Solid's Rob Jensen sent over some photos of team rider Ben Kellgren. The studio shots are courtesy of his friend that works for another action sports Web site, so I won't say his name, but he's real cool.
New Solid Bitch cranks.
Attention to detail.
As you can see, this is a newer version of the Solid AA frame, complete with a nifty little Solid logo cut into the seat stay bridge. Not only that, but Ben's bike features Solid's new Bitch Cranks, which are handmade in Sacramento, available in a wealth of sizes (165, 170, 175, 180) and colors (black, flat black, white, clear, translucent red.) Bitch cranks weigh in at 30oz. with a Ti spindle, and 33oz. with a cr-mo spindle. You can purchase them online through the Solid store, which I would encourage everyone to do now.
