Off to Trick or Treat Jam!
Yep, we are leaving for Rochester in a little bit to go to the
Red Bull Trick or Treat Jam at the old armory on Main St.
Karl Poynter,
Kevin Porter,
Lil' Anthony and myself are heading out to meet back up with
Jeff Z and
Aaron Ross. None of us have jumped a coffin or rode a Hearse before so this should be fun. Oh and
Reez set up a fog machine too! Not sure if its a legal fog though! Haha! See you there!
Karl Poynter Second Wave!
Check out
Karl Poynter's new colorway. We took a
Sunday Second Wave frame with all the super good features and let Karl come up with his own paint job. What he did was use a
coral red just around the top tube/seat tube junction and have the rest of the frame be
Black Magic. Then we played off his name sort of by using arrows for the decals. Look for this early next year. Check out more photos of the frame below.
Eric L Bike Check and New Ian Color!
Eric Lichtenberger stop by the office for a pair of pedals and ended up leaving with a new bike. We showed this
2009 Ian Schwartz which is the first frame to have a built in Pivotal Post as our display bike at
Interbike and it looked so good that Eric decided he'd like to ride it as his own. To be honest this is my favorite color that Sunday has ever done. The
color is basically
Post-It Note yellow and we were suppose to do a color similar to this for the original
Wave frames that came out 2 years ago. I know it says 2009 colorway, but it should be available at shops by the first week of November so be on the look out. More frame info coming soon!

More Model-C questions and random photos!
Okay, here is a few more random photos that I just found from the weekend I built up my
Model-C. It was fun just dorking around on it and it was even more fun when you realized everything was possible on it. Just a few more questions.
1) If you had to choose 2 top tube lengths to offer which ones would it be?
2)From the sounds of it, you guys aren't interested in a 21", would this be correct thought?
Please leave all the answers in the comments section! Thanks again!

More Model-C pics!
Here's a few more photos of the
Model-C's built up. Nothing too detailed, but you should be able to see the frame, fork and bars a little more. At the bottom are a few photos taken by
Ron Plumlee.
Sunday Model-C
So,
Interbike has come and go for another year. Thankfully it will be another year before we do it all again and unfortunately its only a year before we have to do it again. Either way I wanted to take this week and talk about some of the products we showed at our booth.
New this year is Sunday's version of a cruiser called the
Model-C, but luckily it doesn't come anywhere close to riding like a traditional racing cruiser rather if feels more like a larger version of a normal 20" BMX bike. Along with this frame, we made
24umph bars(7.25" rise) and
Morning 24.1 forks which are just
Morning 2.1 forks built into cruiser forks.
To be honest it was an experiment to see if we could make a cruiser more freestyle. So, immediately after Interbike, we put the frames together and discovered that our intuitions were correct. You could do basically every trick on it that you could do on a normal BMX bike. It was even possible to loop out with a rear end at 15.25". Rolling fakie was way more stable due to the longer wheelbase and the headtube at 74.5 degrees. Jumping was made easier by the larger wheel size and the longer wheelbase. We took it to varied terrain including 7ft minis, cement parks, wooden skateparks and my local college campus. Did slides, whips, jumped hips, manualed, picked, grinded, fuf-ed, spun, spun more, hangovered, hang-5ed, nose wheelied, crankslide, doubles runs, but alas no flairs or flips yet. It's been a lot of fun and it's more fun seeing the smiles on people's faces after they would take it for a test ride.
DIMENSIONS:
Top Tube 21 Rear End 15.25
HT 74.5 ST 71
BB Height 13.75"
FEATURES: Mid BB, post-weld machining of the BB and HT, angled brake mounts, traditional laser cut dropouts, Non-Waved downtube, Director fork styled wishbone, Black Magic rustproof coating and 41Thermal heat treating,
We are still in the testing stages, so these options and dimensions might change. The frames, forks and bars will be available sometime in the spring. There isn't any release date set yet. Any input then leave it in the comments section!
