The newest Weezer album entitled Raditude came out in stores yesterday and guess what? The whole band is riding Sunday frames on the back cover! Rivers Cuomo is in the middle on the ocean blue Funday, Brian Bell is on the green Second Wave, Scott Shriner is on the red Wave and Buffalo native Patrick Wilson is bunnyhopping on the silver Model C. None of this could’ve been possible without Mark Lewman and DJ Greyboy. I know we were all stoked when we found out the news this morning!
ESPN had me answer some really good questions about the upcoming 2010 Sunday Complete Bike line which is scheduled to be in shops next April. We will be offering 3 different Funday 20″ models along with a complete version of our 24″ Model C. Look for a more thorough description of the whole line on our site in the next week or so. In the interview, I talk about the Funday PRO bike which is not shown in the above pictures. You’ll see it next week! Tell your shop to check these out too!
This is Jon Faure in the air aboard his Model C. He just built it up last week and is trying to sell off his other bike as we speak. I did an interview with him about getting his Model C and the switch to it from his MTB DJ. Plus there’s a special twist to the story. Read the interview after the break.
Tom Arkus spent a fun weekend at Ray’s MTB in Cleveland over the weekend. The weather turned up to be really good so he was able to hit up some trails too! If you haven’t been to Ray’s this year then you’ll need to go soon! The new jump room is a lot of fun and the transfer lines are unique and amazing! All the trail photos are shot by Jason Willis and all the indoor Ray’s shots are by Lukas Satas. View More
Craig Passero seemed to fire this edit out so quick! Which basically means he’s really good! Hard tricks done causally was my first impression after I watched it for the first time. Filmed by Chris Zeppieri and Bobby Whitely. Edited by Craig Passero! Enjoy!
This is awesome! Check out Dan Sirkin doing some flatland moves on his Model F….I mean Model C! Hitchhickers, wheelchairs, steamrollers and is that a forward Rope-e-roni? When he sent me the previous photos of his bike, he said he probably won’t do any flatland on it. But there’s no way to resist trying out all the tricks you know on this bike. He said “Just about anything is possible. It definitely spins a bit slow because of the big wheels but it holds straight lines and wide circles very well.” Now if we can just get someone to decade out of a wallride. Sounds like a webvideo contest to me!
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.
I’m not sure if anyone of us found any glory on Ride UK‘s Ride to Glory trip, but check out Aaron Ross, Joe Cox and Jim Cielencki on Odyssey‘s section of the trip. The trip was a lot of fun, the van was terrible, the weather cooperated most of the time, Road Chef wasn’t amazing, Rom Skatepark was amazing though, Liverpool wasn’t so sketchy, Aaron is addicted to IPhone games and we came in 4th out of 5. Trip was fun, but next time we need a working GPS and a van that shifts gears properly!
Reed Stark has been on the Sunday flow program since the beginning of the year. When he’s not tearing it up on the basketball courts, he’s out riding and filming edits like the one above which was filmed and edited by his brother Kyle Stark. Reed’s part in Team Dilly‘s It Do was amazing! Check it out HERE.
Dan Sirkin sent me a photo of his new Model C all built up! Dan’s a super good flatlander who goes way back into the Ohio scene. He even had a bio in the very last issue of Go Magazine back in 1992. Not sure if we’ll see any flatland on the Model C, I’m sort of hoping. Check out Dan’s shop, Solon Bicycle, if you are ever up near Cleveland.
We are going Eric Lichtenberger over load this week! Here he is double tire ride down a long, round rail from our Up, Up and Away premiere trip to Boston in May. This is the print version, the footage was in his September web EDIT. If you were at Interbike then most likely you were able to grab this as a poster. Otherwise you’ll have to use this as a wallpaper by downloading these links: Wide Screen or Standard Monitor. Photo by Jeff Allen.
Eric Lichtenberger had a bike check of his Third Wave prototype a few days ago, but we didn’t get to show you close ups of the Wave on the toptube. The photos aren’t the best, but you will notice a bunch of scratches and dings, but no major dents. The idea behind the Wave toptube is the same as the one for the downtube. Each small Wave is stronger and stiffer than a non-waved tube, it’s easier to dent a larger tube then a smaller one. We’ve been doing the Wave downtube since 2007 and it’s been proven countless times. If you dent either one then you significantly decrease the strength of the front end. The Wave toptube will only be offered on next spring’s Third Wave frame. Look for more photos of the Wave downtube including the cable channel on the underside next week! View More
