News Update!
Let me start with the frames, although it has taken a little bit, the Sunday frame is going to available at you local shop or mailorder between May 30-June 2. Be careful, I think they are going to go quickly, most of the mailorders are having prebooks, so be warned.
There has been some concern about the minimum price of the Sunday frame. As well as the pricing of a Taiwanesse frame vs an American frame. Take a high-end Taiwan frame at $290 dollars and add forged hollow dropouts, post-weld BB and HT machining, specialty paint, rust-proofing, no visible exterior vent holes and 41-Thermal processing. The price has to go up to reflect these changes. In this case it has increased by approximately 40 dollars. At $330 dollars, these features are a bargain.
Now do the same thing to a $320 dollar US frame. Add the forged hollow dropouts, post-weld BB and HT machining, specialty paint, rust-proofing, no visible exterior vent holes and 41-Thermal processing. The price will increase substanitally. My guess is that it will have a final minimum price of $390 dollars or higher.

First, Karl Poynter got 2nd place at the recent Baco Jam in Wisconsin. He sounded surprised all his tricks worked, he also used his luck to get out of a speeding ticket on the way home. So congradulations go to him, who would have thought we would have a contest rider on the Sunday team?
Karl at the winner’s stand and behind the wheel!

Speaking of Germany, our distributor over there, Sport Import, is sponsoring the first major contest of the summer called Highway2Hill. It is being held at Mellowpark, I believe this is the same place that they had the Rebel Jam last year.
I did a little interview thing for Databmx from France. It is cool because it is in 2 languages, but no I do not know French.
