The Radavist

Every time I post a photo of these on Instagram, people always ask what they are, thinking they’re some expensive luxury cycling item. The truth is, the Specialized 74 gloves are some of the best gloves I’ve owned and they don’t even scratch the bank account. They’ve held up to daily use, haven’t stretched or loosened up at all and look damn classy.  Check out more below.

I met Matt and the rest of the Wheel Talk guys at Interbike two years ago, right before they announced they had been working with Specialized on their P-Fix 26″ fixed freestyle completes. In those two years, fixed freestyle has grown and grown and grown. Hats off to Matt for hustling hard and matching his riding with his positive attitude.

Where is Tom LaMarche? He’s still ripping FGFS in the Northeast for Specialized. Tony showed me some of this while he was in town. All of which was filmed in about two days. Damn. That statue garden drop is serious. Glad to see my boy’s still got it.

A little color goes a long way, or a lot of color can make an otherwise drab-looking bike pop. Case in point is Matt’s P-Fix. A few cans of spraypaint and voilà. See more at Wheel Talk Fixed.

Speaking of Mash, this new ad for Specialized‘s e-bike came out great. Check out Daniel ripping around town on the Turbo:

“In designing the Turbo we created an entirely new category of eBike: a speed-focused, high-tech urban bike that looks and performs like a fast bike should… and it just happens to have a motor!

With a top speed of 45kph, the Turbo is unquestionably fast. It’s even fast standing still: the battery recharges in just 2 hours. Every aspect of the design exudes speed, efficiency and style: clean, sweeping frame lines, a hidden battery, internal cable routing and fast, grippy tires.

On the road, or standing still, it’s all about speed. It’s you, only faster.”

Funny, he’s the last person that would need electric-assist.
