Came across these photos when looking through my photo library. Sure is a long time ago that I made the first prototypes of the Eject hub. The first one was finished on the 25th of September in 2005 and I had the first wheel built up a few days later. Sweet!
Here are a couple of spy shots of a stem that Tempered Bikes will have out soon. The design is all by Tempered, but I’ve helped them with the solid models and the manufacturing drawings for these two samples. By the look of it they’ve turned out really good. Now they just have to make it from the factory to Brisbane and then testing will be under way.
And here’s a quick edit from a couple of Tempereds team riders, Jerry Vandervalk and Nick Kajewski.
The best BMX shop/mailorder in Sweden, Childstore, has put together a really nice complete bike with almost only Simple and Odyssey parts. You even get a very limited “prototype” style of the Simple seat.
