The Radavist

“In early 2012 when we started to work on the Quiver our goal was to introduce a frameset that was affordable, versatile and flexible enough that with a few different parts you could build your ideal bike. Whether you need an aggressive commuter, a comfortable city bike or an affordable frameset for cyclocross season, we feel the Quiver is the frameset for you.

Relaxed road geo, plenty of room for large tires and fenders plus Fyxation’s unique combination of removable derailleur hanger and cable stops make this frame just as at home as a single speed, internal or 1×10 build. Designed with horizontal dropouts, removable derailleur hanger and removable cable stops, the Quiver can be run as an ultra clean single speed or as a 2×10 build. We also made the rear wheel spacing 132.5 to accommodate a road hub or internal gear hub. Want to run a large tire? The Quiver can take up to 700x47c. Need fenders or a rack? The Quiver comes equipped with dual eyelets in the rear dropout and fender eyelet on the fork.

The Quiver is in production now and will be in stock at Fyxation dealers in mid April.”

The last Cinelli I featured in a Reader’s Rides post was all about low-visibility. As a striking contrast, Ainis Permins‘ Vigorelli is about as as far from low-vis as you can get. This one’s bright but pretty damn sharp! See more below.

Man, I think this is the first time I’ve seen the Phil Wood cranks on a photographed bike and they look great. Here’s the newest from Stanridge Speed. Thanks for sending this over, Adam.

Fixed Mag 14 is on the way March 10th. Here’s the cover and a quick run down of what to expect:

“ssue #14’s cover photograph was shot by Ian G. C. White who is a photographer based in Switzerland.
The article in Fixed #14 featuring Ian’s epic photographs is written by Patrick Seabase.
You might be remember the iconic cover photograph of Fixed issue #8 which was also shot by Ian.

It’s our first cover that does not feature a rider too.

We are also featuring:

Brother Cycles – Interview
Look Out – Jamie Kirkham
Bike Check – Thomas Poignant
Bike Check – Steve Tortorelli
Look Out – John Taki
and much more…

Fixed #14 launches on the 10th of March 2013!”

Check out Juliet Elliot riding for Met Helmets.

Back when I did the Raidô contest, Aaron at 44RN made a few of these purple anodized 44RN 144#47 chainrings. I’ve been holding onto mine for well over a year, waiting on the perfect project to put it on. Over the past few months, I’ve been slowly acquiring parts for a new track bike build, more to come!

I really would like to make it out to this event. Fixed Days Berlin is coming! Plan accordingly. Keep in touch via the Fixed Days Berlin Facebook.

Kevin Mihovich wanted his Cinelli Mash track bike to stand out from the rest by being hidden. Does that make sense? So he commissioned West Coast Hydrographix in Redwood City, CA to cover his bike in real tree camo. Then,  he enlisted the help of his friend Arthur Alvarez to do a photoshoot in the woods. Pretty clever. Check out more below!

904 Fixed have a new video out, promoting their Cog N’ Bones Longsleeve tee. Pick one up here.

Juliet’s a rad girl and I’m stoked she’s still riding bikes. Check out this video profile of her and what she loves to do in London, including being a cat cuddler.

After all the commotion surrounding that Boda Boda video last week, here’s one featuring a rider wearing a helmet and stopping at traffic signals. Is it as enjoyable to watch? I think so but I appreciate both videos for what they are. Definitely digging this though!

I’ve been getting over a wicked stomach bug this week. It’s not often that the blog is silent. Even putting up two posts yesterday took all my energy. While I could make multiple posts from these videos, I’ll just make it easier on you and me by putting them in one.

Enjoy more below!

8Bar bikes pulled a team of riders together for a 4 day, 400km, 4,000m ride. Check out the teaser above and the full ride report here.

Year after year, this event comes up and I always want to make it out. Too bad this year, my October is booked up! If you can make it, do! It’ll be a blast. Check out more info here.

With Swobo under new ownership, they’ve taken their single speed and fixed gear line back towards the States. The Divine is their new city fixed gear, made in the USA and shown here, as a PAUL Component build for around $1,800 dollars. They’ll also be offering up a Taiwanese parts build for around $1,200 but who can Resist some PAUL parts? Expect these to hit your LBS’ shelves in 2013. I dig it. Replace that stem, bar and saddle and that’s a nice looking build.

Check out some more shots below!

I have been watching this bike from tube selection to filing and all I can say is wow. Chris Bishop‘s work is impeccible and Bryan Myers at Fresh Frame‘s paint is spot-on. Every detail on this is perfect. See more here.
