The HARO 000 has the clean brakeless look; no brake or cable mounts on the frame just clean tubing. Another unique feature on the 000 is the built in Pivotal system, the Pivotal mount is welded to the top of the seat tube and this reduces the overall weight of the bike by eliminating the need for a seat post or seat post clamp.

I trundled in to London mid week not really knowing what I was turning up to, I walked into an underground church hall with 5 display columns with one of each of these new Mr Jones Watches magnified and lit up for all to see. On first glance the watches look like a very classic style with a leather strap and metal chrome edge on all 5 of them, the interesting bit comes when I heard the 3 designers explain the concept behind there design of the watch that they came up with.

Black Label Seat Covers are made of Molded lightweight foam with stretch nylon cover Screenprinted graphics. The cover fits raw plastic Pivotal seats and comes in Black, White, Red. If you're tired of sitting down on some hard piece of plastic after a full day of riding, you'll appreciate that extra cushion that the Black Label seat cover provides.

The Vans Skink Mids have been a popular shoe model. They've been around for a while but if a model does well, the model will keep coming back in different colours, and variations. This particular pair came out of the sample box. It's the winter version with a warm fleece inside. With temperatures dropping to the freezing point, it's nice to have some cool kicks that keep your feet warm. It's got a negative waffle sole which should help you stay on your feet in

etnies teamed up with long time team rider Aaron Ross to come up with this BMX specific shoe. The etnies Number Mid comes in three colours and has the following specifications:
* Lower hidden lace loops
* Triple-stitch toe cap
* Padded tongue and mid-top collar for comfort
* Removable strap for stability
* System G2™ inserted into heel
