Gary Young spent the last week out at Woodward West for their annual Christmas break session. Here he is boosting over Chase, Bryce, Parker, Peirce, River and Tucker during the Pizza Jam. Not sure if you need a reminder, but Gary rips. Check out his part from Odyssey’s Electronical video after the break.

For today’s Sunday Friends, we have Sean Groce’s Aaron Ross Signature complete in which he added white Odyssey tires for his own twist. This looks amazing! It’s really nice to see a chrome Sunday.
Do you live in South Africa? Are you looking to get Sunday, Odyssey or G-Sport parts? Then go over to The Riot BMX in Northwold to pick up some stuff. The selection looks good from this photo and there’s a few more photos over on their site, so go check them out!
After posting a photo of Alex Magallan putting his Funday together on the Sunday Facebook yesterday, everyone was wondering about the color. We are always lucky to be able to get different/future colors for team guys and this is no exception. This color is the mint from the Aaron Ross Etnies bike just done as a frame color. Odyssey currently has a mint kit available and this frame would match it perfectly. Go back and check the Fu-Caster edit to see a clip of Andrew White riding a mint Funday as well. l
Go over to the Etnies site for your chance to win the Aaron Ross Triple Shot package! The package includes the Sunday/Odyssey/Etnies bike and a pair of the Aaron Ross Number Mid shoe that are shown above! Follow this LINK now! Good luck!
Remember that Sunday x Etnies shoe we showed you guys the other day? Well, we teamed up with Odyssey and Etnies to put together a three part video series with Aaron riding a bike that completely matches the shoe!
To see what we mean, watch our cut of The Aaron Ross Triple Shot!
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.
Anyone remember this guy? Some of you will remember the frame, but probably no one will remember the color. This is one of the OG Sunday frame prototypes that we received in the fall of 2005. We had 6 different metallic colors made including purple, blue, yellow, red, green and gray. When the frame was released in May 2006 only the red, green and gray colors made it to store shelves. There was even plans to have 2 different rear ends lengths, but BMX had made the change to short rear end lengths by that point.
Sunday frames came out boasting some serious features that hadn’t been done before. They are the only frames to use Odyssey’s proven 41-Thermal heat-treating process which makes Sunday frames some of the strongest frames out there.
The OG frame was the first to use hollow dropouts as a way to improve strength, but not increase the weight. Other companies were trying to make their bikes lighter by thinning out the dropouts, but doing that decreases the strength tremendously. Our dropout width was 8mm, but it was completely hollow in the center except for some support structures that prevented crushing. The hollow dropout doubled the strength, but still retained the weight of a normal dropout.
There are so many features going on with this frame that aren’t as obvious as hollow dropouts. It has post-weld machining of the bottom bracket and headtube, so your bearings fit perfectly every time. The brake mounts are angled to straighten out cable routing thus improving brake performance. Notice, we eliminate the sandwich on the top tube at the seat tube to keep side to side stiffness at its best. There’s more frame feature info on the last photo.
Compare the soon to be release Third Wave frame to this OG frame. Nearly every feature is still there, but yet we’ve improved upon them. There’s Wave tubing used for the top tube and down tube. Chain tensioners have been added to the dropout to keep your wheel in place. The new cable channel and removable mounts improve the looks of their frame, but still has the same quality braking. Things are just getting better and better. Look for more Flashback Fridays in the future.
First Sunday frame prototype in blue color that was never released.
Prototype sample stickers for clarification purposes only.
Welded on gyro tabs and no waves on any of the tubes.
Better view of the down tube. No waves.
The OG frame was the first frame with hollow dropouts.
We made samples in 14.25" rear end. Look how long the wishbone is!
One of the biggest adventures of my life began in the Spring of 2005. I started Sunday Bikes and we quickly became known for establishing new standards in frame design. Now, in 2010, my next big adventure is about to begin. I’m starting Full Factory, a new distribution company, that will become the sole distributor for Sunday Bikes in the USA. In addition to Sunday, Full Factory will also be the sole US distributor for Carlo Griggs’ UK-based brand, Proper Bikes.
