The frame featured a few days ago is Simon O’Brien’s signature frame, the Dejavu.

Simon’s frame will come in two sizes… 18.2 & 18.9″ with a 75 degree head tube angle & 71 degree seat tube angle. The rear end is 12.4″ with 10mm drop out slots with 14mm cutting lines.

It will come with removable brake mounts & hardware & features a built-in seat clamp with replacable nut & bolt. Spanish BB system is standard as is an integrated headset.

The entire frame is post heat treated giving it a great strength to weight ratio. The weight as tested is 4.09 lbs or 1,800 grams.

It will be offered with a lifetime warranty as well & the release date is set for early 2009.

What frame is that? Hard to say from the pic.

Yo… check out the final samples of our Fantastic Plastic pedals. These will be going into final production very soon.

You will notice the weights are very favourable compared to other pedals out there. The non-clear versions are lighter due to the material used while the clear ones are a little heavier but still lighter than any other pedal out there right now.

First release colours will be… Black & White with limited edition colours as Tangerine, Red, Fluro Yellow & Grey.

We will also have some clear colours such as Black, Clear, Red & Purple. These will be released at a later date yet to be confirmed.

First release is set for late September this year.

Shane Badman’s signature flatland frame is getting closer to reality. Here is one that my friend Ross Lavender, is in the process of building up. It wont come in this colour but it looks pretty fresh. Ross did the powder coating himself at Lewis & Sons Powder Coating.

In Shane news… he is about to make the move to Egypt to live & will have a job doing shows on a daily basis on some luxury resort. Sounds pretty good to me.

Late last year I released the news that Vans & Colony were working together on a Whip 2 shoe with Ryan Guettler. Well, here are the first pics of what the shoe will look like. It’s a huge deal for us to have this honour to work with a company like Vans & were stoked. Some of the Colony team will be lucky enough to have sample pairs soon.  

Expect the shoe to be available to the public January 2009.

I received the final sample of our Clone front hub today & it looks just how we wanted it. It features a 3 piece axle design with a very clean hub shell with a small flange diameter. Light, clean & simple… the way things are meant to be.

Colours available for the initial release in late June will be Black, Red & a limited edition White. Be on the lookout for additional limited edition colours of Tangerine & Grey in August.

Yo yo !!

It’s been a little while now since I have posted any news about our pedals. I thought it was about time to update you all.

The design has changed quite a bit from our original concept. The pedal is now much sleeker & the replaceable steel pins are gone due to reasons beyond our control. But it’s all good. We also did away with the half axle design due to its limitations in design.

Here is the final version of our ‘Fantastic Plastic’ pedal. Expect them out August in a range of colours. More info, including a photo of the actual samples will follow soon.
