So its been a while since I blogged about what's happening in and around crewe and within the BMX scene in general. It's Xmas again and don't time travel so fast when you riding! Anyways I drop into FoundationBMX on Nantwich road the other day and they've more bikes than the streets of amsterdam! The latest Arrivals are the heavily anticipated Sunday 2012 Bikes! Last year and the year before for that matter blew the BMX industry away! Whether it was the Florissant Aaron Ross colours or the outrageous odyssey spec, everyone was like woah! So 2012 is guess what? More of the same from sunday! This years line up is about less colour ways more current parts including the arrival of the new Odyssey Thunderbolt cranks on the higher end bikes! This years Range Starts out with their brand New
Sunday Spark 2012 BMX Bike, which is probably one of the best spec'd entry level bikes ever made. It has a fully sealed rear hub, odyssey pivotal seat & post integrated headset, sealed BB and Odyssey Twisted PC's! The second bike in the range is another bike from the previous 2011 range the
Sunday Aaron Ross AM 2012 which comes in a a mint colour way for 2012 and features only a slightly better spec than the Spark with the latest Velo Odyssey Aitken Seat and double wall rims! The same level bike is available in the Gary Young colours check out the
Sunday Gary Young AM 2012 which is available in Navy. Moving up a notch we start to see a noticeable Spec increase between the AM bikes and next level EX Bikes. The Sunday
Aaron Ross EX 2012 has Odyssey Aaron Ross Tyres, Quadrant rims, Fully sealed front and rear hubs and a lot more chromoly in the frame with all but 2 tubes being chromoly. This spec is also available again in the Gary Young Colours, the
Sunday Gary Young EX 2012 is available in a fire engine red with gold and burgundy parts! Now for what we've all been waiting for! The

This year in Aaron's signature soda pop orange colour! this bike has it all, Thunderbolt cranks (RRp £169), Vandero Front Hub, Hazard V3 Cassette Hub, Quadrant rims, Brand new Aaron Ross Seat, Monolever, Evo 2 Brake, the list goes on! And most of it comes in Soda pop Orange! Well all of it apart from the seat Weirdly! Now for 2012 there is another surprise, as if Sunday wanted to take the spec of their bikes a little bit further, I know, your thinking how do you take them further? Well this year they have a new top end bike..... The
Sunday Forcaster Special 2012. This Bike is all aftermarket.... Frame is a actual Sunday Forcaster (RRP£299) the forks are actual Sunday Morning 2.1 forks (RRP£129) the bars are Sunday Tall T Bars (RRP£79) Hazard lite rims, brand new odyssey lincoln stem, thunderbolt cranks, basically a £1500 bike for only £999! This bike sure does look sweet! If you wanna see any of these bad boys in the flesh head down to FoundationBMX where they've got them all on display!
Peace
Its been a while since my last post, this is mainly due to working constraints! But don't fear, I'm back on it now and have I got one for you today! The United Mothership frame has to be one of the biggest selling frames of the last 10 years. They were so popular when they last dropped I remember going a skate park and seeing 3 or 4 at a time! Well some time on after the first and with quite a few revisions later, here is the United Mothership V2 Frame! The V2 Frame is crammed full of changes to the original including a shorter rear end and a higher stand over height! Loads of subtle differences along with the big ones really do make this frame a big contender to be as big as the original! Many changes have been made to also make this United Mothership V2 a better BMX frame than ever before, Invest cast seat stay bridge, Unique Brand new shape BB the list just seems to go on and on check out this from the United Website " The all new Nathan Williams signature United Mothership v2 Frame. It’s been a while, and the time is finally here to release the second incarnation of Nathan’s signature frame. The popularity of the first version came as no surprise, and we wanted to take our time to really put out a second version that took into consideration Nathan’s ever evolving set ups and riding. Using all the experience we have built up in the years of producing frames, we feel that we have come up with something that not only looks better than ever before, but also performs like it. A whole new custom down tube which is entirely round in diameter at the head tube (providing the strongest junction for welding) and then ovalizes as it goes down towards the bottom bracket to provide greater dent resistance in key areas. A full new beefed up tube set throughout the frame, new seat tube/top tube junction with invest cast seat clamp, an invest cast seat stay brace that follows the exact profile of a tyre to give the best clearance possible, a new shape wider bottom bracket which provides a stiffer and more spread apart chain stay junction for increased strength, new dropouts, all built around proven geometry, and backed by Mr Williams." So as you can see, Nathan is stoked on it and I'd wager he hopes you are too. I dropped into Foundation BMX yesterday and they'd just taken delivery of a 21" Burgundy version of this frame so if your local to crewe you can pick yours up here. Check out the rest of the spec of the new United Mothership V2 Frame on the Foundation BMX site too!
