The Radavist

An original member of Mash SF gets some quality video time in the Presidio. I love watching Rainier ride!

Jim C, one of the founders of Orange 20 and later, Cranky’s in Santa Barbara, held a swap meet sale at Golden Saddle Cyclery today, before moving out east. Jim brought along with him a unique Land Shark Time Shark frame. This frame was allegedly raced by Amanda Henry in the 1986 UCI track worlds in the Flying 250mm. While I can’t find any information on the bike, or Amanda Henry’s career online, Jim’s memory of this frame’s history will have to do.

The asymmetric seat stays were a common detail on these Time Sharks, as were custom stems, wild paint jobs, and beautifully-curved forks. A few more details of note include the Magic Motorcycle cranks, which were later purchased by Cannondale to become part of their Coda line. Check out that outboard bottom bracket! The home-made disc wheels are made from common plastic, mostly used in model airplane fuselage construction.

All in all, these “funny bike” designs are always a pleasure to document and admire. Jim passed this bike down to the team at the Cub House, so if you’re ever in their neighborhood, make sure you check it out. See more photos below.

The latest from Seabase takes us to one of Switzerland’s hidden gems: Derborence.

Terry combined his entire “Chasing” series into a 26-minute long feature length. Get your fill of hot lines here!

… thanks to Terry for making these videos, which beautifully capture this beautiful city.

Mash is all about simple, yet beautiful scenes, featuring a closely followed point of view, in their latest videos. The latest with Matt Reyes fits nicely in with Dylan’s latest.

There’s something very soothing about the latest video from Mash.

A cyclist sprints through the streets of Johannesburg, engaging with the city like none other.

To celebrate his 30th birthday, Dead Cyclists Society decided to capture on film one of its founders and cornerstones, Simone Sandri. Happy Birthday!

It seems like the Vanilla Workshop might bring back the Speedvagen Track bikes in their Ready Made program. I know the track bike’s heyday might be waning but surely people would race these at events like the Red Hook Crit or their local velodrome. See more at Vanilla and if you’re interested in a Ready Made track frame, email them with the subject line “track machine.”

I feel like Patrick Seabase is always a few steps ahead of me in terms of travel and cycling destinations. I’ve wanted to go to Morocco for so long and now, this video just ups the ante.

… is a good way to spend the day at the San Giovanni al Natisone Velodrome in Italy.
