Van Homan’s New Signature Frame.


Van put up this shot on the Fit Twitter. You can’t see much, but his caption says it’s got a shorter rear end:

“My new prototype VH3 is rolling. It feels solid and it didn’t take me to long to get used to the shorter back end. -Van”

In addition I just noticed a dope photo of Van’s over Derek duster from the Fit video which I put after the jump.

    VH1 is a music based entertainment channel which (used to) primarily show music videos, but due to the bullshit of american society, has been overrun with reality tv shows.

    As for VH2, No.

    AHHH! fuck short rear ends

  • http://Website meh…

    hes had signature frames from fit before.

    after all the young hot riders left for cult fit had to fill the void so they gave van another signature frame. he deserves it, hes a street god, and stay fit let the world know he aint ready to slow down one bit. that roof gap he did 10 years ago still might be the gnarliest thing i have ever seen on a bmx bike.

    Now that’s nice. Why make ONE different frame to suit the rider who’s signature frame it is, if you can make another 75HT 13,65 CS and 11,8 BB frame, put “Van Homan” sticker on it and make him “get used to it”.
    Fuck.

    Looks like the old XS tires from schwinn. Maybe Van’s getting a bit reminiscent?

    I kid I kid.

    For real, but it wouldn’t sell for shit with a big ass on it. Never gonna call Van a sellout but this is compromising a bit.

    Isnt this the same geo as every cult frame as well? They need to keep some lil bit more traditional lengths for bigger riders. moeller would be making the LTF’s and selling an um as homans

    short by his standards. i think his old frame was 14.25 slammed. so even if i’s 14 or 13.75 now, that would be short for him, but longer to most.

    if i was van id be pissed FIT took away my frame and now want to give me a new one becus all the good riders on the team left, not that vans not good, but you know

    Exactly. The rear end is shorter then what I was riding but still longer then both the Eddie V3 and the S4. Its a whole link shorter then what I was on before (Which was the Lurch). I think its going to feel better for certain tricks. I sat down with Moeller and Christian and we went over every single length, angle and tube thickness for this frame. I’m going to test it out for a while and make sure everything feels good. Once everything is set in stone we will release all the specs. For the guys who like it really long (no homo?) BF and Inman have very specific frames coming out. I’m really excited about the line of frames Fit is coming out with. Every frame is actually differnt instead of being basically the same frame with differnt stickers.
