Not too shabby but I’m not sure if I dig this as much as last year’s offering from Subrosa: the DTT TTWOFOUR frame and fork.
Word on the street the DTT TTWOFOUR is no more for 2015.
Which is a bit of a shame really because that frame was one of the more unique frames on the market last year. If Subrosa decided to offer that as a well-spec’d complete…now that would be something!
As the sun goes down on 2013, let’s take a look at some of the most notable cruiser news items of the past year.
10. “Duffman man says…oh yeah!”…in one of the most surprising collaborations in recent memory, CULT teamed up with the Simpsons to put out the The Simpsons/CULT Duffman Cruiser.
8. Don’t call it a comeback…but then again maybe you should…We the People returned to the 24” scene with the trails-y Atlas 24. Subrosa also came back with the DTT TTWOFOUR frame. Liquid Bikes debuted a new american-made Feedback V2 frame.

7. The tanwall tire also made an impressive return…showing up on completes from We The People and Free Agent, in addition to an aftermarket tire from Stolen. Hopefully this trend will continue in 2014 with more aftermarket options.
3. Sunday continued to spread the word about new school 24s. Whether its Bobby Parker promoting #TwoFourTuesday, or Sunday featuring 24” riders in their FB feed, Sunday was reppin’.
2. Stolen Bikes’ strong showing at Interbike…with a solid lineup of completes, frames, aftermarket parts and the debut of a 26” model…Stolen showed everyone that they mean business when it comes to cruisers.
Here’s some more highlights of the different cruisers on display.
Volume brought out their new 26″ Hessian.
Free Agent gave its Ratio 24 a new cool looking colorway.
We The People debuted their new Atlas 24.
Subrosa showed off their new 24″ DTT frame & fork.
Sunday also had their Model-C complete on display.
However, my photo of it is a little blurry so if you haven’t seen it, check it out here.
In terms of race stuff, there was some race cruiser stuff on display (in addition to the DK stuff previously covered) but not nearly as much as the freestyle-oriented stuff. For a look at the race side of things at Interbike, check out BMX News and Vintage BMX.
