Next week, Mash and Rapha are throwing two events worth hitting up if you’re in SF. The first is the Cutty Cross Cat (flier below) and the second event is All Chips on the Table: The Bicycle Art & Design of Garrett Chow, which will be at the Rapha Cycle Club, post race. I wish I could be in attendance. This looks like a rad time.
See the Cutty Cross Cat flier below.
Blue Lug just loves Archive Bags and I’m sure Victor loves seeing his products over in Japan. If you’re looking for a new bag and you’re in Japan, check these out!
All of my long sleeve dress shirts are Taylor Stitch and we all know that Mission Workshop makes superior bags. So when these two get together, you know it’ll be good. Here’s the low down on the Dearborn Overshirt:
“The Dearborn Overshirt was the result of a summer project between Mission Workshop and Taylor Stitch. Taylor Stitch is an independent shirt maker, creating new styles of small batch shirts. The Dearborn shirt is the first effort of combining the best aspects of both companies.
Taylor Stitch constructed the garment in San Francisco using traditional and time-proven techniques building a shirt that will hold up under daily abuse with a fit made to cover base layers without being overly bulky.
From Mission Workshop, the Dearborn inherited technical aspects such as 3X Dry® which repels water and stains and aides in wicking off moisture from the skin. It is built from Scoeller’s Turkish cotton with added stretch. The S-spring snaps and underarm eyelets are imported from Germany. And as small detail, the chest pocket is ported for your media.”
Pick one up here. So stoked on this!
Chrome introduces their new outerwear model, the Storm Cobra by following none other than Steve around SF.
Mike Giant is an artist that a lot of cyclists admire. His work has been shown around the world and his love of track bikes and the imagery associated with them pops up in his illustrations frequently. Check out this recent interview with the SF-based artist.
Macaframa has been working on this commercial for LOW Bicycles in SF for some time now. Watch as Massan shreds his LOW on the streets of San Francisco.

When Full Frame Collective posts up a photo like this, it’s hard for me to resist the repost. I miss hanging in SF with those guys!
Macaframa‘s digging through their archives and just posted their 2011 Bicycle Film Festival video with some new bits added.

Freight Baggage has been working on a new website since I can remember. The brand itself needs no introduction but some of their products might, like the Bike Bag, which has been around for a while, but never officially available online for purchase. These bags have been tested by people all over the world and have proven their durability. Check out more at Freight’s online shop.
Since their first models dropped two years ago, Chrome has been working on improving them. Introducing the Truk, as modeled here by Massan.
Mike Martin is a very busy guy. When he’s not at the Mash SF storefront, he’s planning an event, working on his clothing line Martin or out shooting video. That doesn’t leave a lot of time for his other passion: photography. It’s not everyday that you see photos from Mike, so when he showcases inspirational photos like these, I had to reach out to him.
Garrett Chow’s work that comes out of his studio in the Specialized facilities is always far from ordinary and his new Custom Specialized Carbon Crux CX is a perfect example of his craftsmanship. Many thanks to Mike for the high res photos. Check them out below!

Hell yes. More of this. Props to the ladies of Fast Co SF and Volcano Club for putting this together.
Danny’s always pushing the envelope and this time he does so in San Francisco for Remington. Insanity.
Terry from FFC / Werehaus has been spending time down at the Island in SF, shooting video of FGFS, BMX and skateboarding.
To celebrate the rides in the Bay Area, Cedar Cycling offers up a series of t-shirts highlighting the main roads on the routes. Check out the Local Rides tees here.
Chas has been talking about doing this for some time now and honestly, I’d rather watch this than a track bike hill bomb. So good!

I met Hiro in SF during the Ride + Style weekend and have been meaning to make a post about him ever since. His street photography centers around what many would refer to as the “fixie famous” contingency but it’s not limited to bikes at all. Check out more of his work here and here.
At this point, I don’t think Kyle even posts his own photos on Tracko, because he’s got a ton of friends who are excellent photographers and are willing to submit content to him. Jesse Carmody, one half of NORU Prod, being one of them. Jesse’s shot some stellar photos of Montano Velo and Archive Bags while he’s been in SF. Check out both sets, they’re not to be missed.
