Twin top tube 22 deserves a double take

Standard Bykes have a long history of churning out nice looking custom frames.

With that being said, this beauty might be one of the best.

We’re talking twin top tubes, a beautiful chrome finish and it’s built for 22″ wheels.

Talk about drool-worthy.

I think a lot of people that were about to pull the trigger on a 22″ frame might now be reconsidering their original choice and giving Standard a call.

And really, who could blame them?

Gervais Rousseau’s way of life

A Way of Life may have come out a year ago but its message is timeless.

Narrated by 44-year old BMXer, Gervais Rousseau, the short documentary (by Julien Rodrigues) talks about all the things and places riding has brought him.

How something so relatively simple, a bicycle, has meant so much to him and what drives him to continue.

Have a look…I promise you’ll be psyched to ride once you’re done.

Gary Turner testing OS20 Bike

Hot on the heels of the news that Standard is debuting an OS20 125r race frame, we learn that legendary frame builder, Gary Turner, is also testing an OS20 race bike with a 22″ top tube!

With GT Bicycles already having a complete OS20 bike (the Pro Series XXL OS20), Standard releasing its OS20 125r, and other “artisan” brands like Stout and Indust producing custom OS20 frame and fork sets…this wheel size is finally (after almost four years after its introduction) starting to see some momentum.

Kyle Forte shreds KF22 in new vid

We checked out Kyle Forte’s new United signature model, the KF22, a couple weeks back and took note of Kyle’s claim that it would hold special appeal to tall riders.

We didn’t doubt Kyle on that, but the real question we wanted to know is…how does it ride?

Well, Kyle provides the answer in this new promo vid for the KF22.

He flat out shreds on it.

Check it.
