I know what you’re thinking: “this helmet is going to be $800.” Well, it’s not. To raise awareness of bicycle safety, artist Kaws teamed up with Bern, the New Museum and the Safe Streets Fund to design a run of 500 Watts Helmets. You can pre-order one now for $80, at the New Museum and expect it mid-June.
Melbourne’s Dirty Deeds CX league is something I’ve yet to experience in person. Once a rogue group of riders hitting trails in unsanctioned races is now a full blown ‘cross league. Pick up one of these Creux collaborative jerseys here.
Since most of my products usually sell out within minutes, I made sure Cedar Cycling made enough of our collaboration Merino Jersey. We still have stock and after a lot of demand, are taking wholesale orders for shops.
Contact Neil at Cedar Cycling directly for wholesale or pick up one of these rad jerseys in the PiNP Web Shop. Everyone has been incredibly supportive and most importantly, very impressed with these!
For the discount, anyway. Tomorrow at midnight, the price goes back to normal. So if you’re looking to save 10%, do so now! I cannot thank you guys enough for the support on this jersey. It’s been so well received.
Pick up the Cedar Cycling x PiNP Merino Jersey HERE! They’re shipping on the 18th.
Last year, at NAHBS, I met Jeremy and Neil from Cedar Cycling, a new cycling wear brand. Using high-end Australian merino wool blend fabric and local manufacturing in California, I knew Cedar was really doing something genuine and legit. Over a bottle of bourbon, we discussed working on a jersey. But since they had barely just launched their brand, we knew it would be some time before we’d have samples.
Earlier in the summer, I met up with them in SF to look at fabrics and discuss the jersey in detail. Then, a few weeks ago, I finally got my hands on one. I was really, really impressed. This is one of the nicest jerseys I’ve ever owned. We worked really hard getting everything right, especially the fit. It’s form-fitting, without being race cut. The sleeves sit just right and the front lies flat on your chest.
One of my biggest qualms with a lot of jerseys that I own is the pocket room. Especially during the winter. You end up stuffing arm warmers, a gillet and gloves into your pockets on the daily. Three generous open rear pockets hold all your ride essentials, plus two hidden zippered pockets to keep your valuables safe. The whole jersey is held in place by silicone gripper imported from Italy. The fit is true to size. I wear a large shirt and a large jersey.
It fits great and is incredibly comfortable. What I’m trying to say is, this is far from just a new “colorway”…
Pre-order one at the PiNP Web Shop today! These will be shipped on January 18th.
*One small note, our factory sewed up all of the jerseys with the rear pocket purple trim except for the mediums. Medium jerseys will have a grey pocket trim, matching the jersey. See this picture. Everything else is the same. Sorry!
I just got word that the Cedar Cycling x PiNP jerseys are going to be ready to pick up next week. We’re still doing a 10% pre-order discount, however, to give people a chance to get a great deal on this amazing jerseys.
Look for that tomorrow!

One of my biggest qualms with a lot of jerseys that I own is the pocket room. Especially during the winter. You end up stuffing arm warmers, a gillet and gloves into your pockets on the daily. These jerseys have both pocket room and ample reinforced stitching to help maintain its intended shape. It fits great and is incredibly comfortable.

I just signed off on the production sample and the full run is currently being made by hand in Oakland, California. Expect a delivery mid-January and we’ll be running a discounted pre-order after the new year. For now, here’s a few of the details.
This is awesome, random, but awesome. All three parties involved in this ring are well respected and extremely talented. Stevie Gee designed a ring for Death Spray Custom, which The Great Frog then fabricated. If these are priced like the rest of The Great Frog‘s rings, they’ll be too rich for most of our blood. But damn, they look nice!
MacNeil and Defgrip worked on some incredibly well-branded grip packaging. Oh and I’m sure the grips are solid too. Pick up a set at your local BMX shop.
I’ve been waiting to post this for a little while but had to get higher-res photos from the Burro crew for the nice, cushy blog body formatting. Japanther has a huge following, much like Burro and I don’t imagine these sticking around for long. Pick one up here! I can’t wait to see who Burro is going to collab with next. Let’s just say, I’m sure a Chicago band by the name of BONGRIPPER could use some bags and I would buy one of those! Seriously, someone set that one up.
Michael Sieben and Taj Mihelich have been friends since the early days of T-1. So it only made sense that when their respective companies, Roger Skateboards and Fairdale blossomed, they should do a collaboration. Skateboarding is a great way to get around but by the time you get to the spot or the park, you’re already toast, especially in the Summer heat. So these two businessmen thought, hey, why not make a bike that embodies both of our brands and add some pizzazz to it?
The Fairdale Parser Roger Skateboards edition is just that. A simple commuter, stripped down to the basics and with a little extra bounce for the buck. This limited run of 50 will come in Fairdale sizing of 10 small completes, 30 medium, and 10 large. They’ll be built, as shown, minus the hand brake (production model will have a coaster brake), will feature the new Fairdale Archer Bars, a complete Roger skateboard and the new Fairdale Cargo Skaterack.
This is their final sample, done in-house with spraypaint, so expect a much nicer production paint. Retail is $800 and they can be ordered through Full Factory Distribution via your LBS, late May 2012.

One of my favorite projects at the 2012 NAHBS was this Ira Ryan-fabricated Ned Ludd Market Bike. I met Jason in Sacramento and heard most of what he says here in this video over tacos at Steve Rex‘s spot one night. Jason’s a passionate individual and seeing this project get some much-deserved attention has got to be inspirational. Exceptional!
More on those Tanner bags tomorrow.
I couldn’t imagine what it’d be like to ride in Singapore. It looks amazing. Here’s a video promoting the new Peonfx and Pedal Consumption collab.
