updated Indust 24"

 A new little seat stay brace for an 18.5" 9er

Parts on the way... The seat stays for 29ers, and the integrated head tubes are due to arrive ~tomorrow.

The 22.2mm ID seat tubes for the youth BMX frames are being made locally. Hopefully the new machine shop I found can be my source for quick custom parts.

I got around to making a bronze bushing main pivot that fits in the last prototype SS/FS frame. Once the weather dries out I'll see how they hold up on the trails. I also had to extend the seat tube and make a seat mast for the thing. The 11" slopestyle height was not working for trail riding

Stout MFG: 

Been doing some outsourcing projects for other's companies. In the not too distant future I will hopefully have  some milling machines to make headtubes/s seattubes etc. I'm currently out of integrated headtubes for a few weeks, so up next are 29ers and race frames.

A new run of water jet cut dropouts for BMX/MTBX and the thinner ones are for the upcoming BMX race frames (outsourced work)

More 29ers and BMX frames this week. 

 Direct mount for Sram front derailleur. As well as "enhanced shifting performance" the direct mount allows for adequate tire clearance with shorter chainstays.

double barrel cable adjusters: these allow the use of two cables instead of running a 2-1 converter down from the Gyro. This would also allow each cable to run directly to the brake arm instead of going to a hanger. (the hanger and the cable converter are usually the parts that make the most noise against the TT)

Allied Jam

Yet another jam/contest, this time in Manor Texas. I'll try to find some pics from someone who took decent photos. Thanks to Tony at Allied Fencing for having a kickass ranch setup. That roll-in gets interesting when the wind starts blowing. Big 26" MTB wheels feel like sails... in an unnerving way.

Here is a link to the Vid that Hippie Josh made:

The Anthills Jam happened this Saturday and we had a huge turnout. Craig Swafford from Austin went home with a Stout BMX Anhills 21.1"...  I had a few crashes pretty early in the day and subsequently drank four tallboys, so the whole day is kind of a hazy memory. Here are a few pics from the jam:
