For 2013, Cinelli has many new offerings but the one release I’m most impressed with is the collaboration with Mash on a new SSCX frameset. I know a lot of work went into this bike, so expect these frames to be a great option for race season next year. Or just some off-road fun.
I’m not exactly sure what this photo is promoting, but it’s in a Flickr Set on the Starfuckers stream and I had to post it. See more photos here.
Speaking of LDG, they just posted up their Aero MKII track frames. These over-sized tube track frames have finished welds and come in four colors. Check out more at LDG.
Tokyo Fixed Gear’s impressive line up of frames are now available for pre-order. These are some of the nicest looking shop frames, so get in queue now if you fancy them. Pre-order here.
When I think of UK framebuilders, I think of Reynolds tubing, Nervex lugs, bent-rake forks, path racer geometry and a classic paint job. While Enigma definitely nods to all of these, their performance-based cycles are a lot more modern than their predecessors. Made in the UK, from stainless, Ti and good old steel, Enigma is one of the few UK manufacturers who chose domestic over a dockside delivery. Tokyo Fixed Gear is their newest UK dealer, so swing on over to test ride or purchase one of their track, road or commuter frames.
Cransylvania Hunger from Fluffy Bunny Metal sent over as much metal as he could pack into an email with the 2012 Gypsy 2’s new look and Mr. Eric “Witch Hammer” Hennessey’s section from Thousand Yard Stare. Check that out below.
Support American-made bicycle manufacturers. And beer. Lots of beer.
I really wish I could have visited KUMO Cycles when I was in Australia. Especially after seeing this Chassichrome track frame. I can identify with large frames and this 60cm Columbus Life beauty was made with Llewellyn lugs, sports a hand carved Kumo BB shell cutout and keeps it classy with a chrome fork and rear triangle. Check out more details at KUMO. Thanks for sharing Harry!
Packing a bike shouldn’t be that hard to do and yet, I’ve seen some horrid examples. Boxes made from three, with the edges exposed and the cardboard literally falling apart. Like everything FYXO, Andy did a little tutorial on his site not necessarily showing how to pack a bike, but how he packs a bike. Check it out here.
Man. I don’t think it gets any better than that. Clean brazing, impeccable filing and shorelines, topped off with a killer Bishop binder bolt. John’s getting one sick track bike. Check out even more at the Bishop Flickr.
The Kinfolk Flickr was just graced with Kelly’s gloss black track bike. Check out some more silky smooth radness here.
We already saw this frame in the Loop Magazine spread but Andrew just posted up some detailed shots of the super limited LOOP x LOW track frame. See more here.
Rittayyyyyyyyyyy Racing shows us the alchemy required to produce one of their Muur stainless and carbon road frames right here in the US of A.
I know what you’re thinking but this is not my old track bike. It’s actually a few years older than my bike was. This one’s a bit smaller too and it’s ending today on eBay…
This just in from Affinity:
“Affinity is proud to officially release our Summer 2012 frame re-stock. Get on the latest batch of Lo Pro and Metro frame sets and complete builds while they last. Matte black, champagne money and chrome plated Lo Pro’s are looking sick, and our new Metro shouts NYC with liquid sparkle blue and orange decals. The frames are going fast and once they go, they are gone. Get at em, first come first serve.”
It’s funny how that top photo makes me miss NYC so much. Looking great Jason! Check out more photos at Affinity’s blog.
iMinusD has posted up the entire Breakbrake 17 2012 offerings for pre-order. This includes their Transfer, triple triangle track, Charmer 26″ FGFS V2 and the Serpent 29’r FGFS. I love the way the Serpent looks and there needs to be more 29’r FGFS frames on the market, in my opinion of course. These are expected on June 20th. Check out the details at iMinusD.
Chevrons make any bike just look fasterer, especially in Ti anodizing. Here’s some more Firefly to ruin all other bikes for you…
Mmmmmmmm. Fyxomatosis brings us a little Friday morning delight with this 1972 Cinelli Supercorsa. Thanks for the email and morning laughs Andy!
There are two blogs that I’ll plug regardless of frequency and that’s Tracko and Fyxo. This week, it’s Tracko getting all the love. What can I say? GSC gets a lotta nice bikes rolling through. See more of this Yamaguchi track at Kyle’s Flickr.
