L-l-l-levers

David Bowie never wrote about brake levers but that's probably because Fly levers weren't around when wearing silver jump suits was cool. Tierras are also back in stock along with all your Fly favourites.....Tierra Grande's are now obsolete but for all the people asking for them - Steve at Lifer BMX has a flat red 21" left in stock.

New Proper Site

Proper Bike Co's new website is (at long last) starting to appear in various countries around the world as we speak. This one has an RSS feed so you can keep updated and definitely has more help for dealers with all sorts of product photos to download.

Grip Fest '09

Unlike most other festivals Grip Fest is unaffected by England's poor climate and doesn't cost a fortune. In order to gain entry to Grip Fest this year to need simply purchase a pair of Limited Edition Odyssey grips like these Aaron Ross signature ones. We can't promise Blur will be reforming at Grip Fest but these grips will quickly reform to their original shape if you squeeze them hard on account of their exceptionally soft rubber. We can't promise that these grips will help you win the Dew Tour either but they won't do any harm.

There's Team Grips as well......not much to say about those. Aaron Ross is far more entertaining.

Adam Banton plays guitar......and his signature grips are thick. I'm pretty sure the guitars are a visual representation of Adam's personality and the thickness isn't.

Mirraco in the UK!!

I'm fairly certain most people have heard the news by now but IMG has a new brand onboard (our first to offer complete bikes). We've looked at other brands in the past but Mirraco has great specced bikes at great prices. Stock is arriving in Pagham as we speak so you can now order an Icon alongside PC pedals, Magnalite Wheels, Tierra frames, and Plegs.

Flouro Pink and Ocean Blue

If Little Tom saw this he'd probably say something like "Oh my!".....coming soon!!!

You know you do!

Chase Hawk signature grips from Odyssey - available the first week of July in the UK. Watch 'em fly!!

The JC/PC Pedals are half white, half black. I run the pins on the white side flush for pedal grinds. I also run a white half on that side so I always know what side is the grind side.

As for the bars, they are exactly Lumberjacks, with 4 deg. of up sweep, making them 8.6" tall. Your hands are in the same position, your wrists thank you for the up sweep.

The Weight for all of those wondering: 22.8 lbs.

Simon over at Sibot sent us this picture of an Aaron Ross themed complete they are building up. Wild!
