Etnies Number vs Odyssey BMX Shoe

The collaboration between two Big bmx brands. ETNIES has supported bmx with their excellent range of footwear for years. To this day they sponsor some of the hottest names in bmx. Sunday Bikes and Odyssey team rider Aaron Ross had his signature shoe launched last year and it went down a storm. The number is the result of Aaron taking all the best bits of the Etnies range and rolling it up into a package specifically designed for bmx.

Soon after the first editions had been launched Etnies showed us this hook up limited edtion shoe.

We weren't sure if it would ever make it to production. But it has and we now have them in stock! Its so cool to see Etnies have stuck true to Odyssey's/Aarons style. I've added below some pre production images i took back in September.













The shoes can be found on our website here

The Giant Trance X1 2010 has landed!

We had this beauty land today, Giants top flight aluminium 5" travel full susupension. 5" is pretty much middle of road in suspension travel. It offers enough to be plush and confidence inspiring and still keeping the bike climb friendly.


The X1 is totally tricked out with nearly a full XT groupset(including the excellent XT complete Wheelset) and with an XTR Shadow rear mech thrown in for good measure. Both Shocks are fox with the F120RL FIT up front and a RP23 (Boost Value) in the back. Giant signed up to Avid's Custom brake program this year so the Calipers and levers both have red accents to go with the bikes graphics.

Boris backs Biking Boroughs for capital

Whatever you think about the current mayor, it seems he is all for implementing more cycling infrastructure, which can only be a good thing!

He's now even following Charge Bikes on twitter!

Check out the full article at :- http://www.bikebiz.com/news/31662/Boris-backs-Biking-Boroughs-for-capital

12 Outer London boroughs have been selected as Biking Boroughs for the capital’s ‘Year of Cycling’.

London Mayor Boris Johnson and Transport for London (TfL) will work to encourage cycling in the 12 boroughs to help cyclists and would-be cyclists take advantage of the 2.4 million everyday ‘cycleable’ journeys in Outer London – most of which are currently made by car.

The boroughs – Barking and Dagenham, Bexley, Brent, Bromley, Croydon, Ealing, Haringey, Havering, Hilllingdon, Kingston, Merton and Redbridge – will receive extra support and expertise from TfL to boost bike numbers.

Each Biking Borough has applied for financial support from TfL to fund a local study to see how best cycling can be developed, potentially including measures such as working with schools, the NHS, Primary Care Trusts and local businesses to promote cycling, installing more secure cycle parking space or improving junction layouts to up safety for cyclists.

The Mayor of London's Transport Advisor Kulveer Ranger said: “2010 is set to be the year of cycling in the Capital, with the launch of London's Cycle Hire scheme and the first two Cycle Superhighways.

“However, it's in Outer London that the greatest scope exists to increase the number of people traveling by bicycle.

“It's staggering that half of all car trips in Outer London are less than two miles in length, a distance you can cover on a bike in around 10 minutes.

“The Biking Boroughs scheme aims to harness the huge appetite that already exists for cycling in Outer London, making it even easier to replace unnecessary short car trips with pedal power and delivering health benefits, better air quality and encouraging the use of local shops and town centres.”


Lets home Redbridge do some good with the money!

More Snow!

Whilst it's nowhere near as bad as the picture above, it always seems to affect everything. So, we're apologising in advance if there is any disruption to deliveries caused by today's flurry!

Has the novelty of the snow worn off for any one else?

Swobo Bikes now in at Triton Cycles!

Our first delivery of swobo bikes has now landed , We've had the Crosby and the Sanchez Galvanized delivered.




Here's what swobo say about the Crosby :-

Based on our cumulative 678.4 years of actual city and dirt riding, over many different types of terrain and distances, and in varied weather conditions, many of us at Swobo prefer the cross bike feel for banging around on trails, commuting and road riding. So it made sense that we design the ultimate two-wheeled version of the multi-tool….and to think that there’s not a single Swiss amongst us.

The result is the Crosby, an all-purpose road or cross bike. We started with a blank sheet of paper when we designed the versatile and convertible frame and fork, which means we didn’t try to adapt an existing frame, fork and dropouts to our design idea.

Fixed or free. Single-speed or geared. Cantilever or disc brake. Fenders and or/rack. Fat tires or skinny tires. Knobbies or slicks. Street or dirt. City or country. Touring or commuting. Racing or cruising. I think you get the picture.

The heart of the bike is the frame and our frame is shaped and butted aluminum with varied diameter and shapes to give it the optimum stiffness and compliance. Square-section top tube near the seat tube makes it easy to carry, if you are shouldering the bike for cross. The fork is carbon, designed to work with the frame. Frame and fork can accommodate cantilever brakes or disc brakes.

The ingenious SRAM Torpedo hub is designed to be either fixed or free, on the fly, with just 7 turns of a screwdriver. There is no need to flip the wheel, if you are riding fixed and decide you want to coast down the big hill you just climbed. Or vice versa. Put the screwdriver in the small hole, and seven turns later you go from track bike hero to single speed coasting casual..

Our custom forged dropouts allow for horizontal wheel movement to get proper chain tension when you are riding the bike as a single-speed. Wheel removal is simple and fast, as the wheel drops down, out of the dropouts. There is no need to push the wheel forward and drop the chain, as with traditional horizontal dropouts. An optional dropout can be swapped out, for use with a derailleur. Which is a French word we don’t use too often over here, but we’re open minded individuals over here.

The Crosby will be sold as you see it, as a free-wheeling single-speed with cantilevers, but the options are there to add gears or discs, fenders or a rack, tires with varied widths and tread patterns. On sizes 55cm and smaller, we use a seat tube clamp for the rear cantilever brake cable stop. Sizes 57cm and larger sport the welded cable stop.

The Sanchez :-

Take it and make it your own. We envisioned it as a whole, but if you want to chop it, or shave it, or slam it, or French it, or Brazilian it, go ahead.

We've replicated the exact look of our previous galvanized finish, but with paint. Quite possibly one of the tightest rides out there. Quite likely one of the cleanest chassis upon which to stamp your own mojo.

Rear hub can be flipped, if you want to run a fixed cog. Comes with a single-speed freewheel and front and rear brakes.

Swobo saddle, machined alloy handlebar end caps and dual-density grips are custom, as well as the white hubs, white machined rims, white handlebars, and white chain. Custom forged rear-entry dropouts with threaded adjuster screw, for proper wheel alignment.

We designed the 7 frame sizes with a proportional slope to the top tube. The smallest size, 46cm, has more slope than the largest size, 62cm, which is virtually flat.
