August 6, 2010:

It's been almost a year since I last updated this page and over 2 years since Porkchop BMX began. A lot has happened in the past year with Porkchop BMX. If you've never shopped with us before, let me first tell you who we are:

Porkchop BMX is dedicated to bringing you retro/vintage inspired products, primarily for BMX, but we also stock some items for older mountain bikes.  Most of our product are custom manufactured and are therefore available exclusively through this website and our authorized dealers - we do not maintain a walk-in retail storefront nor are operators standing by to take your call - this keeps our costs low so you're buying parts for your bike, not paying for fluff that doesn't add value to your order. 

We are the exclusive source for Chop Saw driveline components, Landrace, Viscount old school seats, Duro old school tires, and we carry the largest selection of Flite padsets and donuts on the planet.  We are authorized dealers for Dia-Compe, ACS, A'ME, ODI, 43 Hardware, Trik Topz and many more quality brands.

Our business is built on simplicity: We ship our products in pristine condition, ridiculously fast, and darn near 100% accurate (okay, so we make a mistake about once every 2000 orders - hopefully it's not YOUR order - and we're going to Six Sigma the heck out our processes until we are 100% accurate).  We appreciate customers who carefully read descriptions, view all photos, and take the time to measure their bike before ordering - this reduces returns which allows us to continue to offer low prices.

Here are some highlights from the past year:

Porkchop BMX Facebook page

 We now have over 900 fans on our Facebook page (click "Like" on the homepage). This is one of the best way to keep up with what's happening here at Porkchop BMX, new shipments, new products, sales, and general happenings in the old school BMX community.

Monthly E-mail Newsletter

For those who aren't into the whole Facebook thing, you might try signing up for our e-mail list - it is also available on the homepage, a little below the Facebook frame.  Your contact info is used exclusively by Porkchop BMX and not shared or sold with anyone else. In addition, we're so busy, I'd be surprised if we find time to send out more than 5 or 6 e-mails in an entire year. For those who hate spam, this is the e-mail list for you.

Robinson Giveway

We gave away a 1997 Robinson MX that was a U.S. manufactured frame/fork and built up with top quality components (some Porkchop, some NOS). The winner was drawn July 8th, 2010 and the bike now has a new home in Colorado (see below). Our next giveaway bike is a 1981 Schwinn Mag Scrambler - all orders placed from July 27th, 2010 to October 31st, 2010 will be entered to win - enter as many times as you like.

Interested in a 100% chromoly 26" cruiser frame inspired by the late 1970's triple bar cruisers? These are being manufactured RIGHT NOW and should be available before the end of the year (2010).  The frame and fork will be sold seperately, the first release will be chrome finish, they are 100% 4130 chromoly, and will come standard with red/white/blue sticker sets.
