Here’s a few shots of Gary Young‘s new bike set up. He’s currently riding the new Forecaster frame with 75 degree headtube and 13.25″ rear end. You can see video of him riding at the FISE contest and on the Vans Wheels of Rock tour! The Forecaster is available now at your local shop or mail order. If your shop doesn’t have it then tell them to call our distro Full Factory so they can order you one. Enjoy!
Aaron Ross has been traveling for the last 2 weeks, but he’s making his return to Austin this weekend. Go over to Fat BMX to check out a full bike check of his watermelon Funday bike. Look for the frame, fork and bars available in about 2 weeks! Both Odyssey and Sunday will have bars and forks in the watermelon green! Get ready! Check out Aaron on this bike in the Empire Cake video.
Here’s some photos of Lee Dennis‘ new Black Magic Third Wave bike with Morning 2.1 forks and the soon to be released Tall T Bars. If Sunday had a Tougher than Nails contest then Lee would be the front runner right now after his fall in Austin this past January. It was shown in his last web edit, you can see it HERE. Be warned that it’s not pretty. Either way he’s made a dramatic recovery and is sitting in wonderful Barcelona with the rest of the Primo team. Enjoy!
Here is Aaron Ross‘ latest watermelon themed Sunday Funday bike that was on display at the Odyssey booth during last fall’s Interbike show. He’s always got a wild idea and this one is no exception. He’s been shredding it on this bike for quite awhile now, so you can see some of the wear and tear. Awesome photos by Devon Hutchins.
Tom Arkus has a bike check and Q&A over at Fuel TV. We have some extra bike photos of him above from when he was in Austin this past month. Not much has changed though between now and then other than some different stickers. Click HERE to see his Q&A and bike check.
Ride BMX has my bike check up on their website. Jeff Z took a bunch of good photos while we were on the Sunday Swine Flu tour after Interbike. There isn’t too much new on the bike besides running a pivotal seat and post for the first time. The frame is an experimental Funday with traditional dropouts and only heat-treating on the Wave downtube. Not sure what will happen with this frame, but we just wanted to test out a lower priced frame and see how it would hold up.
Here is Gary Young‘s built up Third Wave prototype! We just announced he that he got on Sunday yesterday, but he’s been riding this bike since just after Interbike. His quote was “This feels so good! The geometry makes simple stuff like manuals and bunnyhops so much easier” Hopefully we’ll have a web video of Gary in action on the bike. Check below for his parts list!

Here is the Fluorange Funday I just built up to try out some new dimensions. I’ve been riding the my 24″ Model C for 2 months now and it was time to change it up and ride a 20 for a little while. I put together the Funday because of its 13.5 rear end length and the 11.5 inch bottom bracket height. The idea is that the lower bb will keep the bike stable and not too loopy while still allowing it to tailwhip and spin better. I grew up riding long rear end frames so having something this short is foreign to me. Hopefully the lower bb will counter act the short rear end. If not then its back to the Second Wave. I’ll update you over the next few weeks. Here’s my parts list below.
Chris Hilbrich just built up a silver Model D with Black Magic Morning 2.1 forks and Black Magic Triumph bars. He went over to Peter Pan Mini Golf in Austin to shoot these photos for this bike check. In other Chris news, he was recently on the Gypsy Tour about a month or so ago. And if you’re at any ABA Nationals around the mid west then you might see Chris tearing up the track. In fact, you’d see a number of people racing on Sunday bars and forks if you look close enough.
Two video posts in one day?! The new iPhone has video capabilities now and we decided to play around with it. While visiting Austin, we used it to film a bike check with Aaron Ross and his new Fluorange Funday!
