industry news

drivers and sprockets

The long awaited odyssey 10t drivers and 28t compact sprockets have started shipping to distributors. For those of you who have been impatiently waiting, the time has come.

New Threads

Some New shirts are out. Hot off the presses is the "Bicycle" and the "Old School" I'll let you figure out which is which. One Has a Maroon/burgundy Rider on a grey 50/50, the other has the Old logo in Yellow on a green 50/50. Incase you were wondering why we use 50/50, it is because they are the best. They are lighter and breathe better then 100% cotton. they retain thier color, shape, and size much better then other shirts. Check out a good "vintage" shirt. Not an abercrombie rip off, a real OLD shirt. If it looks pretty good, and the shape has stayed fitting for a long time its probably a 50/50. I guess that may have been a bit much, but thats how much I think about how our shirts come out. If we care that much about a t-shirt, figure out how much we care about more important parts.

James Hitchcox

James Hitchcox is a member of the ODYSSEY team over there in the UK.
I just saw he was on this Board so I figured I'd take the time to say he is a Bad Ass rider and a great guy. Check him out in the Megatour 1. Hopefully he will be coming around the US at Interbike?

Updates

Fellow Odyssey rider/ sprite drinker Adam Banton fractured his elbow on a toothpick gone wrong. He is on his way home from the Liquid Mix tour. Wish him a speedy recovery.

The next limited edition Jim Cielencki pedal color will be white. We will keep you posted on when they are available.
