Sneak Peek: Kink – Mudrunner Frame

December 30, 2012

Here’s a sneak peek look at Ben Hittle’s signature frame from Kink called the Mudrunner. They say it’s still in testing, but I’m going to guess that it will be out in the next few months due to the branding and head tube badge being on the frame and those aesthetic things are usually a sign. Hit this link to check out another photo of his whole bike build up. Dialed unit!

“Hittle just put together a sample of the “Mudrunner” frame we are currently testing. There has been some talk of the specs from Interbike edits this past September and we will have more info available as we finalize the frame!“

Alex Hiam Colony Seat

Here’s a sneak peek look at Alex Hiam’s signature seat and seat post combo coming from Colony in March. The “Ride More” logo is part of the hashtag #RideMore that Alex’s other sponsor Dishonour uses. Looks good to me.

Back in September, Odyssey let us premiere the first look at their new Key Chain chain during Interbike. Now you can head over to their website to get more info an a closer look at it. This looks real good.

Sneak Peek: Bizhouse – Ratchet Prototype Sprocket?

December 16, 2012

Effraim at Flat-Matters just dropped this on me and my brain exploded. Bizhouse dropped this quick clip giving you a sneak peek at their “Ratchet”… system? No description, no real information but what I’ve gathered from this video is this.

They’re working on either a sprocket or some sort of bottom bracket that works like a ratchet wrench would work. When you pedal forward it engages and allows you to pedal, but when you are not putting forward pedal pressure on it, it allows you to freely roll backwards without pedaling. Similar to how if you are tightening a nut, you wrench and then pull it back to reset and tighten more.

Essentially this allows you to run a freecoaster without having to replace your rear hub.

I’m not going to lie, this is blowing my mind. Effraim is going to try and get a few answers out of Sean at Bizhouse about this one, so hopefully we can get some answers here soon.

What do you guys think?

Sneak Peek: Subrosa – Villicus Prime Frame

December 6, 2012

It looks like Hoang Tran’s signature Villicus frame is getting a revamp for Spring 2013. Subrosa dropped this sneak peek today with “More info soon.” for us all to drool and speculate over. We’ll let you know more as soon as we know more.

Sneak Peek: The Daily Grind – Troy Merkle Signature 4-Piece Bars

December 6, 2012

It looks like The Daily Grind have been busy working on a few new projects. Here’s a sneak peek look at Troy Merkle’s signature 4-piece bars they are working on. These 4130 chromoly bars are made right here in the U.S.A (they didn’t specify by who as of yet) and come in 28″ wide and can be cut down to 24″. No other details have been released, but based on what I’m seeing here, they look quality as hell. Expect more info about these soon.

Oh, while you are at it, go pick up a copy of their new DVD that’s out now!

Sneak Peek: Tree Bicycle Co. – Moto Bars and Prototype Stem

November 28, 2012

Tree Bicycle Co. have dropped a few photos giving you a sneak peek look at Sam Schulte’s new signature Moto bars and their new traditional style 6-bolt topload stem that is looking so damn clean. You can get a look at the photos by clicking here. No word on the release, but based on the branding they’ve got on both, I’d say early 2013 at the latest.

Sneak Peek: Haro X Vans – Limited Edition Freestyler Shoes

November 16, 2012

It looks like Vans and Haro have teamed up to do some limited edition Freestyler shoes. Pat Casey posted these shots of the shoes up on Instagram giving you a look at two versions, an old school high top with the classic Vans checkered pattern and the old Freestyler logo, and then some classic lows with the same checkered pattern. No word on the release, but I’d imagine it won’t be long before you will be able to get yourself a pair or two.
