The Radavist

Since Tracko is in limbo right now, he can’t put up rad videos like this one by Ben Ingam about L’Eroica and Avon Celli.

Luca from We Are Plus just launched the first trailer for a project called “At the Speed of Heart”. It features Italian builders Lino Messori and Paolo Chiossi (of Chiossi Cycles).

Here’s the full video from that teaser I posted a few weeks back. If you recall, 397,27 is the length of the Velodromo Maspes-Vigorelli. Thanks for sharing Marco!

Sometimes the day begins with a bunch of framebuilding posts and that’s the case this morning. I couldn’t pass up this article on Rouleur’s blog:

“When I started, the biggest problem was that in Grosetto there were no people who could work to give me a hand – I needed more people to increase production. I had to do it all myself, work the day and the night, weld and do everything. But I succeeded. At that time there were so many of us. The framebuilders back then were all really good, but with my bikes… Moser raced, and Freddy Maertens, and Cipollini. Marked or unmarked, those bikes were Tommasini, and that’s a really beautiful satisfaction. And I am still here today.” Irio Tommasini

Dodici just posted this up on their blog and I had to give it some love. Digging the new storefront guys. Wish I could be at the party! If you’re in the neighborhood, swing through!
