Yesterday we showed you the new St Martin Ten frame, well it seems like something is in the air… Check this spy pic of the Subrosa DTT Frame, designed by Kip Williamson. 19″TT, 13″ slammed rear. 75 Head angle, 71 Seat tube. Subrosa are of course known as a street brand, so this is pretty awesome to see and hear they are getting into flatland!
Yesterday St Martin released one of their 2013 frames. Going for a double top tube frame is a brave move, or perhaps not with the recent resurgence in Old School/Collectors bike parts, eg, Haro. Time will tell. For now take look if you haven’t already. Is it time for double and triple decades to come back?
Frame specs:
Top tube: 17.9, 18.8″
Chainstays: 12.2″
Head angle: 75
Seat angle: 71
BB Height: 12.2″
Weight 1880 grams

Verde and Subrosa feature on this edit, but I am more interested in what Odyssey are up to, Jim Bauer at Odyssey breaks down the new Springfield brake design at 1:15, and the Keychain that I am really interested in and maybe some of you are, at 2:01. Great stuff from Odyssey!

Lot of people in BMX have been waiting for this new freecoaster by Eclat. Eclat is run by the same guys as We the people! That is Klaus Dyba and Harold Schmidt, two ex flatlanders from Germany! So I have no doubts this will be good for flatland too! Dave Paterson over at the Merged, previewed the freecoaster on this product site, the Merged yesterday. And theres already a detailed review how the hub works on http://www.free-coaster.com/?page_id=753

Took a look inside the hub:
I’ve never heard of Supreme Bykes till yesterday on facebook! It’s a new company from Lima, Peru. If I understand correctly then Jorge Nazario Castro is the head behind the company. It weighs 2200g – 4.85lbs. Congrats to William for the signature frame, there isn’t any details right now on the site I could find, but keep checking back if your interested. Or keep an eye on Williams fb….
New handle bars from a new company founded by Shuichi Osada called “Buoyancy” will be available in Sep. Takuji Kasahara and a few other riders have been testing this prototype and none of them got bent or broken so far. “So we can say it’s strong!” If anybody outside of Japan interested in this bars contact Takuji on facebook. It’s not clear right now if its a parts company, or frames as well. Specs for the bar above.
