Known for daredevil pro BMX riding, creative designing (for Odyssey, Sunday and even Fairdale), snazzy dresser and being an all around cool dude.

My Weekender has turned into a jumbled mix of part

My Weekender has turned into a jumbled mix of parts over the last couple of years, but I love it. It makes me happy every time I ride it. I’m aware that reading a post proclaiming love for a product on the same feed that makes the product isn’t worth much. Still, it is sincere. This collection of mismatched parts, things I wanted to try out, see if they would fit, bought on a whim, or reinstalled after an experiment gone wrong, has landed on a rig I see no way to improve. Of course, there are more expensive and fancier components I could put on the bike, and our new Rockitship is just around the corner, but my Weekender will keep going.

The Oldman Mountain front rack is so handy for grabbing a bag of groceries or ferrying my laptop, U-lock, and sketchbook to work at a coffee shop (and a parking spot for my helmet while I run inside). The rear rack is handy when it rains to hold my waterproof laptop bag. The MX-4 bars and BMX stem make the bike match the riding position of my mountain bike, which I’m most used to. The Schwalbe Super Moto X 2.4 tire is absurdly big on the bike, making cornering on this commuter a lot of fun. There’s even enough grip to pedal the bike out on the occasional mountain bike trail. I switched out the drivetrain for the GX Eagle one that comes on our Elevator for big hills. Odyssey levers on the bars feel like a reminder of my BMX home.

Weekenders are fun bikes to mod, add accessories to, and, most importantly, ride on any occasion. Mine brings a smile to my face on every ride and I hope one can do the same for you.

A fresh Hareraiser for @tajlucas.

This is a large sized Hareraiser frame dressed up with my favorite DJ parts. Odyssey lever and a mechanical brake (because I know how to work on those), Odyssey Thunderbolt DJ cranks, Chromag stem, Spank wheels with some deluxe spray paint, and Crank Bros Stamp 7 pedals.

I’ve been riding my DJ a lot lately. Really fun to get myself into the air again.

It was mentioned in a meeting that we never talk about our MX-6 bars. So, this post includes all my notes from said meeting.

Our popular MX-4 bars end up all over the place and in lots of different colors, but our MX-6 bars stay quiet. They appear on the @sundaybikes High-C and on our own Taj model. You can also buy them for your own bike that might need a 6” bar. Enjoy!
