Freestyle legend, Martin “The Chairman” Aparijo, and Gary Turner (a legend in his own right) have teamed up to produce a 26″ freestyle cruiser fit for “The Chairman” himself.
Martin Aparijo, who earned his Chairman moniker (and legend status) in the go-go ’80s, helped design the frame over a three-month period with Turner to produce what he says is a “fully functional freestyle cruiser”.
In other words, even though this frame’s got a lot of old school flair, it’s also built to shred.
Spec wise, the frame lines up like this:
- Head tube angle: 72 degrees
- Seat Angle: 68 degrees
- Top Tube: 23.75″
- Bottom Bracket: 12.7″
- Seat Stays: not listed
The frame is full cro-mo (made in the USA) with dropouts available in 14 mm or 10 mm.
Pretty sweet…and I mean that in both respects….the bike itself and Martin Aparijo still busting out tricks after all these years (but this time on a 26″)!
