Damn Kim, how many track bikes and fixed gears do you have?! Just kidding. I’ve posted this one before and Kim states that this is his daily commuter. I’ve said it 1000 times: I miss my BMW.

This looks so sick. I love Death Spray Custom and this new Tokyo Fixed ONO Low Pro is a perfect example of why. Damn. From Tokyo Fixed Gear:
“This prototype was hand painted by Death Spray Custom. The ONO will be with us in late May and should be priced around £775 including a carbon fork. The frame is fillet brazed and is made using Columbus Zona with a Columbus MAX downtube & CNC CR-MO dropouts. Pretty sweet.
The ONO features the 5 dot mon on the head tube, keeping the graphics simple and allowing us to use painting & masking only.”

I’ve been wanting to do a Hold Fast signature strap for some time now but have always felt there was no need to rush things. Finally, inspiration came to me while I was cooling off from a climb in the hill country here. The trees are shade and in the Texas summer, they are a crucial part of riding. Whether it’s a roll to a swimming hole, a road ride or FGFS, you actively seek the shade to cool off. This is Raidô, or the ride and journey. The dendritic veins extend to the sky finally, I had my inspiration.
For 4.20, I’m offering a Raidô Viking shirt and a pair of Hold Fast FRS straps. For the first time, Hold Fasts will come with a stash pocket and rolling papers. We chose a grey velcro and purple lining in the pocket.
The Hold Fast FRS retail for $59.99 plus shipping and are available exclusively here on PiNP.
The high-quality, photographic-print Raidô Viking shirts are screened on white American Apparel tees here in Austin, TX by Industry. They retail for $25 shipped worldwide.

Sure, this may look like your average “bubble” or tobacco pipe but RiderPipe is cut a few notches higher than the rest. I’d mark this under a luxury item, more so than a staple: it’s for the connoisseurs of bubble blowing. These unique pipes are CNC machined in the USA from grade 2 commercially pure titanium and modeled after the Cook Bros. cranks of the 90’s. I got my hands on one at NAHBS and have been using it since.

“Hail”
This. Cannot. Wait. Until. Tuesday. All hail the Mighty BONGRIPPER. This album has been my absolute favorite since its release in 2010. If you’ve been hiding under a fucking rock, check out my original Tuesday Teardown review of Satan Worshipping Doom here and in celebration of 4.20, crank this shit up! The rest of the set from Roadburn is below, along with the entire album, embedded.
I love my Three Way Shorts from Outlier but these new Summer Shorts are the jam, especially in the new colors, Day Blue and Seapunk Green. I had to post these, just based on the second pair’s name. Both the Three Way and Summer Shorts come in these two new bright colors. Stay classy guys and scoop these up if you need some color in your life. They ship soon.
Grime just posted a preview to their highly-anticipated Shredwell Two.

This is looking damn good.
Andy from Fixed Gear London and Fixed Mag worked with Dickies on steering their standard work pant into a cycling pant. By adding a simple detail to the drive-side hem, Andy took a simple pant and turned it into a functional piece of cycling apparel.
Palms Cycle put on a fixed freestyle trick jam last weekend. Check out Gabe, Marco, Jonah, Chacon, Nick, Jamil and Rory rip it up in LA.
Here’s Flwrider‘s 4th heat of the Double O Champtionships.

Yes, tomorrow is 4.20 and coincidentally, I’ll have some new products in the Web Shop. So don’t blow all your green on green.

I’ve been enjoying the steady stream of photos on the Extra Bigger blog. You’re following them, right?
Yeah! It’s been too long. Coming in strong from Wolf Drawn is KVLT Klips XII.
Jono from Paul sent me this photo of one of the Team Paul Comp rider’s bikes. I like everything I see here.
Back in February, Adam from CycleEXIF and I took a ride from Sydney to Wollongong to see Tarn and Meg at Primate Frames. I met these two back in 2009 at the CMWC in Tokyo, when they were both living in Sydney. Meg was running Candy Cranks and Tarn was building frames and working as an electrician. A few years ago, they moved to Wollongong to enjoy the mountains and get away from the hustle and bustle of city living. Tarn now builds Primate Frames out of their home and their dog Shifter overlooks the operations.
Tarn’s work is unique. Bright colors, big, thick tubesets and yet, elegant when the job calls for it. He’s been a huge Brooklyn Machine Works fan for years and you can tell in his work. His yolks are fat, his swing arms are burly and he works with steel. Unless it’s a custom scooter, then he uses carbon for the deck.

This is very nice. I love gumwalls, bright frames and even silver components. But the dual brakes seal the deal. You can tell someone’s in this for the distance. Check out more at Superb. Thanks for the heads up Tracko.
