TYRANT LEGACY BUILD + RIDE + REVIEW

Tyrant Bikes, owned by former Leader owner Sal Sambroso, was kind enough to send a Tyrant Legacy steel frame our way to build up, ride, and talk about. Gallery of the build and some additional thoughts after the jump!

Jacob Ruff – Putting The Sleeper To Rest

The Ruff Sleeper is no more. Ruff Bike Co. head honcho Jacob Ruff gives us a rundown on his final Sleeper build. Although he’s currently on a different, new bike (new name is set, but confidential), it’s still worth giving the rundown on his previous build cause it was a good one. Full gallery, rundown, and words from Jacob after the jump!

HISLOW and His Master Hightek

During the Suck My Comp 6 weekend I had the pleasure of finally meeting one of the only FGFS riders in Taiwan, Hislow. I pulled him aside during a session and asked to shoot some pics of him and his Jimmy Watcha Master build, and he didn’t disappoint. Absolute star. Full photoset after the jump.

84 Kick Courttek Bike Check

Satoshi gives us the rundown on his lovely old school style Master Courttek build! He has a lot of nice and thoughtful words to say in the second half of the video, which I actually enjoyed even more than the bike rundown.

Forkone Bike Check

Been loving these bike checks from Satoshi. In this one we get a look into the elusive Forkone’s Volume Cutter V5 build! Thanks to Satoshi, he put english subtitles on them so we can understand what he’s saying. Many thanks for that.

Satoshi Hashimoto – Bike Check

While Satoshi was in town for SMC 6 I pulled him aside to snag some photos of him and his Courttek. Although the setup may be a bit dated for some, it was an honor to meet him him and ride his bike. It’s set up almost exactly the way I prefer my Trick Track bikes. I have a bunch of other people’s bikes to post up from this same setup, so lookout for some more bike checks. For now, check out Satoshi’s full setup and rundown after the jump!
