The bars are back

The bars are back from the bender in Montréal.
They are sweet! The bends are perfect and smooth and the weight is fair for such wide bars.NO they are not available yet and NO we dont know when they will be.
We still have to clean them up, do some final touches before we paint them and brand them.

Some sneak peek info on the spec's and geo will be posted on our Facebook fan pages in the next few days.

Also if you want te be one of the first to get you hand on a set...look out for a limited introduction offer that will " Wow you and Zow you", available exclusively to our Facebook fan club members.

Cheers!

Highlands Bike Park and Feeney Films

The Yard Bikers, 508 industries and Feeney Films Rocked in 08 and we're ready to Roll for 09 !

2008 was a Hectic summer in New England. The Yard Bikers spent the summer excavating Highland Mountain and 508 Industries was busy dominating the events there. This made for a great summer of shooting for Feeney Films.

Tom and Ben Lepesqueur spent the summer of 08 inside heavy equipment. Whether building their pump track at home or tearing up the side of Highland Mountain. Highland Mountain took on some enormous trail expansions in a very short time. In New England there is no easy way to do anything on the side of a mountain until at least May. From then until mid November the dirt crew at Highland was able to blaze two new trails, build the run that would be slain for the first ever Claymore Challenge, and reconstruct one the first trails ever build by Mark Hayes' crew, NE Style.

Clinton McMahon, Rocco Quintilliani, and Mike Kent , of Yarmouth Mass, spent a ton of time at Highland this past summer as well.

These guys come from the mean streets of Cape Cod. The ghetto Life made them tough as Nails.

Both of the contests held at Highland proved well for the boys from 508 in 2008. Clint and Rocco cleaned house at the first ever Jumptoberfest and even though Clinton didn't walk away with the Claymore sword he was able to place 5th and earn an invite to the Bear Claw invitational.

So Check out my film Massive Action. It follows these crazy people jumping, flipping and burning through New England in the summer of 2008. Keep an eye out for Feeney Films in 2009, we've got plenty of dangerous things in mind. www.feeneyfilms.com

What's cookin ?

This week, we powder coated alot of Tchokr forks and I took some picture to show you what it looks like in the oven.

After spraying them with the powder, the forks and frames need to "bake" in our pizza oven at 350 for 20 minutes.On this picture you can see the curing process of the powder coat when its in the oven.

On the first fork on the right you can see the powder is still powder...and on the second one you can see it starting to melt and become liquid and solid (the thicker steerer tube take more time to get at the meltdown temp). Its a pretty cool process. Those fork are in our stock trans-blue color.

Cheers!

Doberbox

New for 2009...the Doberboxes

Very happy ! We are now entering a new era, No more "crappy used boxes"!!!
Since we started, we've always used old bike boxes that our friends at local bike shops were kindly giving to us to ship our frames.
It made sense (saving $ and it's environmentally friendly), but mostly we just did not have the budget to have custom boxes made for us.

Now, with the ever growing demand for our frames, re-using old boxes is taking way to much time. The new box allows us to be more efficient, the frames are safer on their way to you and it all looks much more professional. It might sound stupid, but for us, finally having our own box is a very big step, we have been "dreaming" about it since day 1.

Cheers!
