Crazy Al Cayne
Today’s Bike Of The Day is my personal Sugar Cayne Newbridge Pro XXL BMX race bike! The frame is actually one of the first production run, Sugar Cayne 10 Year Anniversary frames. Since I already had sample frames done in the original colorway I decided to change this one up.
Graphics:
I was playing around with using a different, bigger decals on the down tube. I’ve always liked the bold graphics that the Prophecy Scud EVO 3 had on the downtube. So I tried this Tron style font on one of my raw Sugar Cayne frames and fell in love with it.
Powder Coating:
Once I got the got the font I wanted, I worked on the other graphics. When I originally designed the frame, I wanted big tubing, not only for performance but also to use it as a canvas for art, illustrations and bold decal designs. Re-doing the frame color and art was my chance to play around with those ideas. First thing I did was get the frame powder coated in matte black from Static Coating which looks amazing. Then on my first try I made stencils and tried to rattle can the graphics on but I wasn’t ready for all that, it came out terrible lol!! So since I messed up the the powder coat, I had to get it repainted lol!
This time I used my vinyl die cutter and made all the graphics. I just happened to find the proper yellow brand color in vinyl and decided to go all yellow. So with the new graphics, I couldn’t just call it the Sugar Cayne Anniversary bike. That was just a limited, one time run in its own color scheme. I had to come up with a different name for the frame, especially if I was to be making more.
New Frame Name:
I always thought naming a BMX frame after Newbridge Road BMX would be so cool! Newbridge was the track I first started racing at. It was the only BMX racing track in Nassau County and one of only two tracks in all of Long Island. The track closed down in the late 80’s and unfortunately is now a dog park. Upgrading the graphics on my frame was the perfect opportunity to name my frame in honor of the track.
