damn jimbo sick stuff.with fresh clean style..keep up good work.

are those g-sport pegs?

Yes.
G-Sport.

jim, you maybe not kinda of cool, but damn... your ride is sweet! good idea to go brakeless too.

Thats..... Hideously Gorgeous?

That's the most disgusting bike I've ever seen in my life. You make me sick. Brakeless, bro come on. "Don't you go dying on me."

what does "R&R Powdercoating" mean?

that might be the best and craziest looking paint i've ever seen on a frame, that is so awesome, congrats jim, if there was a prize to win you'd get it, because that is seriously rad! when did you decide to ditch the brakes?

does the v2 elementary have helicoil instead od the nut?? i think it is better with hardware..i wouldnt trust all of that force in a helicoil...

yeah i own that bike

thats a kickass bike man!!!

Jim, where did you get that desgin idea on your frame, orginal, and is podwer coating on the expensive side?

where do you think of these things!

Wow, that is the wildest bike I have EVER seen. Nice choice with the big tires f/r, that's the way to go.

oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good really gooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey, Nice bike!! When are the aitken tires out?

thats an awesome colour'd bike, i want that frame!

whats the process on how they paint that pattern on there?

that is probably one of the ugliest paint jobs ever. HOWEVER, setting aside the eye sore of the paint, its an extremely nice bike

I also had a radial laced front wheel but, after an aborted high footplant, the bike landed on the front wheel and the spokes pulled away the hub flange...

Interesting think is that, just before it happened, I exchanged a couple of emails with George French about the disadvantages of radial lacing. He warned me exactly of that. Damn George, you're always right... ;-)

Antao

best bike ever..

how long did it take to do the frame, is it hand painted???

Wow. nice to see there are still true individuals roaming this trend infested activity. how well does the powder coatingwork while braking?

when do the aitken tires come out.......................
ANSWER!!!!!!!

word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dude, im sry to admit this, but your paint job just gave me a woody, its so damn nice

beautiful in the strangest way possible...
forget the looks that must be an amazing ride.

nice ass paint im lovin it!!!

I swear that bike is GAY GAY GAY!!!

bangin

goooooo!

How the hell did you do that. For the love of God you must tell. I can work out how it's done if it's hand sprayed but if it's powder coat then that is the work of true Geneous. I salute you sir.

Jim Bauer is the reason I get out of bed every afternoon. The brown seat looks kind of weird, but whatever. RADABONZICAL!

You always come up with a crazy looking bike!

wild

That is the sweetest bike I have ever seen! Another has come to the DARK side (Brakeless).

On another note, I have the same bars and when i push down on the ends of the grip tube they flex like crazy, what's up?

when are the aitken tires coming out? whats the diff between the v2 and a regular elementary?

Wow. I didn't think I would get this many comments.

OK-
I started with a Mint green(production) color frame. Then I got the forks, rims, bars, cranks powdercoated by Rob at R&R powdercoating in Riverside. Then I taped off the grid with masking tape. Then I used Montana spray paint over the tape. Then Handpainted the grid more to eliminate all "overspray to give it clean edges. Remove tape, clear coat. done. The rims will not last if I had brakes.

Aitken tires are in production as we speak.

the V2 has a helicoil and tounge/grooved wedges.

so is the V2 lighter and when will it come out?

oh nice.
When are the wombolts coming out?????
post an update on those!!!!!!

Tip of the hat to you sir. That looks like a lot of hardwork that really payed off. I love your creativity. Awesome is the only word for what you do.

Hi,

I'm sure you're trying to do your best about the Wombolts, that you want to make sure that everyting is top quality and that it takes time. But, can you give us a simple reply like "we´re almost there" or "unfortunately it's going to take longer than we expected"?

My bike is hanging on the wall without a crank because the previous one (non Odyssey) cracked.

Yesterday I went to a BMX store web site, put a crank on the shopping basket and had the mouse cursor on the checkout button for a long time. I didn't click because I would hate to order it and, on the next day, visit your web site to find out that the Wombolts were ready to ship...

i seen the wombolts in staff bmx ad in ride yesterday in my friends Ride bmx magazine and it said call about them?

what is this all about?

dans doesnt even gott em

We're hoping for a late June release on the Wombolt crank, but I can't guarantee that.

I apologize profusely for the wait, but I can assure you that it will be worth it.

Chris/Odyssey

you know what, you guys at odyssey are a bunch of as*ho*les. Because I remeber when the wombolts where suposed to be coming out APRIL. And form there on you kept pushing the release date farther back so all the people that need or want new cranks would wait for the wombolts. Well I don't think that that is very "cool".

Unfortunately you can't always predict these manufacturing delays when you're working a new product, particularly one that's never been tried before.

Are we assholes for waiting until a product is truly ready before selling it to the public? I wanted the cranks done in April also, but that date has come and gone...so what can I do about now? There are a lot of variables that are playing a roll here. We are trying our absolute best to get them out as fast as possible.

Sorry for the let down...but as I've already said, the wait will be worth it.

Chris/Odyssey

You guys should make some parts with that crazy tile pattern I would buy that shit up quick

Yeah man, My neighbor got tired of waiting for the wombolts' so he bought some powerbites and he paid 125 bucks I think thats' a sweet deal! Plus my son has had powerbites for years' now and no problems what so ever, I on the other hand opted for the 41 cranks' and they kick some serious ass!

Hi Chris,

Thanks a lot for the reply!...

Only immature kids can think that producing quality products is easy and schedules never slip... :-P

Antao

bring back the hutch!
