A huge sale usually means that something new is on the horizon. Unknown just dropped the price of their v3 trick frames to make some room which means now is you chance to swoop a dope freestyle frame for just over two bills. Hit their store to pick one up!

I’ve been watching Factory Five stuff for a bit and by the looks of it they make some solid stuff. Came across some flicks of one of their complete pits builds on their flickrrr and its looks pretty clean. That gray looks super good on a bike sometimes…this would be one of them. This is a sexy ass lugged track frame right here. Hit Factory 5 for more and to buy this ride if you dig it.

I’m finally getting up some of the stuff I got at interbike this year. For this year I tried to shoot some little supplement video interviews to accompany the photos of the products. Here’s the first one up from Concept bikes with some photos of their initial FGFS frame the Assassin. I hung out at the concept booth a bit during the event and had a damn good time getting to know everyone. As far as the Assassin I was pretty impressed with it. A lot of companies that dive into fixed freestyle take a shot in the dark initially before getting things right and having a solid product. The Concept crew seems to have skipped most of that and have an almost finished FGFS frame that just needs a few little tweaks that are apparently already in the process of being completed.
Things I liked about the frame? Steep head tube and seat tube angles for an aggressive ride. The wishbone chain stays looks pretty unique as well. There’s mad tire clearance and once they clean them up (as planned) I’m sure its going to be killer. There’s also going to be a complete bike build option from Concept in a way quite different from other companies. They’re going to give customers the option to take advantage of some deals on parts from other companies and allow you to pick out parts for your whip. If they can get you what you want at a discount then you save some deniro and get exactly what you want from the get go rather than replacing parts down the line. Anywho, check the interview below and a full set of the Assassin below after the click!

Alrighty…these have been in the works for some time now and I’m way stoked that the Butcher V2s have landed stateside. I’ve ridden and tested this beast for over a year now and mine is still rolling strong! New toptube, 14mm drops and massive tire clearance on these. This is one solid all around bike be it fixed freestyle, polo or just cruising that your getting into. I should be getting a fresh frame here soon so be on the lookout for a full bike check video and some photos. In the meantime hop over to Eighthinch and grab yourself one! If you hop on it now you also get a free Butcher shirt with your order to keep you covered form this summer sun. Annnd be on the lookout for something else from the Eighthinch crew here soon

Peeped these shots of Jason’s custom paint LDG on the Macaframa bloggy just now. This is the whip you’ll see him on this weekend at Ride and Style. I’ve always had a soft spot for fade paint jobs…rocked a few myself. Looks clean!

Caught these shots of Matt Spencer’s new build on Trick Track. There havent been too many Leader‘s that ive liked but this one is winning me over a bit…massive clearance and what looks to be a solid geometry.
