Hi everyone,

this last days I've been really buried with work cause new 2010 complete bikes are arriving to Zion warehouse and at the same time I'm flying to Taiwan. So I didn't really find time for updating Zion website.

So, this Sunday I'm going to Taiwan to attend Taipei Cycle Show and do some work on few new Zion projects. Can't wait...
When I get back we'll have a photo shooting of new Zion 2010 completes, so you will finally be able to see them (both flatland and street bikes).

Akihiko and few of his friends took a trip to Canada last weekend to compete on FU6 and Aki got 4th place. Great job man...
He just arrived home and so you can expect some photos from his trip these days.

Jura is still in Woodward , training really hard and enjoying every moment. He is also filming a web video of his trip so you can expect that some time this month.

And last news are not that good, hehe.....Croatia is buried in snow , AGAIN !!! so we'll have to wait few more weeks before riding season starts.

Here is great sequence shot of Filip shot by Dok for Warehouse...Click on the photo to see the sequence.

Some more spy photos for you guys , hehe !!!

These are prototypes of a new version of Zion Silence and Ace frames that we worked on for a long time. I wanted to make highest quality frames so we used all the best technology that is currently available.

Here are some specs :

- triple butted and oval butted TT and DT
- double butted and tapered SS and CS
- fully heat-treated after welding
- offset CNC'd HT and BB shell
- taper lock patent design on dropouts
- integrated seatclamp

Weight of these prototype frame is a joke, only 1.69 kg (3.7 lbs) . We made them lighter for testing phase so if they can stand testing abuse with these lowered weight, production model is going to be indestructible.

We made 3 versions of these prototypes, for Jura, Filip and Aco.

Finally winter ended here in Croatia and we had few beautiful sunny days this weekend. So Filip wasted no time and made some fresh riding photos.

Here is a photo that I took few months ago, but never posted it on Zion site....Filip found this cool "hole in the wall" spot and we had a small session there...

Filip - 180 through a hole in the wall

I keep watching this video over and over again and i just can't get enough of it . Aki is so good....

Jura arrived to NYC yesterday and sent few photos of his day 1 of this road trip.
Its his first time in USA and a special bonus is when you have clown like Senad Grosic with you, haha. Nothing but fun.

Another "White Friday" edit by James White. This friday his honoring "the Turbine" and he filmed a short video with Sam.
Check out what he has to say about it on FlatMatters : http://flatmattersonline.blogspot.com/

Nothing but great stuff happening to Jura these days.

Last week he got one more sponsor, so from now on Odyssey will hook him up with some sweet parts. Today we assembled a new bike for him with all the stuff he got from Odyssey and tomorrow he is going on a really cool trip : Vienna, New York and last stop Camp Woodward.
Sounds like fun !!

We'll keep you updated with some fresh photos from USA these next few weeks, but now check out his new ride.
Zion Silence - his signature frame , Zion Pivotal seat and post, Magic stem , PMS sprocket , Odyssey Twombolt crankset, Path tires, Aaron Ross Space bar, Evo brakes...

nice ride, don't you think so ?

Probably every flatlander in the world knows about Global-Flat , cause it really proved itself to be a "must check every day" page for anyone that loves flatland.

Among other contents Global-flat gives you an opportunity to rate flatland products and I'm really proud to say that Zion Worldwide stem has been a no.1 rated stem for a looong time now.
It really makes me proud to see that riders give my work this much credit. Thanks everyone.
