"Race BMX bike can not have gears in the UK for competion and in the US they can (or could),although US riders hardly ever use them. "

Ya. The press release for this mysterious danged bike I can't find billed it as a 'BMX' for the rider who wanted to road-ride during the week, and break their necks at the weekend. Sound idea I thought. If the Cannondale Hooligan is selling, and it is , then it's a far more desirable toy than I ever imagined.

There are some guys in Moab putting Sturmey Archer hub gears into 24" frames, too. Food for thought?

Unless I find the news release though, I could be talking out of my inkwell. Maybe Silverwolf could build one. Then we'd all want one. Jump bikes are fun.
