Good times at Buzzard Beach

A big thanks goes out to everyone that showed up to watch and race for KC Sprints at Buzzard Beach Round II.

Fun was had. Beers were swilled. And surprisingly no one puked. (Caitlin was there but she didn't race... maybe next time)

A few photos from the night can be found here
Figure with all the camera flashes going off there are more out there somewhere.

A taste:


Get that guy a hair tie

Pushing hard

Jones is all business

KC Sprints video

Check out this slick KC Sprints video that Lucas made us or our Lincoln race.



Pretty rad
Thanks Lucas!

Bikes all but done!

Almost...
We still have some decal work to do.
We are having some KCSprints down tube decals made up.
Plus the Eighth Inch decals need to go on as well (gotta pimp that sponsor!)
But we've got time and I'm done working on bikes for the day



"RED" bike



"BLUE" bike


The Eighth Inch Scrambler are considered to be 55cm but with its compact geometry and sloping top tube the shorter racers shouldn't have a problem.
Plus with the 440 seat posts the the generous stack under the stem tall boys, like Jones, should be comfortable as well.
Comfortable enough to race for 30 seconds at least.

Diggity!

Slowly but surely...

The new KCSprints rigs are coming together:


"RED" bike


"BLUE" bike

I know I know... those bikes aren't red or blue.
Red and Blue are the color codes Jev uses in the KCSprints computer system to denote which bike is which during racing.
The black bike with the red rear wheel and will have red bar tape.
"RED" bike
The white bike with the white rear wheel will have blue bar tape.
"BLUE" bike
See, there is a method to the madness... somewhat.

These frame sets & rear wheels (bars not pictured) were courtesy of our newest sponsor Eighth Inch

Check them out and show them some love

The plan was to build them up with completely new parts. Get all hipster-ish with colored cranks and whatnot.
But that can get pricey, plus its the holidazes and some of us fools are broke.
So for now we are swapping drive trains from the "old" KCS bikes on to them so we'll be up and running for our next planned event:
KCSprints in Lincoln, NE January 16th at Duffy's Tavern

Soon as ol' One Eyed z gets them finished up we'll post some completed pics.

Remember its cold out there... wear a coat.
