I dropped by the factory that makes our grips yesterday & checked on the current production of our LFH grips. It was pretty interesting to see how they are made. Check out the photos below from left to right – The machine that makes our grips one pair at a time. A pair of grips right after they are formed in the injection mold. A box of grips that are still warm right after production. A bag full of our push-in style plastic bar ends.

Looking back it’s been a huge year for Colony. Firstly, we went independent which was a huge move but one that had to be done. We had a full brand re-vamp with an all new logo & overall look. Cooper Brownlee came on board as the art director & then more recently as our team manager, photographer & as a pro team rider. We launched many new products like our LFH grip, Clone rims & wheel sets & all new frames just to name a few. Mick Bayzand came back home from a few years in Canada. I got married. Tim Wood had a baby boy. Matt King had a baby girl. Alex Hiam became the world’s youngest pro rider with his own signature frame. The team punched out a good amount of web videos & we did a huge tour around south eastern Australia.
None of this would have been possible without all your support out there. So to everyone that has bought one of our products, came out to ride with us, watched a web video or was just simply down for what we’re about – thank you.
Wishing everyone out there the best 2010 possible !!

On January 20th there will be a memorial jam for Blake Butterfield in Kempsey, NSW. If you’re in the area or looking for an excuse for a roadtrip, make yourself to it for some fun. It’s all for a good cause too with all proceeds raised going to the Weastmead Children’s Hospital.

… Cooper Brownlee !! Cooper has been an integral part of Colony for almost 12 months now being our art director & will now officially join the team as a pro rider as well as our team manager. He will be in charge of looking after the team worldwide, planning our team trips all over the planet & basically looking after everything to do with the team’s needs. Cooper will also take the role as our official photographer & videographer which will be a great asset to have.
The entire team along with myself, welcome you with both arms mate & I am really looking forward to the years ahead.
