It looks like Joe Battaglia has joined the Standard Bykes Army! Here’s a photo of him getting his first frame from Rick Moliterno to bring the news. Expect plenty more from both Joe and Standard in the future.
Zack Gerber Bike Check
If you keep up with all the product posts we do on the site, there’s a good chance you got a look at Zack Gerber‘s new signature Transplant frame from Standard that just dropped. If there’s one dude who has been crushing it for a long time and deserved a signature frame, it’s Zack. We were stoked on the news so we figured there would be no better time than now for a fresh Bike Check. So, let’s take a look at this fresh Standard setup decked out with The Daily Grind and BSD parts, then we’ll find out what else is new with Zack! Ready? Let’s do this!
Name: Zack Gerber
Product: Standard Bykes – Zack Gerber Signature Transplant Frame
It’s about damn time Zack Gerber got himself a signature frame! The guys at Standard Bykes have just released Zack’s “Transplant” frame. Check out the promo above, then get full specs and details below after the jump!
“Zack has been testing and developing his frame for over the past year. Finally happy with every detail, he has released his signature “Transplant” frame to the market. Named after his many travels and gypsy lifestyle. Zack’s frame embodies the iconic strength of Standard Bykes with the purity in simplicity of a modern ‘street’ BMX frame designed to handle Zack’s high speed, technical, and potentially dangerous riding style.”
Standard – Johnny DelBalso Welcome Video
Johnny DelBalso is now doing it for Standard Bykes and, based off this BMX video, it’s very clear to see why. This video starts out heavy on the park side as Johnny crushes ramp after ramp, then it gets heavy on the street side of things where no rail is safe. This has more sprocket stalls than you have seen in the last 5 years in one video (and that’s awesome), quite possibly the first wall ride on a mattress and a ton of big grinds and tricks. You need to take a look at this one!
“Johnny DelBalso is a shredder!! And we are pumped to welcome him to Standard!!”
“Really excited on the opportunity to ride for Standard. Mind’s blown, Standard Byke Company. Looking forward to all the good times ahead and the extra motivation this brings to turn things up.
Edit filmed the last couple months primarily with Paul Radosevich, Cody Duff, Kevin Sanchez, and James Maradits. Special thanks to them and everyone else involved!” -Johnny
Eric Mesta Bike Check
When it comes to street crews, there’s a good chance you’re pretty familiar with The Daily Grind‘s team. One dude on there team who we’ve been watching over the years that you might not be super familiar is Eric Mesta. Eric is one of those guys who is always putting off a super good vibe, a serious grind technician and a crankflip wizard. We caught wind that he was running a sample of Zack Gerber’s signature frame that Standard is working on, so we figured it would be an awesome time to do a bike check to get a look at his current setup along with find out a little bit more about this guy! Let’s do this!

Product: Standard Bykes – Over Load Stem
Are you on the hunt for a new stem but you want something a little unique and different? Have you given Standard’s Over Load stem a look? This stem is CNC machined out of 6061 aluminum right here in the U.S.A with a 48mm reach, 32mm stack height and 20.75mm rise. This stem features a hollowed out bottom section, extra machining on the sides for additional weight savings, a rounded back for a smooth, knee friendly look, solid chromoly bolts and a recessed top for a flush compression cap. This stem is unique because it also features a bottom that replaces the top on your integrated headset! Because it has this feature, it sits like a traditional front load stem due to not having spacers or that cap. The Over Load comes in colors of black, blue, gold and red with a weight of 10 oz. Standard offer custom power coated colors and polished as color options as well, just get in touch with them to make that happen.
The Over Load stem is available through all shops and mail-orders that carry Standard Bykes worldwide now.
