So Dustin, one of our employees has a complete machine shop at his house.  I went to school to aquire an engineering degree and have been addicted to bikes for a long time.  He is an eclectic madman with the skills in the metal department.  I have the mathmatics to make sure the bikes are strong.  That combination pushed g.h.y. bikes into buying an anvil frame jig and we are going to be producing frames within the next year.  As I started to do research on all of the geometries and what not I found this picture.

  We are not going to be producing bikes like this….but you never know??  HaHaHa.

Here is more to sink your teeth into.  For all of you who like to ride skateparks and those of you who like to ride with the pros, here is the deal.  The skatebarn will allow bikes in on friday Oct. 24th from 3-9 for only $10.  If you ride during that time you can stay for the videos also for no charge.  If you just want to see the movies show up between 7 and 9 P.M.  (SHow will start around 9:15.  We are premiering two videos.  The first is going to be the Summer of Shred featuring Phil Sundbaum and his riding over this past summer.  Should be cool to see all of the things that he has done and all the people he has met.  Next is the movie that everyone waits for every year, New World Disorder (9 NEVER ENOUGH).  The cool part is that we will have some Pro’s showing up and throwin down with ya!!!

So just to recap here.  Come to the best night of your life.  Spend only $10 bucks to get in.  Show up to ride or watch.  Movies start at around 9 p.m.   Doors open to ride at 3 p.m.   Doors open to be a spectator at 7 p.m.  Theres a raffle to win a ton of crap from Haro, Deity, Gravity, Pro Tec, Go Huck Yourself, Grenade and more.  And there is going to be some sick riders in the house.  Location Skatebarn in Renton.  Nuff Said.

This is going to be one sick party.  Heres the deal.  We have partnered with the skatebarn in order to let you have a super session for bikes.  Normally bikes are not allowed on Fridays but we talked them into letting you ride from 3 P.M. all the way to 9 P.M. for only $10.  Then if you want to stick around we will have the premier of two killer videos (New World Disorder 9 and Summer of Shred).  If you just want to watch the vids then come any time after 7 P.M. and the show will start around 9 O’clock.  Price at the door will be $10 for the show of a lifetime.  We have some Pro’s that are coming into town to ride with all of you.  So come watch the Pro’s then some videos.

We are going to have a huge raffle with the grand prize coming from Haro.  It is going to be a Haro Thread 1.

Much more details of who is coming and the other sponsors as soon as we have verification.

This year we went down to Vegas again and it was an interesting show.  I thought that there would be a clear change in focus to commuter style bikes.  The focus was jsut the same as the previous years.  Am I getting bored with Interbike and the tons of product shoved in your face?  Maybe but I did pick out a few gems with help from Drew our resident super nerd.  I thought that the Turner was one of my favorite things about the show.  There was also the New World Disorder premier in Vegas that was super high in the Palms.  By the way we will be premiering that flick in a couple of weeks Oct. 24th.  Details to come later.  Look at all of the pics on the next page!!!

…and the beers/bikes/cross promotional marketing she has created!

Jesse was chomping at the bit to build up his new traitor ringleader.  This is probably the most patriotic bike I have ever seen.  It is vomitting america, but in a good way.

What is red, white, and blue all over?

I was talking to my friend Val Kleitz from Seattle Bike Supply. He told me about another company that had made something quite similar to the HammerSchmidt.  These guys have been doing this atleast since 2003.  Thats as far as Wayback Machine would let me go.  It is a Swiss company, no suprise with their fine precision watches and sneaky bank accounts.  Check out Schlumpf for something different.  ALso this link to the big yellow site shows how it is shifted with your foot (scroll down).

Just got in the new November Issue of Decline and it is FAT! This thing is worth it just for the paper alone. I thought you might forget to purchase the new one and miss out on this collectors edition. Glossy and matte finish with the front and back cover with photos. They also show you how the shot on the cover was accomplished. Just come on down to ghy bikes in Renton. We are you local family downtown bicycle shop with an edge!
