It's a tale as old time (or at least as old as S&M Bikes). Ride the rest... then come back to the best! <br /><br />We never get sick of sharing stories about legends -- like the one and only Jason Enns -- who chose to ride S&M's when they got into BMX, got pro deals with other brands (we can't sponsor everyone all the time) during their riding careers, and then genuinely want to be on an S&M when its all about riding bikes with your friends again. <br /><br />Enns is the man... always has been. Now he's officially repping the Shield and all is right with the world.

Taking pre-orders now until close of business day April 11 – shipping beginning mid-May<br /><br />We believe 20” bikes are the original Dirt Jumpers and giving that moniker to 26” frames blows, but at the end of the day all that really matters is the ride. Our 26” BJ is designed to go fast and high, soak up bumps and brake better than its smaller counterparts. And unlike a smaller-rigid bike, a 26” bike with a suspension fork and disc brake not only roasts transitions almost effortlessly, it leaves riders in better condition to have just as much fun the next day.<br /><br />Production is underway now, but all sizes/colors will be based on pre-orders so please get yours in ASAP.<br /><br />Geometry based on 100 – 120mm Suspension or equivalent rigid fork<br />Headtube accepts 1.5” Tapered Steerer<br />Disc size is 160mm with 0mm IS to POST mount adaptor<br />Final stickers have not been decided on yet.<br /><br />https://thebuildingdistro.com/product/big-jumper-26-frame/
