The rider-owned Stolen Bike Co is a manufacturer of high quality BMX bikes, frames, build kits and components for street, dirt and park riding, with its headquarters in La Habra, California, and a second office in Poole in the UK. The company was founded in 2003 by Anthony Revell with the aim of making the best possible products at a price real people could afford. Revell still owns the company to this day, along with business partner David Wootten.
The top-of-the-line complete STLN bike for 2015 is the ‘Sinner XLT’, with 100% chromoly frame featuring Vortex down tube, removable brake mounts, integrated seat clamp, compact 5mm dropout, and sealed Mid bottom bracket, plus a selection of quality aftermarket parts such as Sean Morr’s signature Thermalite Silencer pegs.
The range of STLN frames features four models – ‘Cherry’, ‘Vendetta’, 24” ‘Gold’ and the new team-endorsed ‘Legion’. STLN parts include hubs and hubguards, bar ends, bottom brackets, seats and seatposts, brakes, chains, cranks, pedals, forks, grips, handlebars, stems, headsets, pegs, rims, sprockets, tyres and wheels.
The all-American STLN Pro team is made up of Morr, Ralphy Ramos and Jackson Ratima, while the Am line-up consists of Chris Brown, Glen Girbovan, Dan Kruk and Kurt Russell. There is also an international team featuring riders such as Nicolas Cambon (France), Dimitris Chatzoglou (Greece), Artem ‘Chester’ Agapov (Russia) and Steven Moxley (Canada).
