those look like some pretty sweet bars, kinda remind me of flatland bars and i dont understand how those dont bend but then again with 41 thermal anything is possible

They ARE flatland bars!!

So happy that Ody is still a force in the flatland scene.

flatland bars with 6 degrees sweep wtf

can u do a chase gouin bike check of his flatland bike i wanna see it i thinks its awesome u made signature flatland bars hes my fav

why would you make flatland forks and not use the director design? that director design is perfect for flatland!

The long steerer tube is great! Keep that when you do the director version. And why didn't you guys just make the dang director version? Also, you need to make the 14mm fronts again! Many of us are actually hard on our front axles too! 3/8" axles suck for pegs, period. How about a light weight 14mm vandero type hub!

I agree. do 14mm hubs and forks. I am a street rider but i do love the shorter offset of your older flatland forks. but without 14mm slots, i can't run the new forks because pegs kill 10mm axles pretty quickly!

where are the pledals?

Thanks a lot Chris! I love you! I love Odyssey!

There are some things that I still don't understand:

1. Why brake mounts are removable on zero offset version, but welded on regular offset version? Same thing was with 2005 forks.

2. How much of steerer tube can I cut? And is it advisable to cut the steerer tube or add some spacers?

3. With what pegs diameter in mind were the dropouts designed, i.e. if I use some 1.5" pegs, will the dropouts stick out, or be flush or stay behind?

4. The forks are going to cost like Race forks, aren't they?

5. Man, I can't tell how happy I am now! Chris, THANK YOU again!

Oh and I forgot to ask: the Chase bars are in fact two-piece, aren't they?

I am so stoked on the Chase bars.

oh shit, i was thinking of chase hawk, sorry, idiot moment

i seriously thought u guys were making director-style flat forks with zero offset :[

sweet as fuck! im just going to get the zero offset forks instead of waiting for zero offset directors, removable brake mounts FOR THE WIN!

-nose manuals

CHRIS or JIM B? would phat widow cranks be advisable for hard street? i have some opportunities.

kirk get the chase bars and a 19" top tube also and then go bust out those 10ft drops..... thatd be awesome

Monday's are always busy. I'll try to get to all of the questions tomorrow.

those zero offset forks are pretty neat=)

Seriously guys, you need to make Wombolts in 160mm.

Where are the Plegs?

just ordered a pair of directors.... first thing im gonna do is test em with a heelclicker to stair landing

1.“flatland bars with 6 degrees sweep wtf”

ODSY: Chase wanted 6 degrees, so that’s what he gets. In the late 80’s “flatland” bars (Haro Kneesavers) had a lot of up and backsweep. There is also a more “modern” zero-sweep model that will be available.

2. "can u do a chase gouin bike check of his flatland bike i wanna see it"

ODSY: I asked Chase for some photos. We’ll see what happens.

3. "why would you make flatland forks and not use the director design?"

ODSY: The Director Forks need special tooling. It is very possible that we will do Director-style flatland forks sometime in 2008, but it’s hard to say for sure.

4. "where are the pledals?"

ODSY: In the pre-production stages.

5. "Why brake mounts are removable on zero offset version, but welded on regular offset version?"

ODSY: We’ve found that people running “regular offset” tend to use brakes more frequently than people running zero offset. As I said in the original post, we will be able to make batches for each version in different configurations.

6. "How much of steerer tube can I cut? And is it advisable to cut the steerer tube or add some spacers?"

ODSY: You can cut approximately 20mm of steerer tube off before hitting the threads. You can do whatever suits you best (cut the tube, add spacers, etc.).

7. "With what pegs diameter in mind were the dropouts designed, i.e. if I use some 1.5" pegs, will the dropouts stick out, or be flush or stay behind?"

ODSY: The dropouts would basically be flush with 1.5” pegs.

8. "The forks are going to cost like Race forks, aren't they?"

ODSY: They should be priced like the Classic Freestyle Fork.

9. "the Chase bars are in fact two-piece, aren't they?"

ODSY: They are four piece.

10. "would phat widow cranks be advisable for hard street?"

ODSY: Eh, not really. Jim Bauer rode them for a long time, and never had a problem, but there are better options available.

11. "you need to make Wombolts in 160mm."

ODSY: We should be making more arm sizes in 2008.

can we buy the trailmix pedals in the uk now? and where?

THANKS JIM.

^ sorry i meant CHRIS.
whoops

12. "can we buy the trailmix pedals in the uk now? and where?"

ODSY: We are working on our distribution for the UK, and will be posting news soon on "where" and "when" you'll be able to get everything. Sorry about the wait. Everything should be sorted soon.

bro-g, i was using "10ft drops" as a reference because the norm for street these days is a wallride to 180 or a tailwhip offa curb. i actually did want a 19" hamilton until i realized i didnt have the$$$, but you were just bein a dick.

"11. "you need to make Wombolts in 160mm."

ODSY: We should be making more arm sizes in 2008."

Can you be more specific? Spring, summer, fall?

I'm really antsy.

good to see odyssey still involved in flatland.
there are a lot more flat riders out there than you think.
coverage is just sorta underground...

bars and forks look dope. i'm runnin' freestyle classics right now...and they are the best forks I've ever had.

thanks chris, george, jim, and nuno...(and everyone else) glad I'm not seeing flying wedge bars in the odyssey line up anymore....

when/will the trailmiz pedals be available in custom colours (metallic brown/ badger copper!)

Will you make plastic pedals with removable metal pins?

jc/pc update!

hey, is the padded cell goin bust, thats what i herd?

nah kirk i was just joking around sorry if ya took it the wrong way..... small frames kill your wrists on big drops.... where are the g spot fags.. i mean g sport plegs
