Gear Patrol – The Ideal City Bike

July 25, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Gear Patrol covers a little bit of everything  whether its gadgets,tools, or anything else new and desirable.  They just posted up a great article on “The Ideal City Bike“. The article breaks down the entire process from researching parts to final assembly. As with most builds there were the usual ups and downs but that’s what makes it such a fun experience. They started with a Raleigh Port Townsend and spec’d it with a NuVinci internally geared hub laced to a pair of EighthInch Julian’s. They also used our crankset, riser bar and stem to fill out the rest of the specs. I must say the bike turned out great. Be sure to check out the full article on Gear Patrol and see how it all came together.

NAHBPC 2012 – Crazy Canucks

July 25, 2012 by Leave a Comment

I had some time to hang out with the current Bike Polo World Champions, The Crazy Canucks, while down in Milwaukee at the NAHBPC. Rory, Chris, and Alex are a great bunch of guys and I had a good time talking bikes and polo with them. This year is their first year as an EighthInch sponsored team and their first major tournament on Scramblers. So far the bikes are preforming great for them. They are strong, fast, and handle great. We hope the advantages the Scramblers are offering keeps them at the top of their game!

The guys finished the first two days of Swiss rounds with a record of 5-2-2 giving them the 7th seed for Sunday’s bracket. After shutting out The Royals in the first round the Canucks lost 3-2 to the Crusaders of Love. They got another victory in the losers bracket but eventually lost 5-4 to Manthousand to give them a 13th place finish overall. It wasn’t the finish they were looking for but they still played well. Some poorly timed mechanical issues along with a couple bad bounces didn’t help their cause. With the competition among the best I’ve seen at a major tournament there wasn’t much room for error. I’m sure the team will be able to regroup and come back strong as they prepare to defend their in title as World Champions in Geneva next month.

Stay tuned for more NAHBPC coverage featuring EighthInch teams and riders next week.

NAHBPC 2012 – Portland United

July 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment

I got the chance to spend last weekend down in Milwaukee at the NAHBPC. It was great to hang out and have some laughs with the people you normally only talk to through email. The heat was sweltering but there was more than enough water and beer to keep everyone hydrated.

One of the teams I  spent some time with was Portland United. Eric, Jason, and Arlyn have been playing together on Portland United for two years now and it definitely shows when you watch them play.  Their chemistry is great and they all play to their individual strengths. This is their first year together as part of the EighthInch team and they couldn’t be happier to be riding our Scramblers. Eric told me it’s the best polo bike he’s ever owned. The compact geometry makes it easy to maneuver in tight places and the handling is excellent. The splined crank and sprocket is stiff and responsive making it easy to accelerate and get across the court.

The team finished Saturday with a record of 6-2-1 to put them in the 6th seed going into Sunday’s tournament round. After advancing pretty far in tournament play Portland was eventually knocked out by the Guardians and took home 4th place. It was a nice improvement over last years 9th place finish and it puts them in a great spot going into the World Championship in Geneva next month.

Stay tuned for more NAHBPC coverage featuring EighthInch teams and riders next week.

“Hoodcellhour” via Lockedcog

July 12, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Kris posted a little edit a few days back. With about an hour of daylight left he took his Butcher out and tried to hit whatever spots he could find within a few blocks of his apartment. Nothing big or fancy on this one, just a guy, his bike, and a camera phone. Sometimes it’s best to just keep it simple.
