Based not far from Me...all the bikes are named after Illuminati and Bilderberg stuff

22' is a cool size

JT71 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 01, 2009, 06:57 PM »

and I thought that one was named after a Levellers Album....damn.

I dont really get it, but good luck to them. I know that the "team rider" at creation the other month was riding a 22" when the camera was out, and then went back to his 20" for the rest of the time. Does that mean that even the team rider would rather be on a 20"??

or does it mean riding a 22" means you can rip the park to pieces on 20"?

ie: makes you more betterer?

(joke)

the Faction website gives you some insight into their thoughts, I mean, why have a 24" when you can have an MTB?
Why not all have the same frame? (ok, essentially we all will have soon, just different stickers lol)

they had an idea, and made it happen, they are enthusiastic and committed to their product, so good luck to em.

I like them, but wouldn't personally get one, but if Stupps, Campbell, Fiola etc are seen on them then maybe it could create a demand.

Who's to say a year from now there won't be a RAD 22" section?

sweetbeats · « **Reply #16 on:** July 02, 2009, 09:43 AM »

Well said JT.

Maybe Stupps can give us the lowdown after the ROM bash...be good to see some pics if anyone is taking a camera.

Great to see some pics, so cool to see the footplant, that last pic has the identical style as the ones he did bitd.

Not knocking the faction lads but personally I would have much preferred to see him on a 20, 2 inches on the wheels make them look huge compared to 20's.
