
