The Radavist

Affinity Cycles from Brooklyn has a new kit up for pre-order:

“In collaboration with the most niche cycling kit manufacturer in the business Endo Customs, Affinity is proud to announce the long awaited release of our pro track team kit. Endo only takes on a select batch of projects each year so we couldn’t be more hyped offering this up to our biggest fans.

So when the first one rolled off the line we asked NYC export and OG Affinity Employee Ben Foster (not the movie star Ben Foster but the fast as shit neo pro roadie) to pick it up right from Endo’s Downtown LA shop.

The pre order is open for 2 weeks only beginning today September 4th until the 18th of September!!”

Pre-order a kit at Affinity.

Affinity is celebrating 7 years with a very special project:

“Affinity is proud to have won 2 World Championship victories in both the match sprints and scratch race. Plus, with over 20 US National and European championships, the Kissena is the most celebrated and trusted aluminum track frame in the industry. We’ve custom designed our exclusive track frame with gold foil rainbow striped graphics, indigo sparkle blue paint and a CNC machined head tube. Only 40 World Champion frames are available, they can be purchased along with the new Affinity World Championship Jersey through the Affinity website as well as select retailers.

The jersey is also available for pre order here for the next 2 weeks and all Affinity frames sets and complete builds are available now.”

Affinity Cycles is putting on a pre-order for their 2014 frames, including this “asphalt” Kissena. Here’s the full scoop:

“Affinity is proud to launch our 2014 line up of World Championship quality track frames. Online now in our storeyou can now pre order our full range including the Lo Pro, Kissena and Metropolitan frame and fork sets.

Check out the limited edition black chrome Lo Pro’s, the new asphalt black Kissena and since black rules, we made a matte black Metro as well. To suite our simple color ways and clean design aesthetic, we’ve decided to come clean off with our graphics except for our A logo which is CNC machined into every new Affinity.”

This is true on many levels, especially for a city like New York. I’ve known this girl for some time now and she embodies physical fitness and just straight up hustle. For those of you who don’t know who Kym Perfetto is, you might want to check out her site.

You should know who Affinity is!

Props to Affinity and the Raekwon for putting this together for Ride4NY.

“Affinity Cycles and Raekwon from the Wu Tang Clan have come together to design 3 custom bikes to be auctioned off to aid those hit hardest by Hurricane Sandy. In typical Wu Tang black and yellow, these bikes feature some of New York Cities hardest hit areas, Staten Island, Rockaway, Red Hook and Coney Island.”

Check out more information below, including how you can purchase one of these bikes!

Affinity Cycles is giving away a Kissena track frameset over on their blog. Head over to check out the details! That’s a $750 value and a frame that has world championships pouring out of its bb shell.

I just caught this over on the Affinity blog and had to give it some love. Kimberly Edwards won the UCI Masters Track Cycling World Championships scratch and match race medals on her XS Kissena. So rad!

While a lot of companies are trying to cash in on Premium Rush with horrid “fixies”, Affinity was the company that supplied the movie with the bikes.   To commemorate this weekend’s premiere, Affinity has a limited supply of Premium Rush Affinity Metropolitan completes. Here’s the press-release:

“With the upcoming release of the movie Premium Rush, The Affinity Bicycle Co. has played a key role and supplied its Metropolitan and Kissena frame sets for the main character Wilee played by Joseph Gordon Levitt and Kym Perfetto, a NYC bike messenger and fitness guru who has a cameo and also worked as a stunt double for co star Dania Ramirez.

The Affinity Metropolitan ridden by Wilee is a street and track specific bike made from 4130 steel and created to handle to rigors of street riding but with the aggressive race geometry of a track bike. Unlike its predecessor the Lo Pro, Affinity’s first and more notable pursuit style track frame, the Metropolitan is a more understated work horse, with its stream lined look and straight blade fork. It comes street ready with front and rear brake options, making it legal on the road or pull the brakes off for use on the velodrome.

Catch the Metropolitan limited edition frame set in pure white, with the classic Affinity bladed crown lugged fork. Also available in limited quantities, Affinity will be supplying an original sticker pack. Make your bike rad by customizing the frame so its just like the movie bike.”

It’s finally warming up in Finland and Kim got a photo of Jukka on his Affinity Kissena. Looking good man!

This Saturday is Monster Track. If you’re in NYC, head to Affinity for the registration and be prepared to race. Rumor has it that #SF is going to take it this year. But that’s only a rumor.
