Lumberjack Bars, guacamole Odyssey

Just got in some new Odyssey stuff... some limited edition guacamole parts, including their Civilian bars, Race forks, and Jim C pedals... and I know that's a Coalition seat in the picture, we just got the camo ones back in and I thought it matched quite well...

We also got in Odyssey's enormous Lumberjack Bars (as in Gary "The Lumberjack" Ellis?)... 8.25 rise, 28" width, 12 degree backsweep, 1 degree upsweep, 1lb 12 oz and 41 Thermal lifetime guaranteed...

Black Odyssey 3/8" Race Fork classics finally came back in as well, along with a bunch of Odyssey cassette and Vandero hub parts...

Happy Hour, Hit the Switch

Got in some of Josh Stricker's Happy Hour tee shirts late yesterday, and also some Attila Bikes "Hit The Switch" DVDs... this is a pretty sweet UK video, but the bad news is that it will only work in multi-regional DVD players...

Also got some white Slam XLT bars back in stock, Fit and Metal tees, S&M seat clamps, and even more FitLife DVDs...

Animal cables, stickers, etc

Just got in an Animal order with some "Illegal" linear cables on it in orange, brown, and green... also, a whole mess of new Animal and Skavenger stickers... and we are restocked on Animal tee shirts, sprockets and guards, Hamilton pedals, Jump Off stems, ASM/GLH tires, and more... basically, if you're looking for anything made by Animal, we've most likely got it...

Etnies?

If any of you guys like Etnies "Roscoe" or "Terranea" (Taj or Ruben) shoes, you might be interested to know that Etnies is "temporarily suspending their BMX program"... in other words, no more Taj or Ruben shoes, at least for a while, but possibly permanently... apparently, most of the guys on the team ride various Etnies skate shoes anyway...

We will be getting in an order including Roscoes and Terraneas sometime in March... if you want to get your hands (or feet) on any of these before they are gone, let us know and we'll make sure we've got you covered...

Also, there are some photos up on www.holdontighter.com from the 1201/Lights Out/Anthem video showing/pizza party we had at the shop a little while back, check 'em out here...

Just got in some more Fly/Suelo front brakes, this time in white... also got in some other Fly stuff, like cranks in 175mm (black, white, and green), Fly bottom bracket hop-up kits, black Fly Ruben pedals, Ruben tires, and more!

The new Dig and Ride UK's have shipped, we should see both of them within the next couple of weeks... Shook's "Put In Werk" DVD should be here Monday (trailer here - who 360's/180's into stairs?), along with some other stuff...

Ceneca seats/posts and more

Just got in a whole bunch of stuff... if you're sick of waiting for Macneil pivotal seats and posts to come in, join the club! We just got in some Ceneca seats and posts (sold seperately), which are pretty much the exact same thing (the seat is just like the Macneil SL). We still have some Macneil seats in stock, but no posts... the latest ETA for that stuff is the end of February, we'll see...

Also got in some FSA Impact Pro integrated headsets, which are just like the regular FSA Impacts but with stainless steel bearings for some extra strength...

Got in some Eastern "Axle's Nuts" (aluminum axle nuts) in 14mm and 3/8" in a few different colors, along with some Eastern chain tensioners...

Limited edition S&M "Inferno" XLT stems came back in, along with teal Odyssey elementary stems, white Odyssey Linear cables, Sunday "Morning 2" forks, Odyssey Monolevers in left and right, Fit Ed and High/Northwest bars in black, and more FitLife DVDs...

Thanks to everyone who came by Friday night for the 1201/Lights Out/Anthem video showing/party, hope everyone had a good time... we had a bunch of pizzas and cokes, checked out some classic BMX, and then threw a sesh into the Edge... we're planning more events like this one, so if you missed out, don't worry!

Take "Time" frame, FBM hubguards, etc

Got in the new "Time" frame from the Take today... how awesome are those gussets? We got it in "root beer" with a 20.75" top tube... it's got a 74.75 degree head tube angle (right in the middle of what most frames have), weighs in at around 5.4 lbs, and features glow-in-the-dark stickers... sweet!

We also got in FBM's new hubguard, which is basically the same as their old one but with a metal insert to keep it from getting mangled... also be sure to check out FBM's new catalog/'zine, we've got a few of them in the shop free for the taking...

I got a chance to check out the new Props yesterday, lots of local dudes got some good clips in there, which is always good to see... we've got it playing on the tube for y'all to check out...

Got in the new Transworld Skate mag today, too...

Also got in the new Ride, along with a bunch of Odyssey gloves, Fly headsets, stems, tires, and pegs, and more...

Also wanted to mention that "Classic Video Nite" this Friday is BYOB (that's Bring Your Own BIKE), as there has been talk of a session at the Edge afterwards...

Oh yeah, and for anybody that has been waiting for anything to come in from Macneil, it just got pushed up to the end of the month... we've got a bunch of stuff on order, so hang in there...

Classic Video Nite, Ruben for sale

A lot of you may have already heard about this, and I'm glad to hear that people are psyched on it... we are going to be having some classic BMX video showings/parties here at the shop to help fend off the winter doldrums... between myself and my old geezer friends, I think we can come up with some pretty good videos from our VHS archives...

Join us for installment #1 this Friday, February 9th as we celebrate the early works of Stew Johnson... in addition to being a really nice guy, Stew has been and continues to be involved with numerous BMX video projects, and it all started with the classic and influential videos 1201, Lights Out, and Anthem...

We will be getting started at around 6:30 pm or so... hope to see everyone then... there will be pizza, there will be root beers, there will be good times...

In other news, I have some used bike parts for sale: A Terrible One Ruben frame in 20.8", with a Solid headset, a Fit Series 2 fork, a Primo seat, and extremely short Demolition post, and a Salsa seat clamp. Frame fits a Spanish BB. Everything is in good shape. First $150 takes it.

Demolition brakes, etc

Got in some new stuff today, including a few pairs of Demolition's new "Vulcan" brake in black... features a sealed bearing in each arm for extra smooth operation, similar to the Revenge brakes... comes with Kool Stop Supra 2 pads and a cable hanger...

Also got F-1 sprockets back in from Demolition in black and burgundy...

The limited edition S&M "Inferno" XLT stem also came in today, get it while it's... ohh never mind...

If you're into hucking it on the mountain bikes, we got in Atomlab's new DVD "Tough As Hell"... you can check out a trailer here. Worth a look even if you're not into it. Dude tail taps the ceiling in the last clip, pretty wild. Features Carter Holland, Adam Hauck and Phil Sundbaum.

On the subject of DVD's, we should be getting in Props #63 real soon... check out the trailer here. There is also a new Shook due to come out soon, peep the trailer here.

Mail order? Bad Timing DVD, etc

Most of you guys probably already know this, but if you ever need something and live far away and can't make it to the shop, give us a call and we can probably help you out. I know a lot of you guys travel pretty far to get here, which is awesome... I just want everyone to know that you won't have to go without if you can't make it in... again, most of you probably already know that...

Anyways, we got some new stuff in, namely the new Bad Timing DVD called "Just Kidding"... I really liked their last DVD, and this one looks just as good... if you haven't seen the trailer, you can check it out by clicking here. Or, you can just come in and watch the whole video, it will be playing in the shop...

We also got in some awesome new Square One sweatshirts... these things are super heavy duty and wooly to keep you warm in this frigid weather (seriously - the thing weighs like twice as much as a regular sweatshirt)... it also has a hidden iPod pocket and thumb holes in the cuffs... real nice...

Also got in some new ShitLuck tees, and we are restocked on a number of things as well... Sunday "Morning 2" forks, Kink hubguards, Kink KC Badger bars, Odyssey kevlar Senior seats, United seats, and Coalition posts...

Props #63 (with part two of the Credence trip and the New England scene report) is on the way, if anybody wants to reserve a copy just give us a call...

And lastly, we are going to be having a "classic BMX video party" soon... round one is going to be Stew Johnson's 1201, Lights Out, and Anthem... juicy details soon...
