Scharphorn scores double singlespeed win over weekend

SCHARPHORN SCORES DOUBLE SS WINS OVER WEEKEND

Testing out his new Farmboy 29" singlespeed with White Industries/Velocity wheels with eccentric hub - Niel Scharphorn traveled most of Michigan for two days of racing. First up was the Pontiac Lake (near Detroit) TT - where Niel put 1 1/2 minutes on Spike (another GR ss honch). Then he packed up and went north to Grayling for the Hansen Hills XC. Racing the ss class - Niel crushed the field by over 8 minutes while also turning faster laps than all the pro/elite men.

Niel was testing out our new Farmboy 29" singlespeed conversion kit which we will be selling soon. The kit will be priced around $2,000 (still working out all the details) and will include:



In other race news: racing in Wisconsin at the WORS race on Sunday, Cole House made his debut on his Slingshot Ripper. He was leading on the 2nd lap with Tristan Schouten (Trek) in tow when a sharp rock punctured his chances of the win. Cole is spending a lot of time racing on the road - but look for him on the dirt as the summer winds down and the fall mountain bike classics begin.
