Model C Geometry Approved!

9/10/2009

The Sunday 24″ Model C was introduced at last September’s Interbike to a mix of fanfare and uncertainty.  The biggest controversy was its geometry with its much higher bottom bracket and shorter rear as compared to other 24″ cruisers available.  It took a lot to explain the ideas behind it as you might have seen in the Model C video edit in March and there’s even an FAQ about the Model C.  The goal was to make a 24″ BMX bike that could do all the tricks a 20″ could do.  Before the Model C, cruisers were race orientated and the thought of doing tricks on it didn’t really exist.  Others in the industry claimed that since they were “a former top cruiser racer” that the Model C wouldn’t work.  They basically said we didn’t know what we were doing.  Sorry to say, but we’ve been approved by riders through out the world and from companies like We the People and Fit who’ve adapted the Model C’s geometry for their cruiser completes.  It has been a great year since the last Interbike and I know it will be another great year with the introduction of our complete Sunday Model C next spring.  So, not only can you get a high end frame and fork that is required by a skilled rider, but you will also be able to get started on a 24″ without spending too much money.  Check below for some photos of the Model C since last Interbike.

    Thank you,for coming out with a complete!I’ve been saving up for the frame/fork/bars and hopefully by next spring I’ll have enough for a whole bike and wont have to swap parts with my racing cruiser.
    Sunday all the way!!

    How come sunday hasn’t got a teamrider who sticks to model c? I mean jim and aaron uswed it, they all came back to 20″s

    Adam-How do you know we all went back to it? Aaron has his own 20″ frame to promote, so he has to ride that more often. I’ve been on one for 3 months straight. It’s really difficult to switch between the two so you sort of have to go with one for a certain amount of time. I took it with me on Ride UK’s Ride to Glory trip. Watch the video when it comes out and you’ll see a lot of it. If you’re talking about the Funday I put together that was actually an experimental Funday, so I needed to ride one just so I know what it feels like. I’ll be on the Model C the same amount as the 20 so don’t worry.

    When will a price be announced?? This will help me decide wether to wait or build.

  • roadwork

    So the new Model C colors will be only white and black? What about that nifty olive design in the photos. Also, what about international shipping? I live in South Korea. Cheers
