United Dinero Forks have landed!
United droped these new forks at Interbike this year, there basically replacing the current Squad V2's as they are a better stronger design with invest cast dropouts! Now I hear you screaming whats Invest Cast Dropouts? Basically it means that the dropouts on the forks slot into the legs to minimise welding, this makes the stronger and more reliable, especially for peg use! I walked past our local BMX yesterday and found they'd just had a delivery of these new United bits including United Dinero Forks and United Mothership Bars so I had a look and boy do they both look sweet! The Mothership bars have been put out to replace Nathan Williams current bars the Grande Bars. Nathan has had signature Grande bars for years now but always found himself cutting them down slightly, so the natural progression of the grande was too produce hime a BMX Handlebar that was more current to what he's using now. The United Mothership Bars are now 8.5" rise instead of the original 8.25 and they are now 28" wide instead of 29". Both these great new parts are available at your local BMX store now!

FIT 2012 Complete's
We always like to recommend good products here on the blog, and locally your not gonna find a better dealer than FoundationBMX on Nantwich Road in Crewe. Recently because I've been away we've not really been able to document the latest deliveries etc so here's an update on the 2012 Complete BMX Bikes from Fit Bike Co. 2012 is yet another where Fit's spec is awesome, with the introduction of revenge rims on 2 series completes and FIT FAF coloured wall tyres on a lot of models they really look great value bikes. The bike to the right is a great looking bike at a great price the FIT VH1 2012 Black/Red is one of the 1 Series entry level bikes for 2012 which come in at £369. I'll put more links at the bottom of the post to the other bikes in the 1 series so you can check them out! The 2 Series see quite a big jump in specification this year. The introduction of Revenge Rims, Translucent Paint jobs like the FIT Eddie 2 2012 Trans Orange to the right in Translucent Orange, also the the FIT VH2 2012 Trans Teal in exactly the same finish as the actual FIT VH3 BMX Frame. The 3 Series bikes are as you'd expect from Fit. Clean good lucking bikes inspired in design by
what the Fit pro team actually use. I think this is an important part of producing and making the Bikes sell well. A lot of the 3 Series bikes are just like this, the FIT Eddie 3 2012 Black is the spitting images of Fit's Shawn Mccintosh's bike from resent and the FIT VH3 2012 Gold is the spitting image of Van Homans bike from his resent visit to the UK for the Unit 23 Jam! The signature series bikes are again crazy for 2012. The Specs are super serious Odyssey Hazard Lite rims, Odyssey Twombolt cranks the list goes on! Anyways check all the bikes out on the links below!
