IF YOU LIKE YOUR WHEELS LARGE

A quick announcement for you all to digest over the long three day weekend.


Our good friends at TwentyNineInches.com are putting on the BIG WHEELED BALLYHOO June 23rd -24th in Decorah, Iowa. We have sent them a fleet of XXIX’s, single speed and gears for anyone wanting to try these kick ass machines out. Or if you just want to mingle with like minded folks that ride 29ers you should head out to Decorah for a weekend of riding, music, beverages, and demos.

SISTER CONTEST

The second post of the day is an announcment for a contest that our sister company Diamondback is involved in with Dirt Rag. It just went up yesterday and runs through August 1st - check it out here, and here, and then enter here.

"Let us know what turns your cranks and we’ll let you know if the way you did it turned ours by awarding you with a trip to Las Vegas to check out the 2007 Interbike International Bike Expo, along with a brand spanking new Shimano Deore XT equipped Diamondback Mission 3."

Good Luck!

NY TIMES ARTICLES

For your evening reading click here and here - that is, if you haven't already hit these articles. One of them has a great multimedia slide show that features our Rush Hour Pro in the "AT THE TRACK" tab (rider is a Team DC Racing member).

But really folks, kids were riding fixed gears without brakes from the very beginning of the bicycle's existence. Not only were they riding fixed, but their bikes were super heavy and a couple sizes too big for them.

Interesting articles, nonetheless, and you can't argue with a picture of our sponsored racer on a Rush Hour Pro!

Enjoy.
