Yes, the highly anticipated 24″ Wave C frame is now available!  We’ve made some updates to the original Model-C frame that make it even stronger and more agile. The chainstay length was shortened from 15″ to 14.6″ which will allow the front end to come up easier and make it easier for spinning tricks. All of our aftermarket frame features like Wave toptube and downtube, hollow dropouts with built in chain tensioner, removable brake mounts, cable channel, post-weld machining of the bb and headtube and 41 Thermal heat-treating can all be found on this frame.  Plus we’ve added more room to the frame by offering it in a larger 22″ size, so you’ll be able to get it in either 21.25″ or 22″.  This is one tough frame!  Check after the break for the frame specs and features.

For this installment of Sunday Friends, we are showing Josh Tracey‘s custom painted blue and red Wave frame from 2007.  I’m really into his unique paint job.  Great color combo!

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.

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!

Well not quite a Sunday ad, but Tony Resta sent me this creamsicle Wave frame ad that he made up.  Jacob George is doing the tuck in the photo and Riley Drew shot it.  It looks great to me!  I like that he put the 41-Thermal logo in the word bubble too!

Sunday introduced the Wave downtube at Interbike in 2007. This unique feature quickly became a centerpiece in our goal of bringing riders a frame that’s both strong and light. Surprisingly, a lot of people didn’t notice the Wave when we initially showed it at Interbike, and to this day some riders STILL haven’t noticed it. There are also riders out there that are unaware of how well the tube design really works. However, with that said, I have heard countless stories from Sunday frame owners about what their Wave downtubes have been through. It’s understood that the tube won’t take “everything” thrown at it (after all, it’s still just made of 4130 chromoly), but it will take a lot of the abuse that ordinary round tubes won’t, and once the downtube of a frame has been damaged, it’s only a matter of time before a new frame will be needed. At this point it’s been over two years since we began testing the original prototypes, so I figured that it was time to show some photos of what a Wave downtube looks like on the inside.
