That job only lasted a week. 2 many black eyes in the crowd, so they fired me!!!

and more goodness

ok, It's official, when I do come down to buying a cruiser it's getting powdered that red color. That has to be the sexiest powder color I've seen to date.

Got my Maxxis foldables mounted today 20x1.95 front / 20x1.75 rear. so damn lite!!! maxxis race tubes also. Also got some ODI subliminal comfy grips, forks and bars being made, then my freewheel shipped, atomlab pimplite pedals on the way also and im building my racer!! Still wondering what to do with cranks?

And hope Rob is working on my new plate design. 2 Fav hobbies combined!!! 1-plate NBL, 1 plate for ABA.

Look into getting one of those new profile bottom brackets for your flights. External bearing flight cranks.

PROB MORE THEN I WANT TO SPEND!

JR Has them, they are like 60 bucks. Worth every penny if you ask me.

Profile external bearing bottom bracket
snap 4 bolt spider
rennen or snap 4 bolt chain ring
flight cranks


Now that would be a sick mix of old school/new school...

SENT YOU A EMAIL BRANDON

MR ROB JOHNSON

Here is a Cam phone spy pic of your frame!!!

Looks dope!!!



Later tonight I will have some NEW EXCITING NEWS FROM SBC......

My frame is coming with free forks, bars and a stem?? That's freaking awesome Nick. AWESOME!!!!

So I was talking with Rick today about all the OLD frames he has laying around, from pro riders, warranty, testing, exc.. Maybe looking at around 150 frames. Depending on what they are, we may start to sell them from $25-up each! Thats right $25-up each.....

But......




The catch is. For that price what we are doing is selling you the frame, and then we charge you to referb it. Lets say one has a Messed up dropout. The frame cost $25.00. Cost $60ish to replace the dropout, and then $ to powder it. You could have $125.00ish in a LIKE NEW redone old frame.

(Sorry not just going to sell a frame for $25.00 outright, deal is to referb them)

We have Mini's, 100R's, and all the way up to the bigger bikes. This will get a bunch of old collectable SBC's out and rocking again, and help people who want a SBC, but cant spend the $ for new.

We will be making a list up as we go and post it here..... SO PLEASE WAIT TO ASK WHAT WE HAVE UNTIL WE POST A LIST. You maybe suprised what we dig out of the vault.

But if this is something it seems like you may want to get in on, post your feedback. What I will do is make a list of what we have with prices, what is wrong with it, and so on. Then you can pick what you want, we will quote to your wants and go from there...

So if this sounds good, Give me a YES and lets see what we can get rolling. ALOT OF HISTORY that can be on the tracks again..

Thanks

Nick

sounds great, but i want an advanced copy so i can call dibs on the ones to fit my boy from now (80r) up to the 125r w/ 21.5 tt
trailboss' are good too! for me of course

Count me in for an expert sized 100R when this takes place. Might as well get the whole family on Standards.

That is FREAKIN' SWEET!!! , Hey wait a minute.....who is holding my frame without gloves on....that's just WRONG.... Seriously, I can't wait to tag it out and build it up...... Just to let you guys know I just order a whole ton of that special clear plate material..... Jerry over at Mania is sending me a set of TRP "Donny Robinson" white ti brakes to go it.... I got a few more parts that are coming in for this one...

You're gonna love those dR brakes. I had them on my Clayborn until I swapped them for DXR's. I honestly though the dR brakes were twice the brakes that the DXR's are. I just wish the dR's came in a color other then white. Awesome brakes regardless. Did you get the Carbon or Magnesium lever?

hey nick, do you think its time yet to tell brandon where his frame really came from and what needed refurbed before it got that nice new powder done on it?

as Rick said a page or two ago..


I will kill you all.

Ditto that. I'm the happy owner of Brandon's DRs at this very moment. They look space age on my 125r. Mmmmmm.

BTW Rob, that frame is going to make for a sweet machine for sure. Hopefully, you'll be able to rub out all of the touchy-feely fingerprints from gawkers/admirers with some turtle wax.

BTW BTW, Rob, you had a white UFO cruiser late 2008, didn't you? I think that's what you had when you and I met down at Falcon in CT. (or maybe I've gone nutty...very possible.) I was the dorky noob on the gold Redline cruiser.

Oh and Nick, I say hell yes! post that list. Good frames need good homes. Call it "Standard Rescue."

Cheers,
b.

Brad, that UFO is actually a "Simple" made frame...when I ordered it there was a mix up... I ended up with a prototype frame... Pro XL front end welded to a expert (literally) rear triangle... I have DR brakes on my Cruiser... and I am getting the carbon lever...again with this set... I love them... I remember you now....how'd you do last season...??

Dont worry brandon, it is a NEW FRAME. It has only been to the UK once!!!

Did you guys know that if you get a SBC from me cheap, its because you have to send me your old frames? fine print..............

Now what would someone loyal to SBC want with a Clayborn?

Yeah, I remember you had 1.5s on that puppy to make clearance on the back end. That was a sweet bike. Obviously you're partial to white frames, eh? I'm drawn to black for some reason [insert darth vadar breathing noises...].

I had a total blast last season. I missed most of summer with an L5S1 problemo, but managed about 13 races and landed in the #4 slot in ABA MA01. Once that goes final, you know I'll be hitting you up for something special to commemorate things. I know it's nothing big, but for a guy who wasn't sure he could even make it all the way around a track after a 26 year lay-off, I'm really proud of how things went in 09.

Funny Standard story in there, btw. While hurt last summer, I played around with a used Standard 125r cruiser (eBay find), thinking it would be something I built up for trashing around the neighborhood. After about 5 minutes on the pedals, though, I decided to sell my chromo Staats and make the Standard my race rig. I only got in 3 races on the Standard at the end of the year, but that old black beauty responded with a 3-0 win record. Cobra Power!

b.

Making progress on my new racer

It's rainin men.. hallelujah... it's rainin men... hey hey...


on a more serious note, loving how the standard looks so far. I'm gonna post a pic of the pile of parts that I have on my floor in the basement sometime tomorrow once I get everything all cleaned up. Then I'm gonna post teaser pics the entire time I'm building my bike (which will probably last about an hour since I'll be so excited it will get whipped together super fast)...

gee I step away from the puter for a couple days to go racing and come back to a couple of army bros singing love songs to each other. A really cool Save a Standard program. Another cool pinup plate (even thou its not a Standard plate.

Well the Tribar got some real hard looks at both the frame and the color, I got lots of questions and kool comments. I have to say that it got broke in right. I took the hardest crash I've had in a long time, everything survived coming out with just a few scratches. Everything except the back wheel I dont think I'm going to be able to save it this time, pics will follow in the next day or so when Mike gets the bugs out of the pic hosting site.

Rob I will be sending some girls your way for a couple more plates. Idont see an issue with the pinup girl plates as long as they are kept clean. I got several comments on mine along with the matching seat stickers.

Scott,


You can miss this thread for more then a day. It gets crazy!!!

You see Nick's avatar picture? That's his coverup-wife modeling one of his shirts.

STAY TUNED

For more MORE SBC goodies and deals to come!!

Brandon all I'm going to say is she looks good in the Standard wear. I'm not sure I want to see Nick in his girlie pink t shirt.

Nick and Leaf Garrett go way back.

I went to Goodtimes Saturday. And if you guys are wanting Hoodies you'd better hurry they are limited in sizes and almost out of them, unless Jess and Rick are going to do another run (HINT HINT, 3XL Pullover Please!!!). I also wanted a Beenie but they were out of those but should be seeing some this week sometime. So I'll head that way again next week. I hit 2 bike shops on Saturday and only spent $47.00. Pheeew!

Why 3XL because I usually like wearing a shirt underneath and no coat. Plus I have a massive chest (and stomach after I eat). LOL

As far as the Save a Standard program. Yes! Let's see the list! Although I have a custom in mind I would like to weigh the options. So enough with the teasers NICK! Where's the list?

I had to work saturday, so i couldnt call or meet ya there sorry!! they will get more goods in. So did you buy 25 tickets like you promised? What did ya think of the bike?


Nick

The beanies are in! I must have just missed you ( I was playing Pinball at SBC instead of delivering beanies Saturday). If you want a 3X call or e-mail Ryan. We'll make you one special! You just have to pre pay because it will be like getting a custom!

How much are the hoodies and flex-fit hats? I might order one of each and have them shipped with my frame this week.

WHAT A COMPANY MAN!!!!




BRANDON,

Dont forget those special forks I told you about also!!!

Those forks are a for sure, just have to wait until next week. I know I can squeeze cash together for a hoodie and hat though.


on another note, as soon as I get a settlement (which might be a while), I'm gonna have a cruiser frame built to custom specs, along with forks and bars. I want a big wheeled bike!!!

BUY MORE RAFFLE TICKETS.

I could buy 500 of them and I'd still probably lose. That's the luck I have lately.

Just ordered myself a hoodie and flexfit hat. I need something to keep my body and my dome warm at the indoor track.

UPS should be a 1 day shipment to to chicago!!!

I think I just tinkled in my shorts out of pure excitement. I've been bugging my UPS guy every time he swings by to hurry up with my package from Iowa. He looks at me like I'm nuts.

here I'm ripping on Nick for being gay and I use the word "tinkle"... did I honestly just do that? I've been spending too much time with my 2 year old niece. Jesus.

LIL BRO'S STA is heading out for a custom 2 tone powder job, and contacted MR ROB on some killer decor for it.. Going to be a sweet ride. Maybe my summer bike, he wont ride it, lol!!!

That's what big brothers are for. Push him off of it and take off Nick.

COME ON GUYS


BUY SOME RAFFLE TICKETS SO I CAN HURRY AND DO THE DRAWING.. MY GOAL WAS JAN 22ND ON MY BDAY. but sales are slow, so it may go into febuary.. I want to atleast sell enough tickets to pay off the bike tabs used for my BMX program to where we had no choice but to run a tab and buy odds and ends.....ID LIKE TO SELL 75 MORE TICKETS....

$5.00 each for a NEW ROCKIN SBC

Shoot, I'll get 'em next week for sure! I just got good news from the Dept. Of Ed. about my student loans. I'm almost done paying them off. Pheeeew! First I paid of my truck last week and now my student loans are almost done. Wooohoooo! 2010 is going to be great!




Yep probably missed me by minutes. I went down to Racing Zone to hang with Paul for a while. I thought about coming back through but decided to head back out 61 instead. My stomach was saying it's dinner time. LOL


10-4 Bossman! I'll hit him up next week too. That means I can order more than 1. Yessss!

Oh and as far as the BIKE. I know the sign said don't sit on it, but I sat on it anyway. I didn't read the sign until afterwards. Then I felt guilty. NOT! I just wanted to make sure you built it to fit me and yep it does. I'll buy the 28 tickets for the super special price we talked about. LOL

Yep. super special price of $10each!!!
