S&M no longer doing Blk Mrkt?
- Thread starter Stoked
- Start date
That could also be interpreted that they (S&M) are no longer making them, and someone else is taking over production.
Too bad. Wondered about those blkmrkt forks too.
Guess that was just a limited time side-project for S&M until something else came along.
Either that, or BlkMrkt got greedy, seeking out cheaper production for increased profits and larger production runs to fit the hype demand... Joining all products alongside the Riot and components...
If this is true, I can see BlkMrkt losing sales in the future due to this, it was one main factor that gained them heavy respect.

Agreed. I would like to know the info on this. Really the fact that S&M made the Mob was the only thing that seperated it from the Riot and the .357 (besides the tubing difference. Talking quality here). Now will the new Mobs go the way of overseas as well? I too think the sales will go down a lot.
Now if S&M is going to still make the "Mob frame" and call it something else then that is very cool. Maybe BlkMrkt wants a better profit margin by switching out manufacturers - who knows.
I may just have to purchase an 09' S&M produced frame and store it somewhere.

Yeah, I caught that.
Wonder if they want to finally pull their face from behind the sheets and put that name right in front of the 26" crowd and out in the open of everyone else too (risking hellfire hatred from some of the purebred narrowminded 20" SandMan hardcores), instead of simply playing the game behind the scenes of the mask, covered by another name brand.
Or by, "some", it might just be some limited run custom big-wheelers... who knows, maybe just a typo getting outta hand, haha.
Probably all comes down to bank and clock, as it always does...
i know what you mean.... but i think you're underestimating the value of the BMX-company stamp of approval. FBM and Volume make fixies....

...or... has Chris not spoken with Carter yet... ? hmmm.. :biggrin: haha.
oh yeah, cmc, I wasn't necessarily throwing that stereotype onto all bmx brands in general... just about some of the fairly conservative followers of S&M.
Black Market is heading over seas is what I was told
