Issue 38 of 2020 BMX Magazine
is out right about now with 164 pages of blazing Australian BMX. Chris O'Donnell graces
the fold out cover with one ballsy as hell tuck down the infamous harbour tunnel gap. Inside
there's interviews with Vince Byron and Adam Hough, we get all slasher like at the Halloween Jam and the Colony team hit the USA. Then
there's two of the sweetest photo stories we've ever run, from Nick Gascoine and Raine Turnbull. Plus theres bikes to win from Radio, Pilgrim and Premium, along with a massive Colony lucky dip giveaway with over $3000 worth of parts to win. And to sweeten the deal even more,
there's a sweet WeThePeople vs BackBoneBMX pull out poster.
Hope
everyone has a great Christmas and New Year!!

Mankind
Code, Mike S signature frame
Part time Aussie Mike Steingraeber
has a new signature frame with mankind bikes. The “Code” will
be available here in a couple of months.
Here is what Mike has to say about it: “I
have been friends with Mankind owner Christoph Huber for well over 20
years, and while a good personal relationship helps, that wasn´t the
reason I wanted to ride for Mankind. What I find so appealing about
Mankind is the quality of their products, their attention to detail and
their nice graphic designs. Christoph let me design my signature frame,
the “Code” the way I wanted it to be, without any limitations. I knew
what I wanted from the start, so it was just a matter of bringing my ideas
to paper, getting a prototype made, which unfortunately took a long time,
and now testing the prototype and showing it around.
There are several key
elements I wanted in my frame:
First of all: strength. My frames have
to take a lot of abuse, and I want them to take it. That´s why I wanted a
without unnecessary bent tubes, and nothing crossed either.
Secondly, I didn´t
want to build a tank, so I opted for butted tubes and tapered chain- and
seatstays. To be able to use thin tubes, I wanted the frame to be fully
heat treated. That means it gets welded first, then the whole thing gets
heat treated, resulting in a very strong structure, including the welds!
Third, the frame had
to be functional! That´s why the down tube is slightly elevated, with
enough attatchment to the bottom bracket shell, so that´s not going to
fall off. The dropouts are on the outside of the seat- and chainstays, so
bike varials will be easier without getting caught up with your feet. The
head angle is 74°, so your bars won´t touch the ground as easily when
doing hitchhikers and backpackers.
And last but not least
I wanted a lot of attention to detail. I opted for machined bottom bracket
shell and head tube with integrated logo, a logo etching in the dropouts,
the nice Mankind bridge between the seatstays and the curved tube/bridge
between the chainstays for added strength. The seattube is outside
machined to save a bit of weight and has an integrated seatclamp. The
stickers are placed where they don´t get scratched instantly when you
ride your bike. I chose not to have brake mounts on the frame, because I
don´t use brakes and it looks like most other riders don´t use rear
brakes, and the frame just looks much cleaner that way.”
New
Proper delivery
We just received
our latest delivery of Proper Bikes frames and parts. This time around the
TTL frame is
available in grey, raw or metallic blue (which looks awesome), in 20.6",
21", or 21.2" top tube. All the parts are back in stock
including wheels,
rims, hubs, u-brakes and bars (including the 8.75" rise TTxL bars).
New for this order is the microlite chainwheel in 25 or 28 tooth in
stack of colours as well as grips in gum colour and a new grey colour in
all the parts...
