MK Green Aitken Pivotal

Some things just look right. Case in point. This Mike Aitken signature pivotal seat. The body comes in Odyssey's MK Green colourway, the cover in black.

The Birdcage

GSport dropped a hammer with these new rims. At 408 grams with is our lightest rim and you get GSport's legendary quality control, so you know they're gonna last.

Pomegranate

These are the last items in the Pomegranate kit. The Classic Race Fork CS2, Chase Hawk sprocket, Hazard Lite rims, and GY3 (Gary Young's signature bars). Hot for Summer.

Domingo!

The new product is still arriving thick and fast;

• We have Bluwave and FX Green Morning 2 forks to match the current frame and bar colour ways.
• Same deal with the new seatclamps. These also come in Orange Soda to match the Funday frames.
• Triumph bars are now 8.5" rise and have been re-named the Triumph XL.
• 24umph bars are now available to match the Wave C frames or as upgrage for your Model C complete.

Remember all aftermarket frames, forks, and bars from Sunday carry a lifetime warranty.

Odyssey Spares

Seems like riders have all sorts of considerations when it comes to what parts they buy; Price, availability, strengh, what the pros ride, recommendations, even colours. One thing we rarely here mentioned is availability of spare parts. Thankfully we have that covered as well.

Incoming

More from the Odyssey Pommegrante Kit. The affordable Quadrant rims, the awesome headset, the ubiqutous V3 casessete hub, and the classic CFL stem.


Sunday now offer their bars in FX Green and Bluewave to match the frames. Pictured here are the blue Tall T bars and FX Green Triumph XL's. Yep, Triumphs XL's are bigger with 8.5" of rise.




GSport Birdcages are the new rim. Featuring a narrower profile, more erogonomic profile and lighter weight than previous GSport rims but all the quality you've come to expect. Above is the Ratchet hub in limited Army Green.

Sundy Catty Scout Edit

The guys at Catty Woods and Sunday joined forces for this edit to mark the last Sunday Bonus bike for this year.

Sunday Bikes in Rotherham

Fosters have been killing it with their Watermelon Aaron Ross bikes. This is the last one of four after only a couple of days. Be quick if you're looking for any of the Bonus bikes.

Catty Wood Bonus Bike Extra

See above for a flip book featuring the Catty Woods Scout Bonus bike from Sunday.

You can read all about the trail scene that spawned this bike here......similar stories exist all over the UK, so it should make for some interesting reading......and hopefully explain a little of while builders and locals have to have to have rules.

Harry Main Edit

Oh my. Harry Main throwing the b's where it's not possible and the boost button firmly pressed.

24 inch

Joe Rich bike check

Joe Rich posted up this bike check. Not too disimilar from Fraser Peek's the other day......... except Joe runs a ton of Fly Bikes parts and a few from Odyssey.

Petersfield Jam

Benny Boy was going for gold in the bunny hop contest but that lad in the blue sweatshirt behind him stealthed in and took the crown. Dan Beauchamp won best trick for 360ing into the deep end of the bowl with broken arm.

South Coast legend Thee Isaac Clarke managed to remain fairly restrained. These downwhips were pretty cool though.

Ben Mark photos.

Bonus#3 The Catty Woods Trail Scout

Obviously (being a homage to some of PA's favourite trails) this bike is built for roasting around in the woods. The specs include a Odyssey Top Load stem, Aitken Knobby tyres, 27t gearing, Aitken seat, and an Odyssey Monolever. More details to follow.

Fosters

We have a last minute substitution on the Watermelon Aaron Ross Sunday Pro bikes. Leaping off the bench in style of Berbatov, Owen, Solskjaer or (for the even more senior reader) flame haired eighties legend David Fairclough we have Fosters in Rotherham.

If you are looking for one of the one of the bonus bikes contact Fosters (Watermelon only), Sibot, Brighton BMX Co, Crucial BMX, Grind BMX, Evans, BMX Box, or Winstanleys.

Hardcore Hobbies Jam

Sunday Bonus

Boom. The Aaron Ross signature Funday Pro in Waltermelon is about to drop. It's based around (and in some ways more dialled than) Aaron's personal bike. The details are nuts....watermelon PC pedals with pink end caps. Check here for all the details.

Fraser Peek's Antipodean Bike

Fraser is currently in Australia checking out what's on offer down under. He's off to Salt Lake City in a few days and then New Zealand. Alright for some. Fraser's no nonsense bike is a Barcode with mainly all Odyssey parts; Aitken seat, Burlington, Twombolts, Trailmix, Bluebird, SLS cable, Race forks, Lumerjacks etc etc.

Texas Toast x Aitken

I guess some people underestimated the determination of Mike Aitken. So good to see.

Sunday Bonus Bikes

This is the Alex Maglan Signature Maximum Destruction Ex complete from Sunday. It's ready to rip right out the box, check the specs. It features a bunch of parts in exclusive colour ways and bunch of cool little details. This is the first in a series of three and is only available at the following Sunday dealers;

Brighton BMX Co, Crucial BMX (Bristol), BMX Box (Sunderland), Grind BMX (Swanley), Evans Cycles, Sibot BMX (Horley), and Winstanleys

We'll have more on the additional two bonus bikes next week. Treats in store!!

Van Homan just posted up bike check on the Fit site. Check the GSport Birdcages/Ratchet/Marmoset combo, Odyssey Trailmix, and Fly brake.

Petersfield Bowl Jam

There's a jam at the new Petersfield Bowl this Sunday. Get on down there if you fancy winning some goodies, or simply heckling the afternoon away. It's right off the round-a-bout near Churcher's College.

IMG at The Pool

There's a few decent clips here from our trip to Nike's The Pool.

SeasonBikes new video

SeasonBikes AW & JC Brotherhood from Season Bikes on Vimeo.

Check out the Lifer BMX store in Tavistock Devon. Steve Wilson doing things right in the land of the Ginster's pasty.

"Tony Hawks"

We supplied a bunch of bikes to Nike 6.0 for use at The Pool. Here's an interview in which you can gather that the Mirraco's are light and have good brakes....and also that Tony Hawks is the best rider. For more on the No7 click here.

Sergio Grips

Not quite out now......coming real soon.

More from The Pool

More from the pool........Wickham Will is a bit of a dark horse. Also a stand up guy. Thanks man.

Man down

Ben was having a pretty good birthday at The Pool yesterday until this happened. Broken cheek bone, broken/lacerated nose, and two black eyes later he was in A&E trying to get his nose back to somewhere like normal.

Please bear with regarding any warranty queries and wheel builds.

Thanks to everyone who showed up. It was a treat to meet some new people and catch up with some old friends.

The Pool

It was good to see so many friends at the weekend. I'm pretty sure you would have struggled to have a bad time. Above you'll find Harry Main with a flair drop on off the Elvis ramp.

Here's Ruben's team after winning the best line. Tom Dugan, Kevin Kalkoff, and Sergio were never likely to win but they were the most fun to watch with plenty of bike control, smoothness, and an awesome train.

Kyle Baldock Bike Check

Mirraco's Kyle Baldock has this Vital bike check up today. I'm pretty sure Kyle is in Essex about now for Nike's Pool event. It seems like a lot of shops have a crew headed to see that even. Here's who you can look to see representing IMG brands;

Tom Dugan, Chase Hawk, and Sean Sexton (Odyssey)
Ruben, Kevin Kalkoff, KP, and Sergio (Fly Bikes)
Van Homan and Randy Brown (GSport)
Kyle Baldock (Mirraco)
Joris Coulomb (Proper)

Power gloves

It's amazing what you learn trying to write vaguely amusing captions....get this Turbo B out of Snap "I've got the power" is still kicking about. You can book him for your function right here. Anyway, these full-length gloves feature gel palm inserts with a silicon palm grip. The fingertips are re-enforced to help make them last.

You can get them in Brown/Red, Blue/Orange and Black/Yellow. Available in extra small, small, medium, large and extra large.

Aitken Hell Bent Gloves

Boom shack-a-lack. These Aiken fingerless gloves are now in the UK. Mike wanted a fingerless style glove that would allow him to have some contact with his brake lever, give him some good grip and help him look even more bad-ass while driving his car.

Hellbent gloves feature a padded palm, perforated top and Mike’s signature “diamond” graphic on the strap. Available now in Black or Brown in medium, large, and extra large.

New Fly frames

We just received a new shipment of Fly Bikes frames (and parts) in new colourways and featuring the EBS brake system (learn more about that below). The frames are also a little lighter for 2011.


Here is more on the EBS system.


Here's KP ripping a skatepark on his new Tierra.


Here's Stephan Lantschner (in a split edit with Simone Barraco) putting his Montana through it's paces (that's the other new colourway).

Tom Blyth has an interesting interview up on BMX Union here.
