Brand Profile: Reynolds Racing

I got a lot of compliments on my Reynolds Racing BMX at our old guys ride. But, I was asked for their history and only knew some basics. 

It prompted me to learn more:
In operation: 1991 - 1999
Founded by: Craig Reynolds
Notable features: “some crazy long frames.”

From his own words… 

“Every sponsor I ever had (excluding BADD) I had to have a custom made bike because they were all too short. My long legs were cramped.”

He took the 71 degree seat tube on the prototype to 73 - “perfect, and long! The Fresh 40 was born”

“So I ran it out of my parent's house for a few years, McManus and I doing a bunch of clinics in the Midwest and hitting all of the NBL races. My office was my bedroom. The desk with my computer an all of my office supplies was next to my bed. I remember the phone waking me up at 3am a bunch of times, only to have some kids stutter and stammer into the phone then hang up. I guess I should have let my answering machine pick it up. Over the years the team ranged from Whitey, Colgrove, Josh Henry, Vaghun Stout, Nathan Fons (my last rider) but it was McManus and I who traveled together the most. Those were some of the best, if not the best years of my career. Very carefree, relaxed and fun. It was before bmx became a job for me.”
