Threads Vol. 3
It’s that time of the week again for us to take a look at some interesting threads that are popping up over on Bikeguide! This week, in The Bike Shop, there’s been a pretty interesting thread that will probably take a lot of you guys who have been riding for a while down memory lane. The FRAME HISTORY? has everyone talking about the history of frames they have rode over the years. Some go waaaaay back and I guarantee you will say “Ooooh! I remember that one!” a bunch of times. Definitely an interesting read and a good one to get in on!
Frame History?
The second thread is probably one that’s catching my eye again because my neighbor has been spending the last few days revving his engine on his Harley to get it ready for the season. It’s been in the upper 30’s and people are busting out their motorcycles here in Minnesota… I shit you not! The Motorcycles thread is 120 pages long and filled with every kind of motorcycle you could possibly think of. Anyone who is into motorcycles, or considering getting into them will be able to kill a lot of time paging through this one! Take a peek!

Product: Subrosa – Limited Edition Silva II Frame
Subrosa‘s Mark Mulville wanted to do something special for the release of his Silva II frame. So they teamed up with his sponsor, Emmitt BMX to do a special colorway and sticker kit that turned out so rad.

This frame has a heat treated head tube, bottom bracket and drop outs, double butted top and down tubes, a gusset on the down tube, curved seat and chain stay bridges for bigger tire clearance, flattened stays at the drop outs for hub guard clearance, removable brake mounts and an integrated seat post clamp. You can pick this frame up in 20.5″, 20.75″ and 21″ top tube sizes with the limited edition translucent black colorway with special graphics. More photos RIGHT HERE.

Enjoy watching Shane put his new and beefed-up Fly Bikes “Isla” signature line through its paces as well as give us the breakdown of the complete line and reason why its designed the way it is.”
