These were examples of
the last of the SSX series before they were finally discontinued. It
was difficult to see these go, as this was our longest reigning
series before their end in 2005. If we can get enough funding, we
hope the SS/SSX series can make a comeback.
Also in 2001, we started
working with our Glory series. This alloy ranged from a B0.5 design,
as shown with the 20" Rock ride above, to a B7.5 design, as shown
with the 16" crash above. This series never fully took off, as it
didn't make it to regular production. This series remained in
advanced prototype stages for 3 years before discontinuing in 2004.
The 'Saluda USA' stamp
was introduced in July, 2005 The need for this stamp was minimized
once our engraved logos were later introduced in September 2005.
These are examples of
our first set of engraved logos. This style was discontinued in
April 2005 to favor a more classic style logo.
