The best way to end a scorcher is with a cold beverage and your friends. I don’t really need to say much else…

Reportage
Stanridge Speed
Over the past year or so, I’ve become pretty good friends with Adam Eldridge of Stanridge Speed, so it was nice to stop in and see his shop while I was in Columbus visiting Lauren’s family. To call his facilities small and intimate is an understatement. His shop is tucked away inside a community work space. A giant, 8,000sqft warehouse nestled inside a recently renovated park. He has no heat and his walls are made from corrugated metal.
Through the flickering florescent lighting, he mitres, brazes, finishes and paints his bicycle frames before sending them out all over the world. While his Highstreet may be the most popular frame, his passion is falling into cross bikes and road bikes. He likes frames that require problem solving… I documented his facilities the best I could with my 5D and my Hasselblad, which proved to be no easy task. But I feel it really captures the spirit of Stanridge Speed.

We all need a little face watching over our bikes when they’re locked up in the wild. Nice shot Damain.

Samson K Hatae’s Tour of California Hasselblad Photos

For many people, shooting professional cycling with film is unheard of, much less a Hasselblad. While many magazines and news sites only care about those finish line and podium shots, a few photographers are out there, looking a little deeper. Samson’s coverage of the Amgen Tour of California came out great. I love this shot so much, right down to the excited fan, just barely an inch off the ground. Check the rest out here.

Brenton recently spent some time at the Alpenrose Velodrome with Team Sizzle Pie, a Portland-based racing squad. He shot a bunch of great medium format photos. You should really check the rest out at his Flickr.

Matt, Jerome and Chas are the Cannondale crew from Portland. I partied so hard with these guys last week and I completely blanked on taking their portrait. Luckily, Damian got one outside of PushBike.
