RIP resurrection
by Martin
|
 Since the first edition of RIP frames were sold out rapidly and a lot of riders still wanted to get one they decided to drop a second limited edition of the RIP frame.
So, after coming back from death the bone white "RIP resurrection" has some new features:
- More butted tubing to lose weight in area’s where it’s not needed
- improved dropouts
- narrower chainstay tubes to avoid trouble with small sprockets
- the seattube is fluted to save weight.
The toptube length is 18.85" and the weight is 200g lower now with 1.9kg / 4.189lbs.
More information: KHE - RIP Resurrection

Flatland week on FATBMX
by Martin
|
 Did you notice that itīs Flatland week on FATBMX?
"We wouldnīt say itīs nothing but flatland but the majority of the posts are flatland related. Why? because flatland deserves more coverage than it gets and by interviewing some of the key flatland players you will get a better idea of what flatland riding is all about. Has FATBMX turned into a flatland site? No, not really. We just wanted to show some respect to the flatland world."
Besides many videos there are already a couple of good articles like a Terry Adams interview and an interview with KGB co-owner Martti Kuoppa. Props for FATBMX for doing the Flatland week!
