Aaron Ross

"Yeah, I know, my bike looks cool" Aaron Ross on any given day to any young lady in any part of the world. That Ocean Blue colourway comes with matching bars, forks, and pedals. First week of 2009 peoples!

Glow PC's

We've had a lot of people asking about the colourways for the new 'Glow in the dark' PC pedals. Well here they are......coming the first week of January.

Funday, Monday....etc

Aaron Ross's signature Funday! frame is only a couple of weeks away from the UK. Holdtight London! Ocean Blue or Black for now.....more colors to come.

The Fino gripdown

Fly have their new grips up on a bunch of websites. They wont here 'til early 2009 but by the time Christmas is over they'll be nearly here.

"We wanted a thin grip but also durable so we designed this shape with thicker flanges and those cuts to make it grippier.

This funny set up of long grip with two flanges has a reason. This way you can cut it to the length you want up to two very long grips that even cover part of the bends. The shape is uniform so when you cut it, you don´t even notice it.

It comes with 2 of our nylon barends in black, grey, green and rubber."

Learn to speak......more Proper.

I'm not too sure if orange is the new purple or what but they both look pretty sweet.
This is the complete hub colour range as of now. Something for everyone I reckon.
These are the 36h rims....Proper also has 48h, 32h, and 28h available and chrome or white. I think there are still a few grey rims floating around also.
Same colours on the brakes.
This is the orange parts kit. Looking pretty hot.
Proper has bar ends in either nylon or anodised alloy (like you see here).

Brake cables. Not much else to say. Lime green is the latest colourway.

TTL bars feel perfect. Straight outta Tadley. 8.25" rise.

The Magnalite brakes have got amazing feedback and we had alot people asking for green.

Green hubs man!

Only a fool........

Kurt Rasmussen's bike is up on the Odyssey site....purple rain.

Breaking the law

Ilegal continue to bring the good stuff. IMG's first Pivotal. Simple and to the point. £19.95 a piece.

Yo Tom

Odyssey and FBM's Tom Blyth in Malaga. Nice!

New Proper Goodies

Witness the red colourway TTL. Damn.
New artwork from Jon Edwards....damn. TTL's are also lighter than ever on this batch!! 4.7lbs on the 20.8" model.

We've been waiting for the finished female hubs for what seems like an eternity. Glad is was worthwhile!!!

The front hubs are the tried and trusted versions. Looking splendid in purple.

The new team grips came out perfect. Notably softer than the samples.

Team forks are looking great in black or silver.....

More from Proper tomorrow!!

The Green Bar Stand

Okay so bars aren't all that environmentally friendly but at least our are CSPC approved, so if you're stuck without food for days and decide to chow down you should be okay. I'd recommend you stick to using them for BMX puposes though.

This is the Sunday Barbarino (aka Vinnie Sammon bar) in battleship grey. They also come in black or white.
These are Sunday! Forumph bars in white (kind of obvious I guess). This is basically the Triumph bar with 4 degrees of upsweep. Black, white, grey, or blue on those.

This is the latest limited Lumberjack colourway. We also have the regular black or white one.

Aaron Ross Space bars in black and white are also back in stock.

What's up at IMG?

Fly stems have been around for a little while but they're awesome, back in stock, and we're got a photo that you can add to your website if you like.

This is the Odyssey Aitken tanwall tyre in 2.25" and kevlar bead. In the fickle world on BMX tyres, this is about as hot as it gets.
Odyssey Monolevers are the best. Purple rain is a great colourway. Add the two together and you've got all the ingrediants for something special. These are nearly gone already!!!
Odyssey Elemtary stems won a design award from ID magazine. The V3 is an improvement on the award winning stem.
More tanwalls.......these are the Path streets (dual ply) and right below them is the new Chase Hawk (dark red) colourway Hazard Light rim. Nice!
Photographs of white hubs on white backgrounds eh? This is Odyssey's Vandero 2.
More Vandero 2's. This one is the last of the dark red colourway and it'll match the Hazard Light rim a treat (see below).

The first of many shipments this week

We had a ton of requests for the brake pads on Proper brakes to be made available separately.......so guess what? Yup. Available in any colour you want as long as it's clear and retailing for well under a tenner, these things will stop you on a dime.

Red or Dead

Odyssey built these custom wheels for Chase Hawk . We get these rims tomorrow and the spokes and hubs (the last few in red) are in stock (RHD only). Get on it!

Large Black Bike

This picture of Tom Blyth's Odyssey/GSport equipped steed appeared on FBM's website and our very own Barspin Ben got a bit excited in the similarity of colourways and broke out into a Flavour Flav moment.

Small Brown Bikes

Above: Brandon Pudai's new Fly Campillo and Below: Mike the Jersey Taylor's Sunday New Wave.

Sergio

This video of Fly Bike's Sergio Layos appeared on Thecomeup and I like the steez. It reminded me of BMX circa 2002....except the riding is ridiculous by any standard. Did you see that pocket air??????

Fly Colourways

Fly has released a bunch of pictures of there new frame colourways;

The Luna now comes in this Olive Green as well as the original Flat Black. Sangria is deleted.

Tierras now come in this Flat Purple and Flat Black. Flat Raw, Earth Brown, Nature Green, and Sky Blue are all deleted.

The Campillo comes in this trail friendly Flat Brown and park friendly Flat White. The Flat Raw is gone for good.

From the Mersey?

Mike 'Jersey' Taylor sent us this video a while back but we never got around to posting it.

Mike and Sunday!/Odyssey team mate Joe Cox left for Barcelona this morning to finish up filming for their sections on the Sunday! DVD. I hope you enjoy it - that Nailz guy is also on some sort of flow deal from Sunday!

WHC mixtape 1 from WHC on Vimeo.

Random

We don't usually post random music but I guess there is some BMX connection? Proper used a song Austin's from The Octopus Project on a previous issue of Props VM but mainly I just thought this video was cool. Click this for more ideas.

Don't show the Weaver!!!

Don't tell Mitch but David Lombard is here and he's got a new Weaver frame.....don't worry ours are on the way though!!!

Ligera Tyres

We got these Fly Ligera tyres in stock a week or so and managed to neglect them....never fear, here they are now and ready to ship.

Product Images

We get quite a few requests from shops asking for product images. With Odyssey's website changing to flash they've opened up a Flickr account where you can download all the new images. You can also access the old catalogue photos here.

Here's the new GSport spokes that'll be dropping at the end of the year.

Mix up look sharp?

The new Ride UK is about to drop. Look out for the Sunday! UK trip, Fly Bikes UK trail tour, and a bike check with Proper's Horsham based lothario Max Wood....oh and another (albeit cool) barspin on the cover.

Mike Aitken

5050bmx in Utah has a cool idea to help out with Mike Aitken's medical bills. Click here for more info on how you can help out Mike and possibly win the most dialed bike you could imagine.

If you want to keep up with Mike's progress then check here. I hope it goes without saying that we wish Mike a speedy recovery.

Posh wheels

Ben built this wheel (with a little inspiration from the LTF on Odyssey's Interbike stand) for Ride 24/7. Proper hubs, new gold Odyssey spokes, and a Purple Rain Hazard Light. Pretty suave if I may say so.
