Let's start off with the fact that the frames have finally made their way into Europe. Bodo from
Sport Import in Germany wrote me yesterday that part of the frame shipment has arrived. So, if you live in Germany, get your frames quck because the partial shipment won't last long.
More 'International' news, Sunday Bikes and

Jim's Bike!
Here is a photo of what my bike looks like today. I put one of the gray frames together for the gyro tabs, but as you can see there aren't any brakes, so no gyro. I haven't killed myself yet and my bike has never been quieter! Check back, there will be more photos of the rest of the team's bikes who incidently are all riding gray frames. Well maybe not Mike Hoder because he changes the color all the time. If you want to learn how to do double peg grinds without pegs, then check out what Mike has to say
