So The Come Up leaked this info awhile ago and I’ll confirm it now.  Karl Poynter has decided to leave the Sunday team.  I’ve been a fan of Karl’s unique view on riding ever since he was that 13 year old kid at the Four Seasons contest in Milwaukee back in 2001.  This explains why he was selected to be one of the first guys on Sunday when it was started almost 4 years ago.  Its been a great 4 years and I’m definitely going to miss him.  Wish you luck Karl!  Check out Karl’s words about moving on from the team after the jump.

RideBMX has a really good Sunday Model C 24″ bike check and mini interview with me on their website.  In the interview, I discuss some of the similarities and differences between riding a 20′ and 24″ BMX bike.  Some Model C progress has been made, Odyssey Hazard Lite rims showed up at their warehouse today along with Morning 24.1 forks and 24umph bars.  We won’t be releasing them yet for quality control reasons and we are still waiting on the frame arrivals which should be within a month.  All of these photos were shot while I was California a few weeks ago.  Look for some clips of the Model C in action sometime in the next few days.  Probably sooner once I find a song I like!

A few posts back, we showed some photos of some Model C and Model D prototypes that arrived at the office.  Jim Bauer is one of the lucky ones who gets to build one up.  Here’s two photos of him riding at the DVS warehouse a last night.  One and Two.  I’m sure with Jim on one of these things, there are a lot more wild photos to come.  Will we see another Death Gap?  Think I’ll just settle for this!  If you are into bikes like the Model C then go check out Cruiser Revolution for more info.

A few days ago, I was riding back from watching the Sabres game when I happened upon this random construction pile of mess. These spots are the best because they only last for a short period so you have to make use of them right away. It was cold as hell outside, not sure how that works cause hell is generally thought of as hot. Either way the cold alleviated my tendinitis long enough for my friend Jay to shoot a couple of random shots. The pile might be there tonight, I’ve got my fingers crossed.

Here are a few photos of me riding the Model-C right after Interbike. I couldn’t run them without getting into trouble, but now I don’t have to worry about that anymore! Look for an update release date for all the new 2009 frames.

Okay, here is a few more random photos that I just found from the weekend I built up my Model-C. It was fun just dorking around on it and it was even more fun when you realized everything was possible on it. Just a few more questions.

1) If you had to choose 2 top tube lengths to offer which ones would it be?
2) From the sounds of it, you guys aren’t interested in a 21″, would this be correct thought?

Please leave all the answers in the comments section! Thanks again!

Here’s a few more photos of the Model-C‘s built up. Nothing too detailed, but you should be able to see the frame, fork and bars a little more. Action photos taken by Ron Plumlee.

So, Interbike has come and go for another year. Thankfully it will be another year before we do it all again and unfortunately its only a year before we have to do it again. Either way I wanted to take this week and talk about some of the products we showed at our booth.

New this year is Sunday’s version of a cruiser called the Model-C, but luckily it doesn’t come anywhere close to riding like a traditional racing cruiser rather if feels more like a larger version of a normal 20″ BMX bike. Along with this frame, we made 24umph bars (7.25″ rise) and Morning 24.1 forks which are just Morning 2.1 forks built into cruiser forks.
