Stolen soups up the Spade 22

The Stolen Spade 22 turned our heads last year when it made its debut in the 22″ market.

Now for 2019, Stolen has souped up the Spade 22 with some more shine!

That’s right, Stolen went with a chrome (is colorway the right word here?) and tanwall tire look.

In a word, Wow.

This is a sweet looking ride.

In terms of geo, Stolen stuck with what worked last year…with the exception of making some tweaks to the chainstays to allow for better tire clearance. Always a welcome move.

Check out all the deets here.

These will be hitting shops in May…and probably selling just as quick.

Get on it.

Prototype OS20 Alpha is trick

Spotted this one in the Jan/Feb. issue of Pull Magazine: Michael Von Sothen’s custom OS20 Alpha prototype.

This rig is tricked out.

Check out this spec list (in addition to the OS20 wheels), it features:

  • Hydraulic disc brakes
  • Gates belt drive (with a custom split dropout)
  • 20 mm axles
  • One-piece CNC’ed BB junction
  • 3-D headtube.

That’s a lot of stuff going on here.

Wow.

A 22″ Mongoose prototype rolls in

You may recall an earlier post where we alerted you to Mongoose rider, Josh Hult, getting some 22″ wheels laced up in anticipation of putting a 22″ build.

Well, Josh has shared a picture of his new Lairdframe-built 22″ Mongoose prototype (with those wheels)…and boy, does it look good!

That trans blue is so nice!

So, how does it handle?

Judging from this tuck no-hander on his first ride…I’m going to venture it’s not too shabby.

Is it too early to start planning a production run of these Mongoose?

I think not.

OS20 overload from Standard

Oh man.

Just caught this on the socials today…Standard is busting out a rainbow of purty trans colored OS20 frames!

Trans gold, blue, red and green…Wow!

Here’s a better shot of the frames:

I would have a seriously hard time choosing a color from this lineup…they all look that good!

And if color ain’t your thing….clear over raw is pretty dialed too!

Hot damn, Standard’s OS20 game is tight!
