The Bike Shop / 22 inches

I ride 7 1/4" rise bars on my 24" and it feels perfect.  Different strokes for different folks.  I have tried running 8" bars on my Model C but it just feels too weird to me.  

I think I would have liked the feel of CMC's last 22" I rode at House Park if the bars were a tad smaller.  But Cullen also has an inch or two on me...

Speaking of low BB... Has anyone ridden that Speedball line at Eastside on one of these bikes?
I'd be curious how a low BB bike feels at those speeds.

Or how would something like the Wave C feel at those speeds...(super high BB)

Don't think there has been too many big wheeled bikes riding Speed Ball.  There is one local there named Patrick who rides a 26".  I never saw him hit Speed Ball though, but not saying he didn't.  

I rode my Model C out there for like 6 laps through main line until I crashed and broke my back and wrist.  For the few runs I did make it through, it was AMAZING! Still haven't won the war in my mind to take another lap out there.  One day though...

I have hit a line at a different Austin spot called 4 Loko.  It is a fast down hill line that ends up in a super tall right hip.  I don't even like to ride my 20" out there anymore because the 24" feels so bad ass.

Vernon's InDust 22" built up.  ... :

BB still felt kinda low for my taste.  If you grew up with a racing backround I could see how you would really like this geo.  And like Vern mentioned, his front tire is crazy tall so it does raise the BB height a little bit.

Does anyone know when the Antigram is going to be out? Its top of my list also, i want to know when i can get it. Ive got to get some new parts before hand so hopefully it will be out around the end of summer.

Best answer I have for you right now is hopefully with in 2-3 months, but nothing is for certain on that.  If they don't make it by the summer they should be in stock around the world by Sept.  All of the Odyssey distros have placed orders for these hubs, which is essentially the final step before the part releases.

Can't believe I haven't thought to post this in here yet!!!  My buddy Tony Long works at the famous Mauls Bike Shop in Mass.  He is an awesome dude, does even awesomer tables as well as has this awesome blog...  

http://www.tablesandfables.com/

He has a feature on the site called "Table of the Week" and they are always usually pretty dope.  I was awarded the coveted title one week with this tabe on a Sunday complete bike on a trip in Colorado.  Party shirt table.


And here is a Tony Long tabe.  So good.  Every time.

Only tried tables in spins a few times.  But with that being said, I have really only tried to spin a few times....haha.  The Kenda Hip at Rays (RIP Brother) was my favorite opposite hip ever.  Hit the OG Red Bull box and just haul ass at it.  So good.  



Here is a berm turned dirt quarter.  Last session we all had at Honda Hills in Rochester!  Miss the Honda dudes...


PS....this is turning into the best thread of all time.  Just saying.  If there is one thing I could talk about more than bikes, it is the art of the table top.

You don't need ramps to do tables. Check out my post above, not a quarter in sight! I recommend learning them on a bank hip or flyout. I've never even done a table on a QP.

Yea, I remember seeing that top tabe photo in the PAPOY riding thread.  Way dope.  

But.... I love ramp.  I love ramp!

That is funny there is a John Rogers cranking an invert a few posts up.  Here is a picture of my friend John RoDgers who I grew up riding with.  Could fill this site with all the invert pictures I have of this dude.  


360 invert over a 6.5' tall spine on the top level of a working dairy farm barn. Iowa as fuck.  


Oppo one footed version on the 24"


regular flat style.


flatty?  not even sure what style of table to refer to this as.
