Oh and the white/tanwall Aitken Tires were prototypes at the time but they’re available now for purchase!

You may have seen some photos of this tall bike floating around the internet these past few days and we decided to put together a little bike check featuring all of the parts we ended up using to make it happen. The hardest part to make this bike a reality was having a solid steering mechanism (we ended up having to use 4 headsets) and getting the right sprocket size combos to get the chain tension right through out the whole drive-terrain. The end result is a ridiculously tall bike with a lot of parts and a top wheel that rolls backwards when the bike is rolling forwards.

A huge thanks goes out to Rob at CM Speed for doing the welding for us!

To go along with his bike check, there’s a brief Q&A with Mr. Pitcher after the read more link.

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.

Four:four bars

A large four piece bar is now available. Same specs as our Lumbarjack but with a 4 deg. upsweep, bringing the height at the ends to 8.6″. Shipping soon. Contact your local shops or mail-orders to get a pair.

41-Thermal.
Lifetime Guaranteed.

RISE: 8.6″
WIDTH: 28″
UPSWEEP: 4 Deg.
BACKSWEEP: 12 Deg.
WEIGHT: 1lb 11.9 oz

We just got a new shipment in and a ton of these bad boys showed up. Some places already have them in stock while others will be getting them very soon. Contact your shops and mail orders to get a pair.
