NIGHTWOLF
Certain parts of the world have already received the Mike Aitken Nightwolf saddles, so keep and eye out in your local shop or mailorder.
We should be receiving our shipment of both Nightwolf saddles early next month, along with a new denim version of Mike’s seat as well.
Speaking of Aitken, check out his recent Fit ad that was featured in the latest ride. Click!
C.F.L STEM
Frontloaders rejoice!
Above is our new C.F.L stem (Classic Front Loader), which is available now and shipping to our distributors. Our UK distributor even has them now with custom upside down front caps (along with a bunch of other good stuff).
As you can tell from the pics, all the appropriate measures have been taken to give you a good strong lightweight stem. With the C.F.L, Classic stem and the Elementary, we should have everyone covered.
The C.F.L stem has a 53mm reach, and weighs 11.2 ounces. It is available in Black, Gold and White. Click below for one more pic as well.
Contact your local shop or mailorder for more info.

TerryAdamsBMX.com v2.0
The new version of terryadamsbmx.com launched today and has a fresh look along with nearly 100 photos, more than 20 videos, and a whole lot more!
Sittin’ on Chrome!!!
I took a look at the web today and it seems by bike is all over the place, and that’s weird. I guess this little shout out goes to the 3 pages on BG and the name mention on SPRFLS. I am going to take a minute here to answer the questions I have seen and to straighten out all of the inaccuracies that are floating around. Hope this helps.-ben
TANWALL TIRES
UPDATE: AVAILABLE NOW!
Some of you eagle-eyed the Tanwall tires in those riding pics that Jim posted from the other day, and emails/comments began.
Above is a better pic of my bike with the Tanwall tires so you can check them out. The front is a knobby Aitken, and the rear is a Path. The label on the tire is not right, so disregard that.
These Tanwall tires are being made to “look” like old school skinwalls, but are way more durable as the casings coincide with what we are offering now. Actual skinwalls wouldn’t hold up very well these days, but the Tanwalls will.
These are a few months out. More info soon.
