DURCUS ONE STYLIN’ COMPLETE

I can’t believe I missed this one! I’ve been seeing teasers floating around for a brand new Stylin’ complete and totally missed that they dropped in August!

If you aren’t aware of the history, the original Japanese Durcus One Stylin’ was an early 2010 trick specific frame ridden by some of the best back in the day including Teppei, Jakob Santos, Marco, and many more. Durcus One has decided to bring it back in 2024 as a complete bike! Complete bikes are a huge hole in our market, so it’s great to see this bike being produced.

With tried and true geometry and quality we know and love from Durcus One, this certainly isn’t just an entry level beginner bike. Big tire clearance, quality components, and light weight, this is definitely the bike to recommend someone next time they ask if a complete bike exists. Here are some of the details:

“The STYLIN’ is designed for enjoying both cruising and active riding.
The frame and fork are made of 4130 CR-MO to support active riding.
In addition, the fork column is made in one piece by CNC machining, just like a BMX, ensuring light weight and rigidity.

The standard tire size is 700 x 35C.
Up to 40c can be installed (not possible depending on the manufacturer and model), allowing you to choose tires according to various road conditions.

Although it is a single-speed and simple body, it is a tough bike that can handle everything from everyday commuting to active riding such as tricks.”

Available in Matte Black, Grey, and Matte Trans Navy. For full specs, check out the product page here.

Lucky for us, W Base DOES IN FACT ship worldwide! For worldwide shipping details, visit their worldwide shipping info page.

The Stylin’ frame is also available as just a frameset! Which funny enough makes it one of the only 700c framesets now available on the market. Full frame specs here

Ed Wonka Memorial Ride

It’s still really hard to believe. Last week was one of the toughest weeks the Fixed Gear community has had to endure. We lost a legend, an innovator, a huge personality, and a good person, Edward Wonka Laforte. Mike Schmitt is hosting a ride in his memory in Brooklyn this Saturday. If you’re in the vicinity, you should really consider going.

ED WONKA FOREVER

Suck My Comp 7 Details and Registration

TRICK TRACK EVENT (Sunday, November 17th, 2024):

  • Address: San Gabriel River Bike Path bridge over Coyote Creek, Long Beach
    Coordinates: (33.794708, -118.089973)
  • 11AM start time
  • IMPORTANT: Location requires parking at El Dorado park, then a small bike ride down the San Gabriel bike path in Long Beach
  • Pro and Am divisions
  • Raffles, mini games, and more
  • To compete, register here

We’ve decided to throw the FGFS event at a humble skatepark in Anaheim called Schweitzer! The skatepark allows for creativity and has a bit of terrain for everybody. The hits aren’t super obvious which in my opinion, will make for some fun takes on the park and different looking runs from everybody. Along with all of that, there is plenty of parking, grass and shade to hang out in, and the park is always empty.

For the Trick Track event, we’ve decided to host it at a very famous ditch spot in Long Beach. The bank will allow for people to go into fakie easily, there’s tons of space to work with, it’s much easier to get to than last year’s event, and you can even jump the bank to bank if you’re feeling ballsy!

It’s also important to note that this is not a city-approved event, which always runs the risk of being shut down. If this happens, we will refund all entry fees.

If you’re competing, please pre register here. It helps us with organization! Also, you’ll be charged $10 instead of $5 if you register day of.

See you all there!!

Tadashi Nakamura – The Style Edit

New joint from 84Kick featuring a very familiar face, Tadashi! Tadashi is the man. If you keep up, you’ll know he’s been riding for a long time now and has a timeless, smooth style and spot approach. While this was only shot in a day, there’s some really nice moves in here along with a ballsy handrail at the end. Great work!

Missed the drop on this, but the new 2024 Destroy Omen is now available! One of the highest rated and highest quality Trick Track frames available on the market. As always, they’ve got some really fun colors available including Impale-Mint, Fractured Sabbath, Melted Haribo, and Midnight Reflective!
