Jim and myself just returned from the Trade Show at the east coast terminal skatepark in binghamton New York. It was good seeing old friends and hanging out with everyone. To bad the rain wrecked our trails session.
Thanks to Crandall and Jeff Harrington for putting this show on, and inviting us to attend. Hopefully next time every BMX bike shop will send a rep to check out the BMX Specific trade show.

Fellow Odyssey rider Jimmy Levan has a cool little list on bmxonline.com about why he loves NYC so much. Since jim, chris and myself are all from new york, we were psyched to see it.

Today we received some samples for our 12/13 tooth one piece drivers. why would anyone want a 12 or 13 tooth driver you ask?? simple. Many frames are still being made with brakes mounted on the chainstays, therefore the smallest you can (usually) go gear wise is 36/13. Considering you cant go any lower, and you probably wont be going up, why not have a solid one piece driver to make your hub a little better (without adding on any weight). One piece is better than 4.
The 10t driver is on the way, so we figured we might as well have one piece drivers all the way up to 13. the 12t is on my bike now and it feels awesome.

PLEASE NOTE: the 12/13t drivers are not available yet. These are just samples for us to test before production.

After much cutting, trimming, and a custom prototype of the new “flame” frame from KINK, Jim C has gotten his bike weight down to 12 pounds.
hang loose bro.

Anyone who wanted one of the first 300 limited edition Jim Cielencki pedals in green, but missed out, you now have another chance.

Dont miss out a second time, or you will never see them again.

type in CIELENCKI in the search.

Jeff Z. came down earlier this week to interview Jim for bmxonline.com.

Check out the upcoming Transworld BMX magazine for a double sided Odyssey poster which features Mike Aitken and Vic Murphy.

You will have a tough time deciding which side to put up because both shots are bad ass.

For those of you who have been patiently waiting for hollow cassette axles to come in, they are finally here. Go get yours at the online store.

Apparently FREESTYLE_182 says I don’t update enough, so here is some info about Gary. Gary got hurt on road fools and needed to get surgery on his knee. Canada was busy, so he went over to Austria to get a synthetic shoelace put in there. The amazing thing was he walked out of the hospital, and he can ride in 3 weeks from that day. He’s been riding around with his seat all high just working it out. He’ll be back in action in a few days from now.

Available Now!
