Reed Stark's latest signature Safari frame line up includes Moonlite Grey and Midnite Blue as well as classic Flat Black.
The Safari frame features a slightly taller standover height at 9.5", because of this, the frame has a taller headtube to keep the frame angles looking nice. The taller headtube distributes stress at the front of the frame over a larger area and also means you can run your stem and forks without the need for headset spacers for a cleaner look up front.

The largest concentration of stress on a frame is at the junctions between the headtube/toptube and headtube/downtube. To handle the pressures of modern riding, the required strength is achieved by beefing this area up using a combination of butted tubing and external gussets.
