Model C Geometry Approved!
The Sunday 24″ Model C was introduced at last September’s Interbike to a mix of fanfare and uncertainty. The biggest controversy was its geometry with its much higher bottom bracket and shorter rear as compared to other 24″ cruisers available. It took a lot to explain the ideas behind it as you might have seen in the Model C video edit in March and there’s even an FAQ about the Model C. The goal was to make a 24″ BMX bike that could do all the tricks a 20″ could do. Before the Model C, cruisers were race orientated and the thought of doing tricks on it didn’t really exist. Others in the industry claimed that since they were “a former top cruiser racer” that the Model C wouldn’t work. They basically said we didn’t know what we were doing. Sorry to say, but we’ve been approved by riders through out the world and from companies like We the People and Fit who’ve adapted the Model C’s geometry for their cruiser completes. It has been a great year since the last Interbike and I know it will be another great year with the introduction of our complete Sunday Model C next spring. So, not only can you get a high end frame and fork that is required by a skilled rider, but you will also be able to get started on a 24″ without spending too much money. Check below for some photos of the Model C since last Interbike.

Chris Hilbrich ad!
Chris Hilbrich, lettin' the hands fly on the Model D.
Austin’s own Chris Hilbrich graced the July 2009 Model D Sunday ad in Ride BMX. Chris is almost fully recovered from the broken thumb he got a month ago. He cut his cast off last Sunday and is back at it. In the ad, he had supporting help from myself riding the Model C. These photos were taken on the first day the Model C’s were built up. Not too bad for the first day riding a cruiser!
Fantasy Factory!
Check out Greyboy and Truly Odd representing during filming of Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory. There’s a whole episode is based around the Hercules sidehacks. I heard it has Mirra, Dyrdek, Grey, Truly and a bunch of the Odyssey guys in the episode. If you haven’t seen the Hercules Promo then check it out after the jump. The turn footage is the best!
Lil’ Tammy clips!
Lahsaan Kobza & tammy jane from tammy jane on Vimeo.
Lil’ Tammy has had some bad luck with knee injuries over the past year and a half, but he just had his last surgery. He’s working hard on his physical therapy and should be good in 6 months. He’s got a bunch of clips in the video from Kings Ride shop. He was suppose to be taking it easy between surgeries, but I don’t think it’s possible for any BMXer to just take it easy. Good luck with physical therapy Tammy!
Sun-Tang Forever!
James Brawn sent me a photo of his rawed Sunday frame with a Wu-Tang headtube badge! So psyched!
Fluorescent Yellow Funday!
Fluorescent Yellow Funday‘s have recently come available, so if you haven’t seen one in your local shop then have them give Sunday a call right away. If you don’t have a good local shop then call Empire BMX or Dan’s and they will be able to help you. In Canada, you will have to wait another week or so and the UK should have them now. These are will never be made again, so get it now!
