It was at a race in Reno, NV in the early nineties when I noticed that Todd Lyons had custom stickers on his HARO that said: www.toddlyons.com. I admit, I laughed. It was before FATBMX was online and before other riders had their personal website. But Todd's site has been going strong ever since and recently got redesigned by non other than Robbie Miranda.

The new BOOTH (v-2) falls right in between the still unbreakable RUBY street frame and the x-lite SIRHAN. Think of a SIRHAN with NO holes and the RUBY street seat tube added, then increase the wall thickness on the chain stays for added longevity. More in between stuff as the geometry is 74.75ht and a 70deg seat tube. Shorter 13.6 rear slammed, lower step over .5mm, and now real fat tire friendly.
