Something that made me real stoked was sent to my inbox this morning. It’s been announced that Mike Schmitt will be getting a signature frame via Capone Bikes named the Cardinal. This is one of the dudes who definitely deserves his own sig frame. As well as riding for Capone, he will also be handling US distribution of Capone stuff. More info on that soon. Too stoked for this guy! Check back here for details.

Chackong just updated their webstore with a ton of new FGFS goodies. Some of their new additions include:
Elliott Milner announced today that he will have a signature frame with Bombtrack called the “Zion” frame. If anyone deserves a signature frame, it’s definitely this dude right here. Stoked for my dude! Stay tuned for more info to come and follow Elliott on instagram @elliottmilner . Here’s what Elliott has to say about it:
“It’s not everyday you get to accomplish a childhood dream. So grateful to all the amazing people over at #bombtrack for allowing this to become a reality. My signature Zion frame is finally here! Be on the look out @bombtrackbicycleco will keep you up to speed on release dates and specs. Favor abounds!”
Anthem sent over some of the first pictures of their new 2016 Frames including the FGFS specific “Comply” frame, and their new 26″ BMX frame titled the “FMS” (110mm rear spacing). The new models now include a top tube gusset, chainstay grind plates, and spacing for 2.5 tires as well as the same 8mm thick dropouts that accommodate up to 42mm diameter pegs. The fork will be a 405mm a2c with a 20mm rake. No details on the geometry of these frames yet, but they look killer. Stay tuned for more info and follow @anthembikeco on the gram.
2016 Comply
Fewer and fewer FGFS companies have been in existence over the last few years and people don’t know where to get parts. This post is to shine some light on people who don’t know where to turn for new FGFS specific stuff. Share this with the people who keep complaining about broken shit on their bikes.
Chackong (Makers of Pagan and Samten Bikes) dropped a ton of FGFS content from a bunch of different riders out in China killing it.
Here’s some shots we got of Anthem Co-Owner Christian Ustarroz and his beautiful murdered out Anthem Comply build. Sporting a new SMC Galaxy Pocket Tee too. Expect some stuff from Anthem soon! More photos after the jump.

Chackong’s (Maker of Pagan, Samten, and Cohesion frames) big cartel just opened and features a bunch of different FGFS frames and hubs. The paint jobs on these frames are looking beautiful. Really digging those oil slick looks. Chackong operates out of China and ships worldwide. To order, for more information about frame geometry, and more pictures, check out his website here!
