White frame looks good! When's this dropping?
Thanks man I’m buzzing on it, it should be pretty soon - I’m not exactly sure cause everything is a little backlogged at the moment but it will come in a trans brown too which looks sick.
What makes your Wethepeople Doomsayer frame perfect for your riding?
It’s responsive and easy to throw about for some technical flat bar riding, but at the same time it’s stable and strong for bigger rails, it can basically handle any type of grinding, and it’s got the steep front end for nose manuals. It’s also been seen on the trails here and there haha.
How come you’re riding a frontload stem and a slammed slim seat like it’s 2007?
Hahaha i like the feel of my bike being compact, it’s just minimal and nothing gets in the way. AK’s bike in the dig interview video really made me wanna do it though, the way he had it set up just looked so sick!
There’s some sample signature goods on your bike, can you explain more about your Juggernaut pedals and the Void seat?
I’m so hyped on both these the juggernaut pedal is basically just a mix of my favourite pedals over the years on eclat, the seeker, the AK, and the centric all in one, and then we removed all grip from one side since when ever I get a fresh set of pedals I take all of it off anyway, so I have a slide side and a grip side, it just made sense for it to come with no pins already.
The seat is basically a product of me always writing VOID on my seat (@theevoid is the Instagram I use to post art shit) i just wrote it, scanned it in, sent off the PDF, and it’s on the seat for good now. It comes in two colours - black and grey, it also comes in fat and slim. I’m buzzing on how both these products came out, shouts to éclat for letting me have creative freedom on these!
Those new eclat Crown rims look chunky! What’s going on with those?
They are proper beefy rims. I've always sworn by the Bondi rims even before I was on eclat, but I think these might be my new favourites. I've been running them for a while now and they are solid, not to mention they just look sick!
What is one thing you do to set up a bike which you have to do on every bike? What else are you specific about?
Well it was take the grip off one side of my pedals and write void on my seat but I guess I don’t have to do that anymore haha.
I don’t really know what else I do, I guess as long as the seat is slammed and I put my bars a little slanted back I just get used to everything else.
