To go along with the photos we posted yesterday, here’s a little video that Tom Perry whipped up. Remember, these white tires aren’t scheduled to be available until late May.

Ohio’s White Tanwalls

Tom Perry (Ohio) stopped by not too long ago to pick up some new goods and we hooked him up with a pair of white tanwalls. Here are some pics taken by Josh Hayes.

These tires won’t be available until late May, so consider this a sneak peek!

Greyboy and Truly have a bike check up on the Ride site, along with an interview about Impakt Sidehacks and an online version of their Sidehack Love article from earlier this year. Constantly carrying 315lbs plus the force of landings and grinds, these 3 wheeled cousins can take and handle a lot of abuse. Check out the bike check to see what type of parts they’re running on it!

Show Bike: Fire Engine Red

Francis — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:53:41 +0000

We have a couple show bikes lingering around our booth and one of them is completely decked out in the Fire Engine Red parts kit we posted a couple days ago. Aside from having the full kit, this bike also has our prototype seat post, which works for both pivotal and railed seats.

Triple Gold G’s

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.

It’s not really a full bike check but it is a close-up look at a CUSTOM wheelset Ben Ward built up for Steve Blackey of Gravity Powered Vehicles and The Bicycle Source. Though you can’t buy it as a complete wheelset, all parts are available separately:

Nuno’s bike check overspill

Francis — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 23:23:02 +0000

When not breaking collarbones, Nuno‘s been tearing up the trails lately on a Sunday Model D. Jim Cielencki put up his bike check the other day over at Sunday Bikes and there were a handful of extra photos. Instead of letting them collect gigadust in my harddrive, we decided to do an overspill. In case you didn’t know, silver’s the new black and it’s bringing sexy back. The previous sentence may or may not be deleted with time.

Sittin’ on Chrome!!!

Nuno — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 18:29:57 +0000

I took a look at the web today and it seems by bike is all over the place, and that’s weird. I guess this little shout out goes to the 3 pages on BG and the name mention on SPRFLS. I am going to take a minute here to answer the questions I have seen and to straighten out all of the inaccuracies that are floating around. Hope this helps.-ben

Frame: Sunday Ian, chopped and channeled seat tube to allow for a sky scraper seat pole.

Fork: Director 2, Integrated Steer tube race, Chrome finish. These are something I have had done, they will NEVER be released.

Bar: Lumberjacks, Chrome finish. These will be hitting your shops and distributors in a few weeks. Get them while they’re hot. SUPER LIMITED!!! Haha.

Cranks: Wombolts, 175, RHD, Chrome finish. These are something I have had done, they will NEVER be released. KC badger has the only other pair.

Sprocket: 25T MDS High Polished. These were sold this way.

Chain: KMC Kool Chain Lite

Pedals: JC/PC Pedal. Familiar JC size and shape, all the advantages of plastic pedals with all the grip you could want. I have flush mount hardware on the backside since that is my “grind” side. These are also an Odyssey product. Easy rule of thumb is GSport is the high end wheel category and in the long run, there is not separation or difference between Odyssey and GSport. No set release date…

Front Wheel: GSport Rib Cage, GSport Butted Spokes, GSport Aluminum Tapered-Hex Nipples, Hand Stripped and Polished Marmoset, Tanwall Path 2.10, Generic Tube from the box in back.

Rear Wheel: GSport Rib Cage, GSport Butted Spokes, GSport Aluminum Tapered-Hex Nipples, Hand Stripped and Polished Ratchet w/ 9T Prototype and 3/8 Axle, Tanwall Path 1.85, Generic Tube from the box in back.

Pegs: Jpeg Lighters or Plegs, mostly Plegs. 2 in front, 1 in back.

Seat Post Clamp: Prototype

Seat Post: Silver Intac 25.4, 1 fist rule.

Seat: Mike Aitken Signature Black

Grips: Griswald Black

Grip Donuts: Red Lizard Skins

Barends: Parends Black

Lever: Monolever Short White

Cable: Linear White

Brake: Acs Boa, OG Son! I usually don’t have brakes. I picked these up to keep the throwback look and to use whenever I feel like it. They are dialed.

Brake pads: Slim by 4 Clear

Weight for all of those wondering: 23lbs or so.

I hope to have a Chromed out Wave 2 by Interbike, the pocketbook aint gonna like that, haha.

TANWALL TIRES

Nuno — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:11:39 +0000

UPDATE: AVAILABLE NOW!

Some of you eagle-eyed the Tanwall tires in those riding pics that Jim posted from the other day, and emails/comments began.

Above is a better pic of my bike with the Tanwall tires so you can check them out. The front is a knobby Aitken, and the rear is a Path. The label on the tire is not right, so disregard that.

These Tanwall tires are being made to “look” like old school skinwalls, but are way more durable as the casings coincide with what we are offering now. Actual skinwalls wouldn’t hold up very well these days, but the Tanwalls will.

These are a few months out. More info soon.
