Let’s Help Out Sam Tormey
It’s always such a bummer hearing about a rider that is going through cancer or something terrible. Sam Tormey hasn’t exactly been dealt the best of cards as of late and has been fighting cancer hard. There’s a GoFundMe setup to help out Sam and his family in this tough time. They have already met their $10K goal, but anything to go above and beyond is greatly appreciated.

Sneak Peek: GT – 4-Piece Bars
We woke up to an interesting photo in the Facebook feed this morning. Ben Ward, GT Bicycles new BMX team manager / product developer / all around good dude, posted up a little sneak peek photo of some bars that he is showing off at the Taipei Bicycle Show this week. The bars are based off their original iconic 4-piece bars that a lot of you older guys know and love! We asked Ben for some details on the specs, but he wasn’t able to give us any specific details just yet as far as specs or a release date goes… Based off the photo it does appear that they will be available in black and chrome and will come with more modern geometry as far as sizing goes. Release date? If they’re showing these off like this… Our guess is within the year.
So, if you could pick the geometry for these; rise, width, backsweep and upsweep, what would your ideal dimensions be for these bad boys? Let us know in the comments!
