Big news from Rick Moliterno and the Standard crew. Read what Rick had to say.
"We are happy to announce the future opening of Standard Byke Manufacturing, Inc. This will be an expansion of Standard Byke Company. After 15 successful years as a high-quality and innovative BMX company, we have decided to expand into manufacturing our own goods. In the name of customer service, supply, warranty, and product development we have decided to build everything, ourselves, in house. We are motivated to make this move to improve on some weaknesses that have developed over the past five years. When we set out 15 years ago to build better bikes, we planned on making the best possible product as demanded by riders that want the best. We have fulfilled this for 15 years. We plan to improve our customer service and supply by stocking the products we make. What rider or shop wants to wait eight weeks for a frame? We plan to improve on our warranty process. We don’t think a rider should wait several weeks while their claim is "looked at". We will aggressively pursue new product development. We feel riding demands are constantly changing and our products should progress along with those needs.
"This is a truly exciting time for all of us here at Standard. We are excited to fine-tune our company to match the vision for the future we all share. Look for a better, stronger, and faster Standard beginning late this fall!"
