Severed Alliance at EuroBike

We have begged, borrowed and sold stuff and we are off to Europe's biggest bicycle show, Eurobike. Can not wait !!

Severed Alliance goes emerald!!

Matt Gillespie is the main man behind Unit 13 and a guy who i consider a very good friend Matt will now be Our main bmx rider and is mainly Based at Unit 13 Skate Park, Matt has done an amazing job for the whole riding scene over there and much respect is owed to him for all he has done. Keep up the good work dude!

next gen proto frame built up

Got the frame built up and the whole bike tips the scales at 20.5lb/9.3kg!!!!!

Spec-
Severed alliance frame
Severed alliance fork
Severed alliance stem
Severed alliance cranks
Gusset open bars
FSA impact headset
Alienation Mr hand grips
Alienation post
DK pivitol seat
Alienation runaway rims
Oddy vanos hubs 12t rear
Federal 28t chain ring
Yaban Chain
KHE mac park tyres
Oddy pc pedals

Now the hubs are fairly hefty with steel bolts and there is no ti or anything on the bike, so if i change to 25/9 and used some lighter hubs i reckon i could get it under 20lb/9kg no problem.
