Krys sent me some photos a while back from the 2011 NYC Cranksgiving where she took 8th place in the girls divison. There’s also few shots courtesy of Justin Smith from her recent trip back to Charlotte. Krys has one of the nicest Scrambler builds I’ve seen in a while. If you are in NYC and looking to get a Scrambler be sure to visit Krys at 718 Cyclery and get one built any way you’d like.

2011 was another great year for us. We have to thank all of our great customers for the support they’ve given us this year. A big thanks goes out to all of our sponsored riders too for represent EighthInch and helping us test and develop new products. We have big plans going into 2012. There are some long awaiting parts that will finally be released along with some new things that have yet to be seen. Thanks again for all the continued support and we hope for even bigger things to happen in 2012!

Our photo contest came to a close last night. We had 62 photos submitted and it was a pretty tight race most of the way. In the end Harith Syahmi Adbul Aziz won with a final count of 626 likes and wins his choice of any EighthInch wheelset. With so many photos and votes we thought we would offer some consolation prizes. Check out the results below to see who won.
GRAND PRIZE (626 likes) – Harith Syahmi Abdul Aziz – EighthInch wheelset of his choice

Milwaukee will be having it’s Cranksgiving Alleycat race this weekend. All you’ll need is a bike, a bag, and about $15 to cover groceries at all the stops. All the proceeds go to the Hunger Task Force to help those in need. You’ll also have a chance to win a Scrambler frameset. Check out more details on their Facebook page.

Our new ST23 street tires just made it in a few days ago and we are really happy with how they turned out. The specs are listed below, but to sum things up they are a fast and reliable street tire. They do not have a reinforced center tread for excessive skidding but they hold up great as a commuter tire. For $24.50/pair the price can’t be beat! Pick a pair up in our store on CyclingCloseouts.com.
700×23 size
Wire bead (non-folding)
320g avg. weight per tire
120 PSI max

Ian has taken his Scrambler out to quite a few races this year. He sent us a few photos from the Double O race which he took 3rd place in. He also took 1st in the alleycat.

It looks like Kris got a little help putting together a Lockedcog 3 year anniversary party. There will be an alleycat that begins around 5pm followed by a trick comp and Big Money Hustlaz premier at The Golden Bear. If you are in Sacramento stop on out, enjoy the festivities, and don’t forget to buy Kris a drink. Check out all the details here.
