Deluxe Conversion Kits Are Back!

This week we are bringing back our Deluxe Conversion Kits! Recently we sold through a lot of parts that made these kits possible, but with high demand we were able to come up with some combinations that will keep it alive until more parts show up. The Amelia wheels we

usually spec are sold out but we are now offering all of our machined front/non-machined rear color options. That means you can get a kit with white components and your choice of white, green, orange, purple, red, or blue wheels. We also have a gold kit paired with gold wheels. Check them out at WS-Outlet and pick a kit up.

FunBikes Garage Race 2013

Funbikes put a great video together from their third annual Garage Race. What can be more fun than racing your

way down a parking garage on slick cement. It’s great to see events like this bringing bigger crowds every year. Seeing

a handful of Scambler’s there is pretty cool too. Visit Funbikes website to see all they have to offer.

EighthInch Urban Yard – Day 4

It’s been a bit busy since we got back from the Wheel and Sprocket Expo Sale but I finally had time to post

some pictures from our final day at the event. The EighthInch Urban Yard was a huge success. Our bike builders

were busy all weekend and we watched dozens of custom bikes and conversion go out the door and hit the Milwaukee streets. Check out the photos below and see all of the photos from the weekend on our Flickr page.

Scrambling Across Europe

Our good friend and EighthInch rider Krys Blakemore is taking some time off to travel through Europe. One year and three surgeries after her terrible

accident it’s nice to see Krys back on her

bike and traveling the world. We were stoked to hear the bike she would be taking was her EighthInch Scrambler. Be sure to follow @krysblakemore on Instagram as she her Scrambler see all that Europe has to offer.

EighthInch Urban Yard – Day 2

We had another busy day at the Wheel and Sprocket Bike Expo Sale. More custom bikes and conversions went out the door and we finally had a few winners in our Bike Polo Shootout. Cardboard  Woadie was a brick wall on Thursday, but Friday we had 5 people get it past him and take home a golden mallet. We will be

here through the weekend so stop and get a bike or just hang out. You can find more info on the EighthInch Urban Yard here.

to a fixed gear. This kit includes a EighthInch Amelia rear wheel, EighthInch crankset, cog, lockring, bottom bracket, and chain for only $99 shipped. You can choose from black
