Bike Check: RILEY SMITH – FRESH BUILD

Wethepeople shook things up recently by teaming up with a US-frame builder to make their new Capital frame, which is actually made by WHT-House – the brand that Brad Simms used to ride for, so we know these things stand up. Riley Smith was one of the lucky dudes to be first in line to ride the sample, and here’s his video. Check it out.

“WeThePeople’s Riley Smith built up a sample of their new Capital frame, which was made in the USA by Whthous. The Capital frame shares the same geometry as the WTP Battleship (specs below), so Riley had zero issues getting used to it and went on to stacking clips.” – OurBMX
