MACNEIL 2005 CATALOG
Vincere Vel Mori. We’ve spent the last four years making bike parts that we’re into. It’s a lot of work, but when we throw the new shit on our bikes it’s worth all of the time and effort that we pour into these ideas – hopefully you’ll agree. We know that there’s dozens of companies out there, and that’s why we try harder. To us it’s all based on the simple concept of looking at what’s been done, and seeing what can be improved or done better. We’re hoping to change your world. Check out our new lighter bars or forks. Toss one of the new seats on you bike; hell, get one of the t-shirts and get yourself some lovin’. In a sport of underachievers, slackers and self-professed losers, at MacNeil we’ve always wanted to show what we as BMX’ers could accomplish if we decided to quit losing. We work our asses off, ride and party around the world. Why live any other way? MacNeil has just completed its fourth year as a company. To say it’s been a crazy year would be a huge understatement. With Darcy moving to Taiwan, moving the company into a new warehouse, rebuilding the web site, switching Japanese distributors and nearly switching US distributors, it was actually freaking nuts – but we stuck to the plan, worked a lot of extra hours and pulled it all off. Big thanks goes out to our team for their dedication, Tip Plus for sticking with us, Shoe-G for taking MacNeil into Zen Distribution, Harrison for making us look good, Gary for coming onboard, and all of you for supporting MacNeil. I’m happy to say that with all the changes we’ve made, MacNeil has finally become the company I dreamed it would be. Now that everything’s back in order we’re looking forward to an amazing new year and taking MacNeil to the next level. Things are going to be good this year!
