Last year, we showed you the inside of a Wave down tube.  Now, with the soon to be released Third Wave (just over 3 weeks away), we are showing you the cross-section of the Wave down tube and our new Wave top tube.  These top and down tubes are custom drawn tubing shapes that are formed using the same manufacturing steps as a traditional, seamless, round bicycle tubes. The difference is that we’ve put the shape’s contour design to work for you. The tubes are drawn into shape with strategically formed Waves that run along the entire length of the tube. Now, if you’re not familiar with the functional purpose of the Waves, they’re designed to make the frame more resistant to the accidental denting damage that can occur when you’re riding.  While no bicycle tube is “dent proof”, these tubes have been engineered to withstand more abuse than a traditional round tube. After all, once a tube has been dented during riding, the strength of the frame’s front end has been compromised.  And it doesn’t matter whether the dent is on the top tube or down tube.  Included in the cross-section is the Cable Channel which can be found on the underside of the top tube.  The Cable Channel is used to partially hide the brake cable, and it also allows for the attachment point of the pressure fit cable guide.  For more info about how this cable guide works, follow this link. Choose wisely!

Garrett Reeves has been doing some big stuff around Austin this winter including this gap to wallride to big drop.  Unfortunately, he bailed off a big 180 drop over the weekend and landed really weird on his foot.  He ended up fracturing it about an inch in from his toes.  He’s currently on his way to the airport getting ready for his flight back to Baltimore.  It’s can’t be too much fun flying with crutches.  There’s an appointment with a specialist tomorrow, so let’s cross our fingers and wish him some luck on a speedy recovery.  Get well soon!  Photo Levi Brewer

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’s brief pictorial description of our new removable brake system that is available on the Third Wave, new Funday and Forecaster frames.  It is made up of 3 elements: Gyro tabs with screws, pressure fit cable guide and brake mounts.

1. The gyro tabs are your standard removable gyro tab.
2. The cable guide is really unique because it uses the cable’s tension to keep itself attached to the frame.  There’s a little tab welded in a channel that runs the length of the underside of the top tube.  The channel not only allows for a place to attach the cable guide, but acts to hide the brake cable too.  At the tab, the cable guide is installed from the front then the brake cable is installed like any normal braking system.  The tension created at the tab is enough to hold the whole system in place.  There’s no holes, no screws just a simple system.
3. Starting this year, all Sunday frames will come with removable brake mounts.  Remember all Sunday mounts are angled which is a Sunday original.  It is possible to attach the mounts in 2 ways: A 10mm wrench flat on the outside or a 4mm allen slot on the inside of the mount.  Put them on or take them off, either way the mounts attach super simple and super clean.

A Sunday Model C in Spain?  Yep, this is Iván Fariñas Soto‘s silver Model C kit.  You can see more photos of his bike including his custom Model C stickers, right HERE.  There’s also some photos of the bike in action over HERE. It’s really nice to see people enjoying the 24″ bikes around the world!

What the heck is this spot?  Either way Garrett Reeves has got some boost!  Photo by Scott Marceau/www.pushitastop.com. Enjoy!

Sorry, this is a little old, we have some catching up to do on posting our print ads.  Gary Young’s first Sunday ad!  Nothing like having a banger for a first ad.

Check out our buddy, Vince Smith, riding the Model C DEMO bike at Ray’s MTB.  Yeah, that’s right we have a demo bike at Ray’s.  So, next time you’re there go look for it and try it out.  Hurry, because their season ends in a little over a month.  Thanks Korey Kryder for the photos!

This is my favorite pool in Buffalo!  It might actually be my favorite pool ever because of how much speed you can get in this thing.  It’s only rideable for about  2 weeks out of the year and it’s usually in the spring.  This photo was shot by Brett Carlsen last fall which marks a first because it’s never been rideable in the fall.  This bunnyhop over the diving board block into the deep end thing was the scariest thing I’ve done in the pool.

Garrett Reeves returned to Austin and stopped by the office the other day to build up a new 20.75″ Black Magic Third Wave frame.  The new frame makes his bike look even tougher than it already does.  Garrett’s got some wild footage coming up this summer so be on the look out!
