Tokyo Fixed Bikes: 2012 Road Rocket
Tokyo Fixed Gear‘s frame lineup for 2012 is rounded off with their new road model, the Road Rocket. If you’re in London, swing through the shop to test ride one, beginning today.
“With the Road Rocket we went ahead and indulged by designing our dream road frame. We have used our favorite tubing (Columbus MAX chain stays and down tube, Spirit seat tube and head tube and a skinny Keirin top tube & seat stays) to deliver performance in all the right places. The frame weighs 1.7kg / 2.06kg inc the Columbus Minimal full carbon fork. The Road Rocket is a credible contendor against titanium and carbon frames with all the comfort and durability steel brings. Estimated retail price will be £775 frame only / £900 frame and fork. Our first shipment is in the water now and will be with us very soon.
We will be offering the Road Rocket as a great value complete as well as a framset with a choice of Shimano Ultegra or 105. “

All-City: 2012 Nature Boy Zona
Of course, if you wanted a single speed that weighed a little less, you could always go with the All-City Nature Boy Zona:
“Nature Boy Zona LE 2012
$795 MSRP
These bad boy’s are now decked out in black and silver and will be arriving in September.
Last year our run of 80 framesets sold out in a flash, so if you want this 1/2lb lighter version of the Nature Boy with a Press Fit 30 Bottom bracket, you need to act quick.
We are taking preorders now, so get into your local shop and let them know that you want one.
Like last year these will only be coming in 4 sizes, 49,52,55, and 58. However this year we tweaked the geo so that the 49 and 58’s mimic the standard Nature Boy (last year they were .5 mm shorter and longer respectively).”

Reader’s Rides: Guilherme’s De Rosa SLX Professional
Photos by Guilherme Rosa
As you might have guessed, the Reader’s Rides posts are hard to stay on top of. I get so many emails from people showing me their latest rides and I can’t conceivably post them all (yet). For now, I’m relying on people like Guilherme who posses a great eye for composition, as well as a Beautiful Bicycle. His De Rosa SLX Professional caught my eye. Perhaps it’ll catch yours too.
Check out more below.
