Thanks

Nick

So is everyone excited about there new CUSTOMS coming? Also dont forget about our normal production bikes!!! ORDER AWAY!!

I have seen most all your customs and if im this excited, you guys must be going crazy waiting!!!!!

STANDARD RIDERS

Inercity, the London based design studio and authors of Art & Sole, are working on a BMX book that will showcase all types of BMX bikes.

“Rad Rides: The Best of BMX (working title) looks to explore the world of BMX through photographs of bikes and Q&As with their owners. Some of the bikes are knackered, well worn by owners that have been riding for years. Others are beautiful, sculptural works of art, built but never ridden as a keepsake. Why are these bikes so sacred to their owners? What do these BMX riders do for a living? Where do they ride their bikes? What is it about the BMX that appeals to them? Is their bike a classic production bike or is it a custom build?”

They have an open call for entries going on until October 2009, so if you have a bike you’d like to submit, click here to download the call for entries PDF. To get an idea of what the book will be like, check out a few images from Art & Sole after the jump.

tell us more Nick - where did you find this?

cheers nick!

just emailed them!

nevermind I got it

worked on my to do list most of the day and when I finished I decided to put put my racer in backup trim. It needs a new seatpost and some Profiles (chrome or black) if I could find somebody to swap my Flights.

sure quite in here!!!

B$TCHIN!!!






STANDARD MT BIKES, TANDOMS, ROAD BIKES, WHATS NEXT?

Been working around the house allday, sitting down with a bowl of homemade chicken and noodles. Cool green log jumper. I wonder how long the red arguyle would last in BMX. Actually I'm rather bored, got my backup dialed in and everything cleaned and polished, just waiting on the UPS dude now.

I have been working on donation bikes and parts all day, and now just working on the man cave some. I cant believe i have so much sh$t., and its all toys and diecast cars and misc.. hahaha

SANTA in the brown suit just left my office

ABOVE IS A LINK OF LOCAL NEWSPAPER ARTICLE WITH ME AND RICK

INDY,

Whats the good news brother?

CUSTOM BAD ASS 26'', LOVIN THE FORKS

YES. This is how the very early TRAILBOSS's were done. Copy of the OG stencil.

CUSTOM 1 OFF CHROME FORKS- Chrome is amazing!!!!

The front half of Lodown is built and is looking hot. Had to do some running after work kinda late when I got home so I just stared at what I had done for a few minutes. Today was a sad day for me, my wife called and told me my Kane had been hit. I had to come home and lay him to rest. I just didn't have it in me to work on my bike.

Here are a couple shots of Kane enjoying the sunshine last fall


Kane was a 85lb Sharpa/Husky mix that we had got from the pound 8 yrs ago.

RIP my friend

I will have pics to show by the weekend. Hopefully the sun will decide to come out on Saturday.

The blue 26 inch is cool except the tires just a bit much for me. The Trail Boss is very kool and the chrome is slick.

Sorry to hear about your dog, id miss mine even though its a lil b$tch ass barkin yorkie my wife had to have!!

I'm starting the Trail Boss build today.

Thanks Dan doing better now first couple days are rough.

I'm going to try and get mine finished tonight, waiting on the sun to come (havent seen it all week) to get some good shots.

Trey

Thanks Trey, Kane was more of a mommas boy than anything else, but we are all feeling the loss. Even Pook has been mopin around cause he doesn't have anybody to boss now. We'll be there on Sunday.

Oh yes, it's dusty and I'm very happy.



Thanks SBC

pow!!!! what a ride ,glad you got a custom buit bren

dan

indy-hope u get it built for sunday-i have to see this! media blast...last time i heard that folks was re doing tuff wheels...

Indy, I must see the finished product!!


2elliot. trailboss is kick A$$

The Trail Boss looks great just like a Trail Boss is suppose to look. Really digging the BIG Tioga on the front.



Well Nick here ya go just so you can get your fix. These pics as you know don't do this justice but just as I was getting it finished up today it started monsooning and didn't stop till after dark. The sun is suppose to be out tomorrow and the plan right now is to take some detailed shots then.

Looking good! and we have to get you your custom bars to match with the matching color. Send your sample bars to rick so they can get the correct bend in them, and we will knock them out. If you need other stuff powdered the same matching flip flop let me know!!!!

Love it!!!

Dark does it no justice. CORRECT.


Take care buddy,

Nick

I will have to get with you on the bars here soon. I've been thinking of getting some other stuff to match.

You got my #, you know Im here for ya anytime.

Thanks

Nick

I was just on the phone with my powder guy. He told me if you guys wanted custom powder done, instead of doing 1 by 1. To do 6+ would be alot cheaper.

I got a feeling once indys bike hits the Track, everyone is going to want FLIP FLOP!!

flip flop also comes in a red base

and a purple base flip flop also..

So now is the Time to referb those old frames. Dont have to be Just a standard!!!

Well the sun finally came out today so I loaded the bikes in the truck and went some place to take a few shots. I found this old brick wall and the sun was in my favor. I'm a bit disappointed, as I unloaded the bikes and the paint was flipping all over the place. I took some shots but my camera sucks eggs and didn't pick up the colors. Oh well I'm posting anyways.





Nick check out the headtube I'm still debating on the rest.

Heres a couple of my backup with the new stickers in place.




I got a few more coming.

Pook digging for moles in the background


Vintage and Retro TriPowers

Indy, be proud you got the first STANDARD tri-bar and the first Color of its kind to be on a frame. Hopefully you set a trend!!

Nice decals!!!!!!!!!!

Head tube looks cool, kinda like a ghost image. Put the rest on!!!

Make sure someone also gets a pic of you riding that in a race!

That i will have to see, and im sure Rick and Shawn would also!!

Don't really know if this is the right place, but this get the most visits so I'll post here.

On my Standard 125r, I got 990's instead of v-brake and the arms on my fly brakes stick out too far and rub my sprocket. I want to run a 44t but the brakes stick out past the chainstays.

Has any one else had this problem? Did you use a different brake, like Evo2's or something else?

thanks.

-joe

MadDog - I have a 125r with 990 mounts and I'm running tektros and a 44t gear with no problem. I will post a pic when I get home.

thanks indy.

MadDog,
Fly brakes are a little wider in the area you talk about. I believe almost every other brake clears. Trusty 990's seem to rock real well. I know many others do work too. Is there any adjustment room at all to bring them in a bit?

Rick

So I am wanting a custom STANDARD. here is my idea..waiting for some $ to come in.

STA 20.75 '' top tube, want something to street ride.

Custom head tube gussets like the custom 26''we did 80's style, but i am looking for a place to water jet out the SBC/ cobra decal (old school) in the gusset in detail.

I want to have it chrome, with a black pearl powder over it.

Chrome standard decals on both sides of the down tubes in block letters

In the back where the 63army and ride to live decals go, one side will say 400 horsepower and the other side say maximum performance.

chrome standard cobra decal on head tube. and one on each side of same color as frame fork..

and for the back of the top tube real small towards the seat post on both sides have it say "black sunshine"

(gripping the wheel his knuckles went white with desire
The wheels of his mustang exploding on the highway like a slug from a .45
True death: 400 horsepower of maximum performance piercing the night
This is black sunshine.)

ROB ZOMBIE.SONG..


sounds Kinda dope dont it?

ha nick,get it done.
i got over 65 frames and still love a new one.
buying a shirt off the rails not as good as knowing your ideas actually get built in.
