The Planet Cross was ridden by Johs Huseby to the National Collegiate Championship in October of 1996, just prior to its formal introduction at the 1996 Interbike in Anaheim.
The Planet Cross has a tall head tube to provide ample shoulder clearance for portaging and a special 'cross fork (stronger than the IF road fork) with extra tire clearance and a derailleur adjuster mounted on the seat tube to keep it out of the mud.

The heritage of the Ti Crown Jewel design is the steel Crown Jewel which has an outstanding reputation both on and off the race course for exceptional handling and ride quality.
The Ti Crown Jewel made history upon its introduction in 2001 by being the first titanium frame to be shot peened. Shot peening the aero-space grade 3/2.5 titanium tubing provides a uniquely lustrous finish, stress relieves the frame and dramatically increases the fatigue life in the heat affected zones. The main triangle custom butted with precise centerless grinding and the dropouts are done in custom machined 6/4 ti.
The Ti Crown Jewel is the only ti frame available with carbon forks in 4 offsets so as to provide similar trail and handling throughout the range of sizing, yielding exceptional handling qualities. IF partnered with Reynolds Composites and paid to have additional tooling made so they could achieve this objective with the 1.125" Reynolds Ouzo Pro fork.
Options for the Crown Jewel include carbon stays ($4300).

Reynolds 953 is a martinsitic age-hardenable stainless steel.
Martinsitic stainless steel takes a high polish while having substantial mechanical properties including hardness, wear resistance and machinability. An exemplary application is so-called lens quality steel. The term lens quality means, as used in this application and with reference to the plastic forming industry, a steel which, when formed into a mold, is capable of taking, and retaining over a long period of use, a high polish.
This super metal has an ultimate yield strength of 2000 MPa verses 1400 MPa for Reynolds 853 and 800 MPa for 4130 chrome-moly steel. 3Al-2.5V titanium has ultimate yield strength of 900 MPa. When you take in account the densities of steel and titanium, you find that the strength to weight ratio of 953 is 256 verses 3-2.5 Ti at 200.
One of the main advantages of 953 is that a frame can be made with oversized tubing without a penalty in weight. This builds a stiff and super light frame that retains the liveliness and feel of high quality steel. Another advantage is its corrosion resistance. Thin wall steel is susceptible to rust. This will not be an issue with Reynolds 953 due to its high corrosion resistance.

The XS is made out of custom carbon fiber composite tubes and a carbon fiber monostay and fork made exclusively for IF by Reynolds Composites. All IF designed and manufactured shot peened titanium lugs were developed to maximize strength, minimize weight, deliver optimum performance and incredible style. The carbon tubes are bonded into the custom lugs with high tech, high strength epoxies. These are the same epoxies used throughout the aerospace industry in applications where maximum strength and durability are required.
The the dropouts are done in custom machined 6/4 ti.
The XS is available with carbon forks in 4 offsets so as to provide similar trail and handling throughout the range of sizing, yielding exceptional handling qualities.
