You know you’re on the right track in the cycling world when you can start to be cavalier about high-end bike parts.
a: Dude. Where’s the box of XO shifters?
b: Oh, it’s over by the pallet of [Santa Cruz] V-10s.
Tonight we’re pulling an all-nighter to prep all the DH bikes for the Steve Peat Syndicate. Pics to come.
Spooky’s road presence had started to gain momentum as our Skeletor frame gained more exposure. There was a local rider who threw down the money for the second batch of bikes; I’m grateful to that dude in a big way. Our old customers who stayed in bikes “grew up” and are into skinny tires now too. Other people who grew up in the postpunk/hardcore scene were hip to our act too, and soon we had a new and growing family. We’ve been lucky to have some fast riders on our bikes and a supportive family to help us weather the bad times. We are winning more races a year now than we were winning in the ‘90s. I’m damn proud of that, even though we’re still fucking broke.
Great look back at some neat bikes.
