Miles Mathia

Miles Mathia and I have been talking about filming an edit for a while now. We finally got around to filming a few weeks back and within getting a few clips, Miles ended up breaking the fork on his Villin fixed freestyle prototype frame.

Broke Fork

Instead of just building a new fork, Miles and Villin's Alex Dold designed a new geometry based off of Miles riding experience on the first prototype.

They've shortened the chainstays, extended the top tube for full barspin clearance, slammed the seat tube, and raised the bottom bracket. They're also running 26" wheels, as opposed to 700c wheels, which in my opinion is a good move for smaller riders doing trick track.

Finally, after being bike less for three weeks, Miles is back to shredding!

Finally, here is Elevated's first and latest edit of Miles Mathia.

Expect to see many more edits of Miles! This was only 3 days worth of filming, there is much more to come.
