S&M with a whole new bike size

Looks like S&M may be making a special-sized Holmes frame for the taller rider who is too big for a 20" bike. This is S&M's answer, a 22" BMX size. According to them:

Lookin' to roll on twenty-twos? The new Holmes Frame, 22" Pitchfork and Revenge wheels and tires have arrived! Want one? Get your local shop to get 'er done!

I thought that I had seen the "in-betweens" like the Hoffman Bikes 18" frame and fork. Looks like the other "in-betweens" have finally happened. Too big for a 20" and too small for a 24" cruiser? This may be the sweet spot you may have been looking for.

No VP of BMX after the SCF Annual General Meeting?

Yes, that is what I was told. Apparently, no one wants to step up to the plate for the betterment of BMX in Singapore. But then again, it is not an easy task. It is either that or people do not want the responsibility that goes with it. And then, there were people who took it up because they wanted to gain something from it. I just hope that the new person who takes up that position is well-versed in BMX both locally and internationally and that person should have ideally raced in BMX races before. Then that person would have an idea what the sport entails

On an unrelated note, I have been receiving emails from quite a few people about the BMX Grand Nationals. We have forwarded those emails to the relevant parties. I know for a fact that this would not have happened if the stewardship was under my care, like it was last time. But after two terms, it is time I let the younger generation take over.

Take care all. Lets ride!
