Jan 7, 2023Ice F118 - Pro XXL Race-Ready BMX Bike - PRICE DROP
$2000 USDRace season is in full swing!
Immaculately maintained, light, stiff, and fast. No crashes.
This bike is quite literally fully Ice'd out - just about everything is from Ice, ranging from their carbon SWAT 2.0 fork to their carbon-rimmed, shop-built wheels. Seatpost, stem, bars, pedals (both platform for pump track riding and clipless for racing), grips, headset, cranks, seatpost clamp, chainring bolts are all produced by the French racing company.
Over $3,500 invested into this bike, with a tight black/gold coordinated color scheme. To insure the color scheme runs throughout, the bottom bracket is a Box Extremum gold bottom bracket, and the brakes are the legendary Saint downhill brakes (gold accents; definitely overkill for BMX, but they look great and bite!), and a gold colored half-link chain. Performance and looks; skills not included.
Can meet up at Rock Hill, Hornet's Nest, or anywhere else in the Charlotte metro area. Will ship via BikeFlights to anywhere in the US (buyer pays shipping).

Video: Tommy Zula Is On A Mission To Win Back the Pump Track World Champs Stripes
@vinay: Totally agree. The racing is so competitive and so fun to watch. Eddy Clerte is a monster on the track.

Video: Tommy Zula Is On A Mission To Win Back the Pump Track World Champs Stripes
Tommy is a stud on a pump track. Also, seems like a super nice guy from my brief conversations with him at the Gaston County qualifier this past spring (as was the rest of the DK/Airborne squad that was there). He’s a real problem for other riders, because he can put together some clean, super fast runs, even when the pressure is at its highest.
His big hurdle moving forward is that the level of competition is rising to meet him. At that first US qualifier, there was roughly a half-dozen competitors who all ended up making it to the world championships in Lisbon. TZ, Colin Hudson, Alec Bob, Brady Kincheloe (sp?), Amakai (sp and also not sure of his last name), and I’m sure I’m leaving someone out. That’s not counting Barry Nobles, who has finished 2nd at that qualifier 2 years in a row but has elected to not take the trip to the world championships. It’s going to be really interesting watching the qualifying races going forward, as the level of competition continues to rise.
Best of luck to Tommy Z, and I look forward to watching him race next season. The pump track race scene is HOT.
Also, good luck to Payton Ridenour, the women’s defending champ who also came home without the rainbow jersey. Payton is a fantastic young lady, Olympian, and speed demon worth watching in both BMX and pump track races.

First Ever Two-Speed Olympic BMX Bike Uses Modified Zee Drivetrain
Anyone else notice that the bike in the video doesn't have this setup? Only one cable (right side -> brake) on that bike.
