Sneak Peek: Credence – Black Magic Frame

March 16, 2017

Here’s one we caught wind of over on Can You Dig It that’ll get the trails riders out there stoked. It looks like Matty Aquizap will be getting his own signature “Black Magic” frame from Credence Bikes! This frame will be made right here in the United States by S&M Bikes out of full chromoly with a 74-degree head tube angle, 9.3″ standover height, 11.6″ bottom bracket height and 14.1″ chainstay length. There wasn’t anything on seat tube angle, but we would guess 71-degrees.

Based on the photo it appears to have top and downtube gussets, an integrated seat post clamp, Mid bottom bracket, 14mm dropouts, a wider rear end to fit the 2.40″ tires and welded on chain stay brake mounts.

No word top tube lengths or colors, but Chris Moeller mentioned in his Instagram post gloss white. We would assume black will also be an option since, well, the name is Black Magic.

Expect full details once the frame is available.

In The Cut: Territories – China

Over the past two weeks or so, we’ve been treated two TWO very dialed videos from a trip to Ningbo, China that Bruno Hoffmann, Alex Kennedy, Ed Zunda and Dillon Lloyd took last year. Above is a raw cut of footage that didn’t make it into the final videos. This has lifestyle and riding footage mixed throughout giving an interesting look into what these guys got into.

Territories: Ed Zunda and Dillon Lloyd

“Back in October of 2016 we started a new DIG travel project. For the first one we teamed up with official partner brands WETHEPEOPLE BMX and Eclat BMX and selected two riders from each brand to accompany us to a city none of us had ever been to or even knew about. Ningbo is about 2.5 hours south of Shanghai in China and had more than enough good spots and interesting locals to make for an epic trip. ” – DIG
