There are a lot of Flatware products currently in the prototype stages and Terry Adam’s ride has just about all of them. Check out his bike check above to get a full list and a closer look. Also, if that shirt looks familiar, it’s the Frequency G tire pattern shirt we posted about a while ago.

Volcano Bolts!!

Another three post frenzy… you lucky lucky people…
Don’t worry these bolts aren’t really volcanos… or are they?!?!?

No. they arent…

What they are are smooth low profile bolts for the Marmoset and Monkey hubs if you aren’t planning on using pegs.
6mm allen key sockets, slightly shorter than regular bolts to save that all important weight (about half an ounce per bolt) and with a big head to allow use in 14mm dropouts (with a suitable converter).

Sold as singles.

Should be available early in 2007.
