Officially a sought after stem…

It’s official… Ryan’s Official Stem is one of our most sought after products. It is also one of our products that many PRO’s out there choose to run on their bikes even if it conflicts with their sponsors products.

Must be a reason for that? Maybe it’s the fact it’s one of the lightest stems out there? Maybe because it’s simple & not over engineered? Maybe because it looks so freaking good?

Who knows? All we know is that they are once shipping again as you read this. For those who have been waiting, the wait is almost over. The Official Stem will soon be available in plentiful supply once again…for a few weeks that is until they’re all gone again. So get in quick !!

For those that haven’t seen it yet…

It’s a little old now but can still hold it’s own today… Liam Fahy-Hampton’s ill fated Run At Me Slut video section… check it here. It’s a huge 110meg file though so be patient while downloading.

This is the video section that earned Liam a spot on the Colony team & got him his own signature frame & forks (yes, forks now too) which will be called the Hell Stallion. Not due out till August this year but will be worth the wait. More info in the coming months.

New Colony advert…

Here is the new advert featuring Ryan Guettler & his line of signature products as well as our ground breaking Oneway Pegs.

Ryan’s Unlucky13 Bars, Official Forks, Sprocket & Stem are available worldwide right now. The stem has even been popping up on a few pro’s bike checks of late too, proving it is one of the most sought after stems on the market today.

This advert will feature in Ride BMX USA, 2020 BMX as well as Focalpoint BMX magazines.

colonyguettleradvert.jpg

Our Oneway pegs feature a unique internal design which makes them very light. They are basically thicker on the bottom where you grind & thinner on top where you don’t. See the pic below for what I mean. Simple. Another Colony original design.

Frames will now be delayed now until March 2008.

We have had some very stressfull days here working on a problem that has hit us this week.

I am very sad to report that we encountered a problem with our 2008 frames recently shipped worldwide. There has been a manufacturing fault discovered in that the BB shells are ovalised on all Bloody Oath, MVP & Sect frames for 2008. This in turn would make the BB bearings sieze up & not turn freely. This does NOT affect any 2007 model Sect frames out there.

As these frames were not up to our strict quality standards, I made the decision to have them re-called before they hit the markets around the world. I don’t want Colony products out there unless they are absolutely 100% perfect.

This problem does not affect the 2008 Sect Limited Edition complete bike I am happy to report.

I am sorry for the delay this will cause but in March it will be worth the wait. We are having them all made again & making sure this rare problem never occurs again.

I thank everyone out there who has supported Colony from day one. We here at Colony always strive to offer you the best possible products & we will continue to do so.

Vans / Colony collaboration Whip 2 shoe in the works…

vans.jpg

The last few days I have been hanging out with Jerry Badders the BMX team manager for Vans. Today he showed me around the Vans offices in California & I gotta say it’s a pretty cool set up. It’s a huge place with so much cool stuff to check out. They even have a nice mini ramp set-up as well. Definately BMX friendly too. I also got to check out Guettler’s new Whip 2 shoe in the flesh & it looks pretty damn cool to say the least.

We have been working with Vans now for a few months on a collaboration Whip 2 shoe with Colony & Vans. Expect to see it available Spring 2009 which means available January 2009. So yeah you will have to wait a while but it will be worth the wait.

I will post more info here once it becomes available.

Product highlight – Oneway Pegs.

Our Oneway Pegs are growing in popularity the world over & for few good reasons…

1. They are light weight due to their special design & construction. So much so, that some companies feel the need to ‘copy’ our special internal offset design with them being thicker on the bottom where you grind & thinner on the top where you don’t grind. See the diagram for details.

colonyonewaypeg1.jpg

2. They come with the optional built-in chain tensioner that is also removable. Giving you complete freedom on how you run your pegs. See picture below.

3. They come in a great range of colours.

onewaypegs.jpg

4. They grind just as fast if not faster than traditional crmo or titanium pegs. They also hold up to street use as Liam Fahy-Hampton & Mick Bayzand inform me.

Shane Badman in Portugal

Shane just dropped me a report from his recent trip…

Hey Clint,

Just got back from the Remax Fieldcontrol contest in Portugal. It was held in Portimao in the far south of the country where the worlds and other big contests have been over the years. The guys put a lot of effort into the weekend constructing a massive tent over the riding area and putting down about 30m2 of ply floor. Picked up and dropped off at the airport, crazy parties and good friends and that’s not to mention how awesome the beaches are…

I got The Cube built just a day before leaving for the contest and didn’t really get a chance to ride it properly until the day of the qualifiers. Rode it like crazy and got used to it really quick. The frame is sharp and responsive, but also really stiff and with plenty of room in all the right places. Being light-weight, it’s super easy to move around and takes little effort to get this bad boy moving. It got a lot of really positive comments from the other riders and people were really stoked on its simplicity and function.

Qualifiers went well. Pulled most of my stuff during my run and even some new stuff that I’ve just learnt. I wasn’t around for the results, but Frank Lucas told me I got third – stoked!

Results were only scored down to 5th place so I’m not sure where I placed. Despite all this, had a really good time, got to ride at an awesome spot hung out with friends and made some new ones. The Cube did it’s job super well, people were psyched on it and now it’s time to go think up some new tricks to learn.

Shane.

Colony cranks?

I have been working on these for over a year & a half now & I thought it was time to let the cat out of the bag so to speak. These are our own special design from the spindle up.

Features include…

Factory pressed two piece design.
Full heat treated crmo arms & spindle.
Super hollowed out 19mm 48 splined spindle with crank bolt to match.
Prototype tested weight is 755 grams (1.66lbs) for arms & spindle, no Titanium involved so expect them to be affordable.

More info soon enough… release date September 2008.

Matt King on Colony flow

I have been helping out Matt King now for a while ever since he had a bike stolen a few years ago. When it came time to have someone test one of the first Bloody Oath frames I flowed one to Matt to test & it’s still going fine today.

Matt is now officially a part of the flow team for Colony & has just put together a Hell Stallion prototype frame to test for us. It looks pretty good we think… but check the pics yourself.

Matt also has a small section in the bonus footage of our new roadtrip DVD, ‘A Month In The Life Of’ I love watching Matt ride… such an awesome style. Check it out in stores everywhere in the coming weeks.

Oneway Pegs… getting around.

colonyonewaypegs.jpg

Our Colony Oneway pegs are turning up on all kinds of riders bikes & other companies product lines of late. Besides the whole Colony team who runs our pegs we have companies like Mirraco spec’ing some of their bike ranges with our renowed light weight design.

For 2008 you will see Ryan’s Mirraco Black Pearl Ltd with our pegs as well as Dave Mirra’s Blend Ltd & their new smaller sized Project bikes for kids with our Oneway patented design pegs. All these Mirraco bikes are limited to 100 production bikes. You will also see the Sect & Bloody Oath complete bikes from ourselves with these on them as standard for 2008 which are limited to 75 bikes for the world each.

Why you may ask? Well it’s simple. They are some of the lightest, unique designed pegs on the market today. The simple fact that they are thinner on the top & thicker on the bottom where you need it makes them a pure winner for the weight consicious riders out there. Check the diagram here for what I mean.

colonyonewaypeg1.jpg

They may be a little hard to find but that will soon change as our 2008 line is about to ship worldwide. Expect to see them back in stock at a shop near you sometime late in October.

MVP Frame out soon…

Dave Freimuth’s MVP frame will soon be shipping along with all our 2008 frames, including the Bloody Oath & new Sect. Check the products section for more details but here are some pics of the final MVP frame. The Purple shown is our first limited edition colour & will only be offered once on our frames. Get them while they last… All our 2008 frames are Full Post Heat Treated & should be available in most countries late October.
