Clients rides!

Rey sent in his Transition decked in White pedals and the new Silent guide… unsure if you are playing with the color ray or have way too much money and bought two bikes!?

Lets assume he is rich and here are his steeds. Knowing Rey this bike may be stolen so if the rightful owner see this, I have his info.

 

That silent guide was the first one sold and installed in America… and Rey lives in Texas..go figure.

 

Mike sent in his Canfield rig wit hour 50 mm boxxer and matching seat collar. Mike promises to put the Silent guide on the Canfield but the design looks like a no go, cannot win all the battles.

 

I will hold you to a pair of pedals Mike, we want more real state on that bike!

 

EDITORS NOTE*** This replaces the jibberish about Sanesh, he works at North Shore bike shop, and rides a Banshee Wildcard, I confused my emails and I was wondering how he could afford two rigs!

“Hey Greg,

I think you have me mixed up with someone else named Sanesh . I live

in Los Angeles and I'm a Location Scout for the ABC comedy

"Cougartown". (amongst many other TV shows and commercials) EDITORS NOTE*** Awesome! . I don't

work in a bike shop although I LOVE bikes! But I do think I might

have gotten the first pair of Lenosky's....

Cheers!

Boing!

Now this is Sanesh of the Shore… his ride scored a set of the first 2010 jlo’s off the line –sorry Danesh, lied by mistake.

Sanesh is also riding on our Silent Guide with the 2010 JLO pedals or some bling. And Sanesh your shot sucks but thanks!!

Found this next  shot on Pinkbike today, glimpse of a Straitline platform on the Shore on Ryan Berrecloths Knolly.

If you want to see what it is like for real over here look at this link, great shots http://www.pinkbike.com/news/north-vancouver-photo-story-part-1-2010.html

So, send me your installs, I like to see the build ups and ideally where you ride them too, garage shots are cool but don’t hide all secret spots for yourself!

I will start first and show you my secret riding spot… 

Its just over there…

It starts near the second tree…

When you get to the creek cross it and the trail starts, cannot miss it.

So now send me yours!

2009, well it's been a good year for myself. I've pulled some sweet results out of the bag and had a flippin marvelous time as well. It was my first year riding for MTBCut/Cyclejersey and let me be the first to say it was a pleasure. We've had some blazing results this year and some good laughs as well.

After all the highs and lows through the year the team found itself in a quiet valley in southern Wales for the final round of the NPS series. Rheola is a track I've ridden before and it is also a track I wasn't too keen on. It was pretty much 1 line flat out in a rut the whole way. Race over I can officially say it's one of the best tracks I've raced on in Britain. The guys who reworked the track added in some awesome, fresh, gnarly, rooty sections which gave the track some variation and just added a whole lot of rad to the situation.

Myself and Barnes were fresh back from Europe and were feeling good on the bikes, Coatesy was feeling strong after posting some record power outputs in testing, Hutchens was pumped to have a pink 225 to rag down the hill and James as always was stoked to be there. Practice was real good fun on the fresh bits of track as it changed every run. I was all over this new super booter the builders had erected which meant I could bring out the superior pencil skills and entertain the crowd/myself.

Racing went pretty well for the team. Coatsey put in a solid result which secured him 3rd overall in senior. James had the biggest stack in seeding but manned up and just missed the junior podium in 6th. Hutchens had a bad day at the office and was O.T.A. Joe had a pretty good run and scored 5th in Elite and I scored myself a victory which rounded out my season quite nicely.

This has been one hell of a year and I've got to be lame and thank a few guys because they're the people that make it all happen. So obviously cheers to Stu and Brian for keeping us bunch of weapons rubber side down. Thanks to Orange Mountain Bikes for supplying us with the best frames out there. Thanks to Hope, IXS, Straitline, Hotlines, Silverfish and Madison for supplying us with the only kit you'd ever want to run. Big thanks to anyone else who's helped out along the way, you're all legends. Oh yeh, also wee man, I love you too.

If anyone wants me over the winter I'll be in the gym.

See you next year.

DJ's close call- moto crash!

Here is DJ one of the owners/ designers here at Straitline looking cool pulling high speed wheelies.




Now here is DJ not looking so cool in a slow speed wheelie!

3 inches from taking out the ladies car behind the shop. Look at his recovery, makes it look so simple.

We were focused on making tech videos then someone starts up a bike and we get distracted but take a look at our Laser etching a quick logo.



Side Note new 50 boxxer stem has finally been finished design etching wise here is the finished look

New bolts shave 8 grams off the final weight making it 139.8/140 grams!
