Fyxomatosis knows that looks are everything. Polish your aluminum, glue on new gumwalls, break out the Brikos and zip up the FYXO jersey. Nice shot man!

Doug from 160over90 sent over their team kits. Sure, lycra is lycra to most but anyone who posts their design process and sketches deserves a little recognition. Head over and check it out. I’m way into these.

It’s true. I’ve seen them with my own eyes. Expect yours shortly. Endo and GSC did a great job on these.

This looks killer.

“DUE IN STOCK MID JUNE. A tribute to the combative Colombian riders of the 1980s, this high-performance cycling jersey has been developed for the hottest, most humid conditions. It is made from three proprietary technical fabrics developed exclusively for Rapha.

Please note: $5 from each jersey will go to the Rigoberto Urán Cycling Club in Urrao, which gives disadvantaged children in Colombia the opportunity to ride and race bikes.”

$150 from Rapha. Sign up for their email notifications to be alerted when it’s in stock.

Bike Jerks has a fancy new kit for pre-order up on their blog. Twin Six makes superb cyclewear and Jeff did a great job on this one. Head over to swoop!

To celebrate the bird of prey, the bearded vulture, or Lammergeier, that inhabit one of the most dangerous loops in the Pyrenees mountains, Rapha designed the Circle of Death Jersey. Here’s a little background:

“Circle of Death is the infamous loop of Pyrenean mountains that contains the Col d’Aubisque, Col d’Aspin, Col de Peyresourde and the mighty Col du Tourmalet – all of which feature on the route of this year’s Etape Acte II, Pau-Luchon. The first riders to challenge these punishing ascents were understandably apprehensive about what awaited them; not simply the altitude but the creatures that resided there, such as bears and vultures.

While bears are now rarely seen in these parts, birds of prey still patrol the valleys and peaks. And none are more mercurial than the Lammergeier, or bearded vulture. Feeding mostly from carcasses of dead animals, the Lammergeier can swallow whole bones up to the size of a lamb’s femur and its powerful digestive system quickly dissolves even large pieces. The Lammergeier has learned to crack bones too large to be swallowed by carrying them up to a height and then dropping them onto rocks below, smashing them into smaller pieces and exposing the nutritious marrow. Its old name of Ossifrage meaning bone breaker relates to this habit. For intrepid Etape riders labouring up these monstrous climbs, the sight of the birds circling overhead is likely to be an ominous one.”

Check out more details at Rapha. I love the eye-colored buttons!

I really love this Kirschner video and the entire branding that we looked at the other day.

After multiple requests for their 2012 club kits, Geekhouse has posted up a pre-order. Get on it now! These are race cut, so don’t let the “club” fool you. Size up as you would with any race cut kit. For reference, I wear a large or XL in most kits and the XL in this kit is super tight on me.

Kirschner is a Brazilian cycling apparel company that required the creative workings of the UK creative consultancy, Six. Since they were a new company, everything was required. From hang tags to branding and their first jersey. The outcome is above and you can see the rest here, at September Industry. I like this one a lot. September Industry, a UK graphic design magazine has the feature up on their blog.

I’m digging the look of these new Tokyo Fixed Gear jerseys. They’ll be available in a few days. Check out more photos here.

The theme this week is unobtainable products. Don’t miss out on yet another run of the Mash kits. Swoop them here while you still can!

Without my Rapha Lightweight Jersey, last summer in Austin would have been hellish for me. When it’s over 100 degrees for over three months with 0 rain, you do all you can to stay cool. Last year, the Lightweight jersey was my best friend and this summer, the Super-Lightweight Jersey looks to be a worthy advisary.

Today is the final day to pre-order your Golden Saddle Cyclery kit, made by Endo Customs in LA. Do so here, I just did! Gotta love the Whirling Log.

Kelli’s modeling the Golden Saddle Cyclery kits, which are probably the best shop kit ever. These are now available for pre-order, so do so now at Tracko!

Details:

“So starting today until May 7th(Kits should be delivered 4 weeks later.) we will be doing a pre-order for the Golden Saddle Cyclery kit made by Endo Customs here in Los Angeles, CA. The jersey can be purchased in white or black(you can even buy both like I did). A unisex bib and women’s short will be offered, along with arm warmers. Key features of each piece are listed on the items page. Feel free to email kyle@goldensaddlecyclery.com with any questions. Both the women’s and men’s jerseys are race cut. I’m not saying size up, that’s just the cut. You’ll have to decide how aero you wanna be. These things aren’t cheap by any means but compared to a lot of other brands out there I’d say say we’re offering up a pretty competitive price for premium goods manufactured here in the U.S. of A. And I’m damn sure you’ll be the best looking one on the ride, making you more confident and a better cyclist.”

I hear Kelli sold her track bike to buy a BMX and a road bike? WTF?!?!?

Oh and they’ve got more of the Intelli GSC caps in stock now!
