did the 22" bmx setup ever start or was it shunned from the get up n go.
just curious as it looked like a few companies started building them
-
:) Was it Faction Bikes? Shitestanleys are sellin` `em....
-
think Faction are still going strong.
liked the bikes, not sure why i would need one though.
one things for sure the boys are into riding and into the idea in a big way.
-
cool,just wondered
are rims available and tyres as thats the hang up
-
there was a wee bit in the current ride uk mag about craig campbell currently riding one...
dunno what brand it was tho. :(
brian :daumenhoch:

Based not far from Me...all the bikes are named after Illuminati and Bilderberg stuff ;)
22' is a cool size :daumenhoch:

and I thought that one was named after a Levellers Album....damn.

Aint Got a Clue :D S'posed to ride Good and Fiola has ridden a faction aswell.

I dont really get it, but good luck to them. I know that the "team rider" at creation the other month was riding a 22" when the camera was out, and then went back to his 20" for the rest of the time. Does that mean that even the team rider would rather be on a 20"??

or does it mean riding a 22" means you can rip the park to pieces on 20"?
ie: makes you more betterer?
(joke)
the Faction website gives you some insight into their thoughts, I mean, why have a 24" when you can have an MTB?
Why not all have the same frame? (ok, essentially we all will have soon, just different stickers lol)
they had an idea, and made it happen, they are enthusiastic and committed to their product, so good luck to em.
I like them, but wouldn't personally get one, but if Stupps, Campbell, Fiola etc are seen on them then maybe it could create a demand.
Who's to say a year from now there won't be a RAD 22" section?
-
Well said JT.
:daumenhoch:
Maybe Stupps can give us the lowdown after the ROM bash...be good to see some pics if anyone is taking a camera.
-

Jason Lunn Rides for them now too. Ex 20" BMX, then Vert skateboard, back to 20" BMX and currently big surf, legend and all round ruler!

Great to see some pics, so cool to see the footplant, that last pic has the identical style as the ones he did bitd.
Not knocking the faction lads but personally I would have much preferred to see him on a 20, 2 inches on the wheels make them look huge compared to 20's.

You might, however yesterday I tried to do an air on my 26" hardtail 4X bike and landed straight on my broken wrist, which fooking hurt a fair bit, so there was no riding for me yesterday :(
It was cool to meet up with Craig though after 25 years :daumenhoch:
