Zoo York making bikes? I thought skateboards were their bag? Bandwagonesque??

i think they just collaborated on it...

ohhh!

wheres the evidence??

I'm pretty sure they sponsored a few bmxers as well years ago..

omg ... red bike looks lush!!!

The handlebars on that red bike bug me, the drops should be horizontal!!!!!!!!

scott not scot why do people always assume it's bandwagon jumping when a brand or company collabs or makes something outside their usual realm......Rodney from zoo york has been into bikes for longer than a lot of people on here....and he's had some dope bikes too!
Zoo York used to be a great independent skate company (I was very proud of my "Brooklyn Bridge" deck back in the day) but now I only ever see non skaters wearing their t-shirts. I'd kinda assumed this was a sign that the brand had gone main stream to sell product - and that this bike was an example of them trying to get their edge back by associating with some other new 'cool' thing, not skating. If the guys who runs Zoo York is into bikes, then good on him. Just didn't expect to see a Zoo York branded bike.

Its sad but Mr. Zoo York is just doing what everyone else is doing in the world - trying to make money. I think its a sign of the all-dominating cynicism that people/companies have when it comes to finance when they exploit "legitimacy" (as in being affiliated with the cool new activity or whatever) as a way of increasing their sales. Or at least increasing their potential consumer base.

That being said I don't see the zoo york bike as a particularly bad example of this, take the langster for example! And even that is probably the most affordable/stable entry into riding fixed. I don't know if it's actually worth boycotting or opposing things like that. Theyre the cynical bastards clinging to any outburst of genuine interest - perhaps we should just ignore their cynicism and concentrate on being cool instead :)

totally agree with everuthing scott says. Nothing wrong with earning a decent living and developing what started as an underground company. As long as the product is good. If all cool brands need to remain underground in order to stay cool the world would be dominated only by big and not necesseraly very good brands.

After making....my....way through....all....those dots.... I completely agree as well. There is always a new bespoke, exclusive, small, traditional [insert high brow brand rating] ready to take their place when a brand falls from your favour by diversifying, experimenting or becoming popular anyway.

scott not scot Brands don't pick customers...customers pick brands!
zoo york started as an underground company...their products were bought by the small minority of people that traveled in their circles,then other people see their products,and buy them...the word spreads and before you know it the name is well known and all kinds of people are wearing their gear...but at what point are you guys expecting the company to close its doors??? the guys at zoo york do what they do because they love it...and they're now making good money...but like i said,they don't choose their customers...ask yourself this...if it was your company,would you close it down just because non skaters were also buying your tees? would you tell shops that they could only sell to people carrying a skateboard?...of course you wouldn't...we all buy track bikes but most of them have never been near a track...we buy running shoes to walk in...we buy messenger bags when we're not messengers...we buy these things because we like them and they work for what we need them too...don't be critical of a company just because it has been succesful and grown...underground might please you...but i guarantee it doesn't pay their bills...success pays their bills and allows them to keep doing what they've always done! amen!

getting all exclusive over something is stupid. That is the same attitude that people get upset about when people get called a F**k*ng*r. Nowone owns the skate look e.t.c.

its a bit like when people say shit like
"i dont like banksy anymore!"
"why?"
"because he sold out"
"so you would't sell paintings for thousands of pounds?"
"well yeah but......."

no it aint....banksy is a hypocrite thats why people say they dont like him

im with my brother from another mother aidan on this one!

got your back bro ha ha two aidan make a wright!

its because throughout everything he says is anti consumerist and for a long time he lived up to what he say...as an art student myself i understand the whole would u sell your anyone would but the reason why he was so cool when he was underground was because of what he was saying and he has become a hypicrite, but, on the other hand u gotta hand it to the guy hes done well for himself...

but i don't like him cause im like so totally cool and anti conformist! yeah fuk everything! im gunna go look at my totaly cool myspace page!

peace YA'LL!

haaaaa....

i dont know the ins and outs of what he stood for but it bugs me when
whenever people do well out of things they are labelled as selling out.

hardly anyone will turn down money.
