RUFF GLIMMER FRAMESETS NOW AVAILABLE

BREAKING NEWS. The extremely highly anticipated Ruff Glimmer framesets are officially LIVE! I can confidently say that these are some of the highest quality frames I’ve had the pleasure of riding and both looks wise and geometry wise, you will not be disappointed.

With each frameset you get an option of either a black or chrome fork and the frames are available in 3 colorways: Dark Black (decals by Matt Spencer), Really Raw (decals by Corey San Agustin), and Gang Green (decals by Jackson Bradshaw). The decals on each colorway came out so great and if I wanted to buy one, I would personally have a very hard time choosing one.

Here’s what Ruff has to say about the Glimmer frames along with specs:

“You know when you have that ride: an epic adventure exploring a new city, a heavy session with a big crew, or maybe just a solo cruise in the neighborhood hitting curb cuts and your go-to spots? It’s the ride that completely consumes you and is both energizing and freeing. Maybe it disrupts something that you’re doing or thinking that isn’t settling, offers you an opportunity to catch up with someone you haven’t seen in a bit, prompts you take a different route and come across something new, or maybe just gives you some space to be in your head with your own thoughts and recharge.

All of these moments are essential parts of what draw us to pick up our bikes and keep pedaling. To us, a Glimmer is that moment when you recognize that you are present, focused, when the volume of everything else around you is silenced, and all that you are doing is riding your bike.

When you’re fully in it, that’s a Glimmer.

The frame and fork geometry was test ridden for three years and refined by Matt Spencer, Jackson Bradshaw, Chase Davis, Johnathan Ball, Chase Henley, and Jacob Ruff. We are really stoked to be able to share this bike! Both frame and fork are proudly made in Taiwan.”

RESIST JBALL SIGNATURE “JAB” FORK OUT NOW!

Cats out of the bag! My Resist JAB 700c fork is out now. These utensils have been in the works for months now and I’m really happy with the way they turned out. I love colliding worlds, so my man Gus Molina helped out with the sweet boxing Cleto Reyes inspired decals. Chrome polish of course because chrome is king. Resist brake hole is the cherry on top. At 420 A2C and a long steer tube, these are perfect for either 700c FGFS bikes or to throw on your existing track bike to do some sweet barspins.

These are now available at the Resist webstore and bike shops that distribute Volume and Resist goods for $189. Here are the dirty details on the specs:

  • Dropout Offset/rake: 20mm
  • Weight: 2 lbs 8 oz

Another piece of news Resist announced to my surprise was a 26″ fork! This one featured a threaded top cap, short A2C at 391mm, and a butted steerer tube. BEEFY. Here are the specs:

  • One-piece 1-1/8″ Steer-tube
  • Full 100% 4130 Heat-Treated
  • Full CNC CRMO 5mm thick dropout

This might be old news to some of you, but I wanted to wait till I got some c r i s p y pictures of all the new products. The 2023 Volume + Resist line is HERE. A lot of us have been dreaming for this day to come and I actually still can’t believe it’s here.

Available on this first (and certainly not the last) drop are Thrasher frames, Cutter frames, Resist pivotal saddles, seatposts, seatclamps, and tires. The purple Thrasher and white Cutter are available at any of your local bike shops who carry Volume products while the gold Cutter and pink Thrasher are exclusively available on the Volume / Resist website. Only 15 of each size were made in the website exclusive colors.

These dudes were nice enough to shoot me a Thrasher frame so look out for my build with that soon. In the meantime you can grab some items from this drop on the Resist website HERE

VOLUME 2023 FRAMES

This is WILD. Volume Bikes making Fixed Gears… in 2023! While Epic already broke the news, here’s an exclusive high res look at the frames that Volume will be dropping in a couple weeks. They’ll be re-releasing the Cutter and the Thrasher. Essentially a V7 Cutter and a V3 Thrasher. I think they’re just testing the waters a bit with the market, so it looks like they’re just dropping these colorways for now in limited quantities. I’m digging that purple a lot.

From what I’ve heard, the Cutter is looking to fit 45c tires just like the V6, but with unchanged track style geometry. So that’s pretty cool news. This isn’t all that Volume and Resist are cooking up, so keep your head on a swivel for more info.

Also look out for a chance to win one of these frames as a raffle prize for our upcoming Suck My Comp 6 competition!
