Charge Scissor F+F Prototype…
We started with the Plug and tweaked the geometry to make it more suitable for trick riding.
The seat tube is shorter giving a slope on the top tube and more stand over clearance.
This frame has Tange prestige butted top and down tubes so is quite a lot lighter weight than the steel plug.
There are still a couple of small final changes but it looks really good. It will have no break holes and the final colour is not yet determined, though i am quite liking the orange!
Eurotrip info and some spy pics…
Ok… here we go!
I’ll start with the Eurotrip, Tom Lamarche & Tony Fast are arriving in London on Sunday. Once they have set up their bikes (Tom’s new Charge… more on that later) We plan to ride in London all day on Monday. Tuesday 20th we leave for Paris, hopefully we will get to meet up with the suburbs crew and do some riding on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Thursday we leave for Frankfurt and this is the main reason for our trip, we have been invited to attend the bright tradeshow. We will be the first “fixed gear” attendees of the show. We will be showing all of our projects, past, present (Lifeact&FGLDN shoe and the FGLDNxVans bike to name a couple) and future (14bikeco&FGLDN frame and fork) . The show is on the weekend of the 24th and 25th of January, from the pictures on the site it looks to be something of a spectacle!! We cant wait to be part of this 
After bright we head back to LDN to ride some more.
peeps on the trip:

Sponsors who have helped make this happen so far…
So… more on the Charge frame!
Ted & Tom’s new frames arrived today. I’ve seen them and they look fucking sick! I wouldn’t mind one myself… I’m not gonna go into detail cos I only got a spy pic of the fork so far. Also I’ll leave it up to Ted and Tom to tell whats new. Although they probably won’t get around to doing so anytime soon!
