Anthony Furlong posted up two beautiful photos while I was in the throws of posting my 2011 NAHBS coverage and I could not wait to put them up. Most of us who ride fixed freestyle also have fast bikes and we can appreciate a solid track build just like the rest of the fixed world. Keep it up Anthony, these photos rule!
They’re here! Come and get ’em. Discharge printing on black Anvil tees. S-XL. I’ll have them with me tomorrow at the NAHBS for $20.
Jeff from All-City is here in Austin for the 2011 NAHBS. He just came over and let me shoot photos of the new All-City fixed freestyle components. Included below are photos of their new 14mm, 48mm chainline hubs and splined sprocket.
Check out more photos below!
Crihs is in town for the NAHBS and yesterday he and I did a bit of off-roading in the Greenbelt trails. When he told me he was only bringing his track bike, I knew he’d have a blast here but I also hesitated when I took him to the trails. Luckily for him, riding in NYC traffic, riding across the country on his track bike and winning Monster Track helps out when you’re navigating rock gardens. Halfway through the trails, we stopped to take a few photos of his Continuum track bike at the swimming hole.

Because I don’t want these two to get lost in the forthcoming NAHBS jungle of posts, I wanted to get them up today. Check out the new race from Maca and the flier for the Pedal Hard grand opening below!
Now that’s a Beautiful Bicycle. Sarah Murder‘s new track bike will be bolting around Austin this weekend at the NAHBS. I’m going to attempt to catch up and shoot photos of it. I tell ya what, the guys at Freeman Transport make lovely bikes!
Two years ago, COG Magazine was at the NAHBS in Indianapolis, where they stood before this Cherubim track bike. This year, they’ll be standing in front of many bikes in the great city of Austin and if I have my way with Kevin, he’ll never forget this weekend!
Aaron from Six-Eleven Bicycle Co. is hustling to get a whole line of dry goods lined up for 2011. While they’re not available just yet, he will be adding T-Shirts, Cycling Caps, Six-Eleven Cycling Kits, and more in the coming weeks. All I gotta say is you better bring some to NAHBS!
Speaking of NAHBS, check out Aaron’s teaser photo below. It’s smoking hot!
Just because Portland framebuilders have forgotten about the track bike, doesn’t mean it needs saving. Chris Bishop‘s work is hands down, some of the nicest work to come out of the States in recent years. I know I jock him all the time but damn, this guy has the entire package down to an art!
I cannot wait to see what Bishop is bringing to the 2011 NAHBS. Check out some more photos of Montagne’s stainless track bike below!
I’m going to be really honest here for a second. I get a lot of emails and with NAHBS approaching, the number has tripled. It takes me two hours each morning to go through them. So when I get an email from someone asking where to get massive prints made for a booth at NAHBS, I don’t even look to see who it’s from. It sucks, but it’s true.
Then last night, I met up with up with people from Colorado, some friends from NYC and Brian Vernor from Santa Cruz. That’s when Brian sparked my memory. He was the one who asked where to get photos printed. I felt like such a jackass. How could I not have looked at who sent the email? Brian’s photos are phenomenal and the dude is so down to earth.
If you’re unfamiliar with Brian’s work, he shoots a lot of Rapha‘s photography and his recent entries vary from his recent trip to NYC to Rapha’s Continental series. If you don’t follow Brian’s blog, you should!
Dude, please tell me Kyle is bringing these to NAHBS with him. I’m totally putting one on my Bruiser.
Lauren’s a sweetheart. She’s one of the girls here who’s always at every event and has a great attitude towards riding and life in general. Recently, she recovered from a nasty accident where a car hit her, totaling her bike and sending her into the hospital. But that didn’t stop her. After physical therapy, she’s back on her bike.
I took photos of Lauren and her Cinelli Vigorelli yesterday.Check them out below!
In this Recent Roll I shot some photos of two food trucks here on the East side of Austin. The first is this giant chicken by Lucky J‘s chicken and waffles and the second is the Old School BBQ & Grill school bus. Both of these are great eating but the Old School BBQ has the best burger in Austin. They use prime rib meat in it and it’s to die for! When you’re here for the 2011 NAHBS, don’t eat at the convention, head east on 6th street. You can’t miss it!
Awwwwwww. The COG Magazine crew have just updated their Facebook with a slew of photos from the 2009 CMWC. It’s crazy to think that it was almost two years ago. Check out Andy from Fyxo and me hanging out at the registration center. Also digging this one of Jason from Affinity!
I can’t wait to see the COG crew at NAHBS! There are rumors of them bringing snowballs from Milwaukee to throw at Don Walker!
You know why I like Jeff from All-City so much? It’s because he names his products after things we grew up loving. Whether it’s the Nature Boy or, more recently Mr. Pink, you can tell the guy has a great sense of humor. If I have to explain the reference for Mr. Pink, I’ll shoot out your kneecaps.
This past weekend at Frostbike, Jeff unveiled his Mr. Pink (uhhh). It’s the new All-City road bike and I think it’s the best looking bike yet! You bringing this with you to NAHBS Jeff?
I just wanted to take a minute and show my appreciation for the new bicycle repair stand at the Whole Foods flagship here in Austin. It’s simple to use, open 24 hours and best of all, free! If you’re coming in town for the 2011 NAHBS, keep this in mind if you catch a flat downtown.
Check out more photos below.
I have a feeling that Chris Bishop is going to be breaking necks the entire weekend at the 2011 NAHBS. Granted, it’s just a feeling but with previews like this, who’s gonna argue with me? Remember those elegantly-carved head tube lugs I posted before? That was just a preview of the Horton Town Bike that Bishop was building. Here’s a preliminary photo showing the master painter, Joe Bell‘s work.
For a detailed, in-progress photo of Joe Bell’s masking, check out one more photo below.
Fast Folks just got in an order of their branded Purist water bottles. These are, in my opinion some of the best bottles on the market. You can read up about Purist bottles and why I think they’re so great at Specialized‘s site. Wanna pick one up? You’ll have to do so while you’re in town for the NAHBS!
