It will not be the last time I write about these 26" BMX bikes. Some companies are making these big 26" BMX bikes to cater to the older crowd. This Volume Sledgehammer is one nice looking bike. This is an excerpt from the website here
We originally introduced the Sledgehammer 3 yrs. ago with the sole purpose to give those older guys something to tool around on. Whether it be to your local liquor barn or just cruisin’ the streets jumping curbs, we wanted a sense of nostalgia. Back in the early 80’s, 26” bikes were the “It” bike for O.M. racers (old men ABA class). A decade later, the only cruisers we could find were smaller 24” bikes that were aimed for teens. Our ultimate goal was to reintroduce the 26” cruisers of the 80’s with today’s standards. With pros and industry gurus such as Edwin Delarosa, Joe Rich, Stew Johnson, Jeff Zielinski, Greg Walsh, Keith Romanowski, Jason Enns, Launchpad and many more riding one, why wouldn’t you?
Thanks guys! We older guys owe you and the other bike companies that make these bigger BMX bikes big time!
