Simple Bikes have been bangin’ out some updates about their new products on the site lately. The entire range of frames have been looked over and revamped from the ground up. The existing models retain the same proven geometry, but they have been dialled in and tweaked to suit the demands of 2011 with tapered tubing, integrated gussets and a built in pivotal post for the Enigma.
Also, two new models have been introduced — the Riga and the Lombric.
The Riga is Eduards Zunda’s signature frame and the Lombric is designed as per Jeremy Muller’s preference. The both feature a new style dropout where the chainstay and seatstay endcaps are an integrated part of the dropout.
Have a look at some photos:
The Eject hub and stem have also undergone a bit of an update. The hub is now slimmer and lighter and one of the endcones have been integrated with the axle. The stem got the ’rounding off’ treatment and have been styled to match the style of the System frontloader.
Jeremy Muller, Simple bikes team rider, created the Compression DVD with his friends. It consists of all trails footage from around France. The DVD was available together with the trails issue of Soul Magazine and you could also buy it separately. Now it seems that the DVD is sold out, thus the separate parts will be released one at a time every week.
I’ve been slacking (as usual) with updating this blog, so this post contains two parts.
In a previous post I mentioned that Jeremy Muller has been working on an all trails DVD project. It is soon going to be released on may 15th and here’s the teaser. The actual DVD will be released together with Soul BMX magazine #65 and you can also buy it separate from the Soul website for around €5.
Jeremy Muller just sent this to a bunch of friends. Apparently these trails are getting plowed and he made this tribute edit from leftover footage filmed there. I’ve never been to these trails, but it’s always sad to see such nice looking sets get destroyed.
Also be sure to check out the Compression DVD (all trails I think) that will be out in mid May.
Jeremy Muller, or Jems for short, was recently added to the Vinyl BMX team. Congrats to that! He’s currently been traveling around the UK a bit and there’s an update on the Vinyl BMX site with a few snaps of him riding trails — which is Jems’ terrain of choice. Good stuff.
