EXTRA INFO:
The JC/PC Pedals are half white, half black. I run the pins on the white side flush for pedal grinds. I also run a white half on that side so I always know what side is the grind side.

As for the bars, they are exactly Lumberjacks, with 4 deg. of up sweep, making them 8.6″ tall. Your hands are in the same position, your wrists thank you for the up sweep.

The Weight for all of those wondering: 22.8 lbs.

As one of the main dudes behind our R&D, you can bet that Ben’s bike is dialed (and blinging gold). A complete parts list can be found in the flipbook above and a couple things to note are the new Four:four bars and the gold rims, spokes, nipples and hubs he’s running are now available.

OS-BMX Meet Recap

Product Placement!

The 2009 OS-BMX Meet happened this past Saturday. Our own Ben Ward won an awesome award for the Spike Bike and took home a crafty handlebar trophy. Our homies Greyboy and Truly Odd took home some trophies as well. Nuno has the throwback bike pics covered on Defgrip and Fat has a nice collection as well over at Ride BMX. Read more for miniature dogs, the Lord and a VW bus.
