Outspoken
News Pic
This rig here was built up by Mike Cottle, he's from Florida, so he surely ain't right. His mom and pops own the Outspoken bike shop in Lake Mary, Florida. Unknown fact, myself and Little Mike graduated from the same high school, go Rams! I don't know who reads this blog that doesn't get here from Fat Bald Men, in case you were unaware, we were forced to move last week. Check it out to see the chaos. ...

These frames have nothing to do with Jamaica or being crazy. Our UPS guy never smiles, he needs to drink some Jamaican Me Crazy coffee and loosen up a bit. Regardless of his demeanor, he managed to pick up a bunch of Swords today, if you ordered one, be on the lookout. The stack of boxes are on the way to MX Int. in Japan, they seriously can't get enough, as in we literally can't keep up with production for their orders.  ...

We got an email from one of our Hall of Famer's, Ryan Corrigan, this is an excerpt from his message - "well here are my rides, the bmx is a big dave special so I'll just call it an 08 outsider. with fbm, animal, and profile parts.... the race was called drop dead alley cat race and the dude in second was on a road bike with carbon forks and flat spokes and told me about training while i was drinking beer. i won a nice bag with race and date embroidered on it. and it was my birthday, turned 32 and beat all these young fixie kids. the sword is set up nice. sugino 75 (165) track cranks, mavic rims with miche hubs, surly forks, thomson post, animal clamp, profile seat, its pretty  ...

Another Sword build, this here is a custom jobber we fabricated for Jim Bauer. It features chocolate brown paint, like we use on our Howler BMX frame, and a Mid press fit BB shell, which you can't see here. You should also note the classic FBM 45T race sprocket, Odyssey Mike Aitken Nightwolf saddle and Wombolt cranks. More pics to come soon, I don't recall hearing on the news hell froze over, but for some reason it's raining in sunny SoCal.  ...

Yo dudes, Here's my take on a sword build. Black and pink. 36 spoke wheels done 3-leading 3-trailing, super pimpy. I'm no messenger but I have been getting groceries and beer (mostly beer) on this thing, eventually I'll be able to ride back from the store backwards. Thanks for getting these done, this frame is gorgeous. It was worth having every other part sitting in a corner for months waiting for this. Hope you guys like it, it is by far my favorite bike.  ...

Here's another Sword full build, total raw dawg style. Kids, we don't personally recommend going raw, things could get infected and start falling off. This bike is Eric Bahlman's, he rolls with these dudes - the Daggers. If you want your Sword posted up, email me @ rogers.johnpaul@gmail.com.  ...
