Mini Team Update
Here is a mini update on what is going on with the team, it is basically news from who I talked with over the last day or so!
Ian Schwartz-Is on his way to California or actually he is already there by now. He went out to film for the new
Lotek video and get out of the
winter in Ohio. If you didn't know, Ian is on Lotek now.
Jim Cielencki-I am off to
Estonia for the
POP Session Winter Bash 2006. You can actually see the live broadcast over the internet on the contest's website. It isn't suppose to be just a little webcam video, but the actual video that they play on the big screens at the event. The time difference from Estonia to the east coast is about 7 hours, so go check the schedule on the website and subtract 7 hours. Then tune to the site at that time and check out the event. It should actually be interesting because the course is built for skating too.
Mike Hoder-Is patiently waiting for his new frame to arrive. He is going on a
Shook trip from NYC to Miami sometime in February, so be on the lookout for that.

Other
Modifications - No brake mounts or guides, trimmed up the bottom of the fork dropouts to make axle grinds smoother, grinded the top of the stem flat and covered with stickers, no pins on one side of the pedals, rear hub is 48H but laced it to a 36H rim, grinded and modified inside of rear hub to allow for more slack and to make it lighter, drilled out and tapped the 14mm rear axle so I can use allen bolts instead of axle nuts.
Happy New Year!!!!
It has been 9 months since I left Kink and started Sunday bikes, there are so many people I would like to thank for making the last 9 months a success. My shop business partner JP who has to deal with me running around in circles trying to get whatever I can done. My friends from all over who believe in and want to support me, it means a lot. The team took a little time to come together, but this stuff takes time. To me every guy brings something really unique to the team, it is an honor to have them be apart of all this. Again this all takes time, so let me thank all the people who waited for products to come out. And all the riders unknown to me who run Sunday stuff, it is really appreciated. I know that I am forgetting some people, but you know who you are.
So, what is in store for 2006? First, off the frames should be arriving in April and should be a different view than the frames out now. New bars and some 990 mounted forks are also being released in the spring. Other stuff is in the works. One of my biggest goals is to showcase the team and come out with some sort of video. Like I said before it is an honor to have this team and I want everyone to understand why I put them on Sunday. Again thanks for your patience and support and we will see you in 2006.
Thanks,
Jim
