New USA distribution for Superstar.

Things changed in the USA for Superstar. A new distributor handles Superstar from today : Sidewall Distribution. After 3 years of good work for us, Greasy Comb Distribution decided to stop its distribution business to focus on brand management/development. The switch from Greasy Comb to Sidewall had been very fast. And now everyone seems happy of his new situation. Sidewall showed high interest in Superstar products, which is a positive point for our future development in the USA.
I say a warm thanks to Dave and Chistine Wootten, Dave Davenport and anyone else who helped Superstar at GCD.
I say a warm welcome to Mark Owen and friends at Sidewall Distribution. We have long years ahead of us to work in a good harmony for riders satisfaction.

Update about the stolen bikes

Anto just send me a message with a really good new, he just got his bike (along with Thomas’s one) back. They were walking on Thomas’s street on saturday night and found some girls cruising on the bikes. Weird. After some polite negociations they let them pick up the bikes. We just want to say thanks to everyone who posted the news on websites and forums, your help was greatly appreciated.



Anto vient juste de m’envoyer par message une très bonne nouvelle, les vélos volés sont retrouvés. Samedi soir en marchant dans la rue de Thomas ils ont croisés des filles roulant sur leurs vélos… Etrange situation! Après quelques négociations ils ont donc pu les récupérer.
Nous voulons remercier tous ceux qui ont fait circulés l’information en la postant sur les sites et forums. Votre aide fut grandement appréciée.

Bikes full of samples parts stolen!!!

Antony and his friend Thomas got there bikes stolen this weekend. It is a really bad new for us because these bikes were full of samples parts, like hubs, brakeless rims and some revised Revolte stems that are way much lighter than the current ones.


If you have any infos about these bikes, please contact us. Check the photos of the bikes and the parts list.





Antony et thomas se sont fait volés leurs vélos ce weekend. C'est une mauvaise nouvelle pour nous car ces vélos étaient montés avec de nombreuses pièces prototypes comme les moyeux, des jantes brakeless et des nouvelles versions bien plus légères de la potence Revolte.

Chainsaw lines on Sweet Sweep bars

From now, Sweet Sweep handlebars come with 3 cutting lines on both sides. No more chainsaw-style end on your bars. These lines are actually usefull when using threaded bar ends. A straight cut will not damage the thread inside the tube. Remember that Sweet Sweep bars have a sweet 13° backsweep and 4° upsweep. 3 sizes : 7.35", 7,85" and 8.15". Threaded bar ends exist in alloy and synthetic material.



A partir de désormais, les guidons Sweet Sweeps ont 3 lignes de coupe de chaque coté. Finies les découpes à la tronçonneuse. Ces lignes sont particulièrement utiles si vous utilisez les embouts filetés. Une coupe droite n'endommage pas le taraudage dans le tube. Rappel : les Sweet Sweep se caractérisent par un backsweep de 13° et un upsweep de 4°. 3 tailles : 7,35", 7,85" et 8,15". Les embouts filetés existent en aluminium et en matériau synthétique.



Thanks to Hellride, Superstar russian distributor for the picture.
