I’ve been posting a bit about Tempered Bikes upcoming products, the Bones stem and the Anchor Down sprocket. I just saw some new shots of the two fine products on a nice blue bike on the Tempered site. This looks so sweet!

Here’s a little something that Tempered Bikes just put up on their site. Their new “Bones” stem got that nickname for obvious reasons. I’m really impressed with the finish and the workmanship on those units. Like Matt says, they will be hitting the shelves real soon. Check the website for more pics.

Jamie over at Proper Bikes posted this on their blog earlier this month. Reading through it, I have to say that I found it very accurate and to the point. That’s why I decided it is worth spreading the message some more. This was posted as some do’s and don’ts for their stems hat are [...]

I just learned that there is a pretty big bicycle tradeshow here in Melbourne — Ausbike. It will go on for two days, Sunday and Monday, and there will be a bunch of local BMX brands and distros showing their stuff. I’ll be there checking stuff out and hanging around the KickassBMX stand (#48). Should be interesting to [...]

Kert Petersel, who used to ride for Simple but now rides for Metal, got a hookup with éclat. From the éclat blog: Sean Burns told me that we needed to give Metal team rider Kert Petersel some parts, so we did. And even though Kert lives in Estonia, he somehow managed to be working at the [...]

Here are some “spy shots” straight off the factory production line of some of the new Simple products that will be out shortly. Not all of them are new products, but most of them have been refined from the previous batch. The biggest change would probably be on the System-stem which has received a total [...]

The other day I got sent a link to this german site called Leichtsinn, which is a weight-weenie site mostly dedicated to bmx products. The main story on there now features a modified version of the Simple stem, the System. He’s done a really good job of it and it looks way more tech and [...]

Focalpoint has got a new promo video for their new clothing line up on their index page featuring the FP crew doing some nice street stunts. The new flat peak caps look great, so does the new tee designs. Also, I’ve added a new link to an aussie bike company, Nightfall Bike Co., based in [...]

A couple of days ago I received a nice little package of things to be tested. It’s the new “Symmetric stem” and the yet to be named cassette hub from Simple Bikes. The stem is short (49mm reach) and works about the same as the previous frontload stem, the “System”. It’s got an internal wedge/piston [...]

…what a disappointment! Interbike is over. I’ve been scanning bmx news sites and forums for interesting new parts and products from other brands then the one(s) I’m involved with. But there was seriously nothing new or really cool. Unless you think 20+ new pivotal seat graphics (on the same seat shape), or new limited edition [...]
