Terrible One grips, 00B bars, etc

Bunch of stuff came in today... Terrible One's Joe Rich-designed grips (comfy), gigantic Terrible One Paul Buchanan "00B" bars (yes, they're as big as they look), new tees by Terrible One and Coalition, and a can/bottle coozie by FBM...

Back in stock: FBM "Capone" frame in 20 5/8" black w/Mid bb and internal headset, a bunch of Profile cranks, Terrible One mesh hats and girl shirts, FBM bottleneck stems and Old 76 bars, and Coalition seatposts.

By the way, the S&M L.A.F. frame that came in yesterday is gone already, we've got more coming in in about two weeks (20.5 and 21")... those things are LIGHT!

New S&M L.A.F. frame, etc

That's right, we finally got in S&M's new "L.A.F." frame... this baby weighs in at only 5 lbs... 20.875" top tube, steeper 75 degree head tube angle, "mid" bottom bracket, integrated headset... incidentally, we've finally got some 22mm bearings to fit "Mid" bottom bracket frames (S&M, Fit, and FBM) on the way... I'm expecting them around July 5... also on that day we should see the new Redneck XLT stems...

Also got in Odyssey Pro Race forks in red and white, S&M Slam bars in black, Metal "Sasquatch" and "Dirty Dirty" bars in black, Metal Light sprockets, a green Tree sprocket in 33 tooth (more sizes to come, also in gold and red), and the oh-so-popular S&M Pitchfork stickers... Oh yeah, and the September 2005 Ride magazine...

That's right, it's supposed to get close to 100 degrees this weekend, why not pick yourself up a new jacket or sweatshirt? Hahahh.. no, seriously, all our in-stock jackets and sweatshirts are 25% off until the end of August... fall will be here before you know it, why not be prepared? We've got a pretty good selection right now, so check it out... we've also still got some older style UGP cargo shorts on sale for 25 bucks, too...

In other news, our eBay auction is ending tomorrow, and so far it's only up to $14.50... a good chance to pick up a cheap Federal frame... there is NO RESERVE on this auction, and if you pick it up at the shop you won't have to pay shipping, either... check it out here.

Not a whole lot else going on today... got in some FMF bars and number plates, and Odyssey 1x4 brake pads...

new chains, We The People, Macneil stuff

Got in some fun new stuff... new chain from KMC called the 710SL... I believe the "SL" probably stands for "Super Light"... this chain is riddled with holes and is a few ounces lighter than a KMC 510 chain, while still being every bit as strong...

Also got in We The People "5 Star" sprockets in 28, 30, 33, and 36... they are 7075 T6 aluminum and heat treated, and they look pretty cool... the smaller sizes are actually cheaper than the larger ones, which I've never seen done before but it makes sense... also got some nice Macneil and We The People tees...

Back in stock, you ask? We The People "Terrada" bars, Tip Plus chainrings, Fly "Mosca" stems in that grey color that everyone loves, Fly "Pantera" forks in all colors, Primo "Balance" seats, and 2006 DK "Step Up" complete bikes in grey...



Wednesday, June 22, 2005

UGP/Shadow stuff

Got a few things back in stock... Shadow Conspiracy gloves at a new and improved lower price, Shadow "Slim" and "Crow" seats, and UGP number plates and numbers...

Should have the S&M "L.A.F." frame in stock in about a week... click here to check out an L.A.F. bike check on BMXonline...

wood

First day of summer! Awesome... Got a few skate decks in from Bullet, Consolidated, and some BCD blanks... also got in Bullet trucks and wheels, the Tampa Am DVD, and Doh Dohs bushings...

Also got in Snafu's "Moebus" gyro, and 2006 DK Eight Pack complete bikes in blue... Be on the lookout for a bunch of new Fit's in July... That's all for today...

shoes on sale, etc

Got a bunch of shoes on sale:
Lotek "Troop" in black or brown, $59...
Etnies "Vallely" in black, $65...
Etnies "Rooftop 3" in black/white or brown/tan/orange, $49...

Little Devil's 10 year anniversary shoe should be in within the next few weeks... we've only got a very limited number coming in... if you're interested, we can hold a pair in your size for you, but we'll need a deposit, which is NON REFUNDABLE... otherwise, it's first-come, first-serve...

If you have an older version of the Odyssey cassette hub and it's getting sloppy, we got in some of the newer style 7075 bearing spacer sleeves that may be the answer to your problems... there is hope, you may not need a new hub after all!

some things i heard

Here are some things you may or may not have heard about:

Odyssey is no longer producing their Duralectra rims (which were Sanford Process hard-anodized Hazard Lites)... instead, all of their regular Hazard Lite rims will be hard anodized, which means your brakes will work better than they would on a regular painted rim, though this finish isn't as durable as the Duralectra finish was. 7KA rims, by the way, are also hard anodized, but they are lighter than Hazard Lites. All black Odyssey rims we have in stock are hard anodized, and the price on the Hazard Lites hasn't changed.

Fit complete bike prices are unfortunately going to increase due to production costs when we get the next batch in late July... sign of the times, I guess... if you're thinking about getting a Fit complete bike, now may be the time... most models are only going up 10-20 dollars, but the "Team" looks like it may go up as much as $50. We still have some Fits in stock at the original prices... we've got the "Team" in khaki or silver, the "Pro" in silver, and the "Replica" in black. We've also still got some older models on sale as well... the "Complete" in black or green for only $199, the "Replica" in blue for only $249, and the "Pro" in black for $299.

Fly Bikes is getting so good at making things that their warranty is now good for two years instead of just 90 days... even on stuff that you've already bought! Check out the details here. Fly should also have a video out by the end of summer, so keep your eyeballs peeled.

I think Animal finally has a new website up, but I'm not sure because I don't have time to update my browser...

I heard a rumor that Ron Bonner sold or is selling UGP after nearly 20 years... he is wisely holding on to the Shadow Conspiracy though...

There is a Jam happening at the Prison trails in Billerica on Sunday, July 10th (see flyer below - more info soon)... also, I think the Bone Deth Deadman Challenge is scheduled for July 31st...

New stuff on the way: S&M L.A.F. frames, Terrible One grips and Paul Buchanan handlebars...

Macneil Whitton frame and BB, Primo Balance rims, Etnies "Terranea" shoes

Got in the Macneil Alistair Whitton frame today... 20.9" and 6 lbs, 1 oz. with an integrated head tube, gyro tabs, multiple cable routing options, an externally butted seat tube, and a bottom brackets that fits either a Spanish bottom bracket or Macneil's new push-fit bb's, which we also got in today (only in 22mm right now though - 19mm's should be in soon)... this bb basically uses two Euro-sized bearings, but with shock-absorbing polyurethane cups that push into a Spanish sized frame. Confusing, yes.

Also got in the Primo "Balance" rims finally... double wall with a center i-beam section and a bunch of holes drilled in the tire-side... that gets these babies down to a pound even, which is about 4 oz. lighter than a Hazzard Lite... black or chrome, 36 hole only.

Also got in more Etnies "Terranea" (Ruben's pro model) shoes in olive green...

Back in stock: polished silver Primo Powerbite cranks, "Off the Map" DVDs, and Macneil "Lighter" 9 butted/heat treated bars in 5 or 14 degree sweep...

Check the Macneil "Ruben" frame we've got on eBay... the auction is ending tomorrow... it's up to $86, still really cheap for a brand new frame...

new shoes, cheap cassette wheel

Got in some new shoes from Etnies... the long awaited Ruben Alcantara signature shoe called the "Terranea", and Bastien Salabanzi's pro model shoe... also got in FBM "Race" gears in smaller sizes (28-36)... By the way, FBM's new DVD should hopefully be out towards the end of next month...

Back in stock are FBM Old 76 bars in 9 or 12 degree sweep, and Coalition seats and clamps...

Speaking of Ruben, the Macneil "Ruben" frame we have on eBay is only up to $29 and the auction ends in less than two days... check it out here, there's no reserve on this auction by the way...

I updated the SALE/SPECIALS page today... got a couple of good deals... a chrome Odyssey 7KA rim laced up with a black Odyssey cassette hub and black DT Swiss spokes with chrome nipples (48 spoke) for only $159... that's $60 less than it would normally be... it's an '04 cassette, but it's still quite nice... plus it was built by us, which means the spokes were prepped and pre-stressed, so it won't loosen up and fall apart after your first ride... this wheel is probably gonna go fast, so scoop it up while you can... (NOTE: SOLD on 6/11 - sorry...) also newly on sale is a black S&M PBR frame with American BB for only $259...

Last but not least, be on the lookout for the Standpoint 6 DVD sometime soon... check out the trailer here. Thanks for listening, and have a nice day!

new Dig, Sasquatch bars

Got the new Dig magazine (#46) in today, with flatland on the cover! Haven't seen that in a while... the magazine is excellent as usual...

Also got in some Metal "Sasquatch" bars... very similar to S&M Slam bars... huge...

Back in stock are Orchid "Step On It" DVDs and Suzue front hubs... these hubs are my personal favorite... they're simple and light, they've got a nice chrome job, they're cheaper than pretty much every other front hub on the market, and they fit Kink or Standard axles... 36 hole only...

Check out the trailer for a video that Andrew Burton and crew are working on... Andy says "the finished product is a long LONG way off"...
