The Radavist

Matt Lingo and Leader worked together on a new lookbook for their 2014 lineup. The book includes tons of photos from the Wolfpack Hustle drag race as well as some more lifestyle-focused shots. Check it out above.

Here’s a nice little video recap from the Red Hook Crit Milano, brought to you by Pristine!

French bicycle boutique Road Art took an everyday Cinelli Vigorelli and gave it some extra juice. I always wondered why Cinelli didn’t bank off the Lazer aesthetic before. This bike looks incredible!

I’m heading back to Melbourne for a few weeks. Expect some Beautiful Bicycles, Shop Visits and plenty of general radness to come. I figured I’d leave you with this photo for #WheelieWednesdayz…

See ya on the other side!

Dark, gritty and moody. Marco’s photos from the Red Hook Crit Milano are some of my favorite from the series. See the full set here. Congratulations to Eduard Grosu for the win this round, Neil for the series title and MASH for the team title!

Kinoko Cycles just got in their newest Dart track bike stock. 44mm head tube, oversized tubing and sick paint designed by Will Rei. Look, this is one of the sickest steel track bikes on the market. Don’t fuck around, pick one up at Kinoko Cycles!

A group of friends rode their track bikes from Portland to San Francisco in 2012. Over 800 miles in 7 days. Having done that ride before, I can say that this is impressive. Check out more information at the Vimeo page!

I’m so pumped on this!

“Zak’s racing career began as a courier in Pittsburgh, competing in local courier races, twice winning the North American Cycle Courier “Track King” title. He segued into racing on the velodrome and worked his way through the ranks quickly.

2011 saw Zak winning the Alpenrose Velodrome Challenge points race, the biggest race of the year at his home track, defeating arch rival Jame Carney. At the Fixed Gear Classic in Blaine, MN, Zak and long time madison partner Dan Harm won the madison, competing against long time Six Day pro Franco Marvulli.

Zak still works occasionally as a courier, but his main focus is on moving up to the next level in his racing career. His dream until a year ago? Racing pro six days in Europe. Then in 2013 the all-but-forgotten art of steher racing had a little yankee flavour added during the 102nd Berlin Six Day when reining US omnium champion Zak Kovalcik competed in the high-speed niche event.

And we’ve been lucky enough to follow him during this amazing week in Berlin. ”

Met Helmets

Speaking of the Red Hook Crit, Wit Industries and Koga’s latest endeavor stirred up a bit of recognition when Fish won the Red Hook Crit Barcelona on it. Now, Wit has these frames in stock, in a Scandium and 7005 aluminum version. Head over to Wit Industries for more information and pick one up here.

Two hundred athletes from fifteen countries will attempt to qualify for eighty-five race spots on October 12 in Milano, Italy.

Ohhhh man. I can always post a photo of a Bishop Bikes seat cluster. It’s like Chris’ signature and he didn’t hold back on his latest work. See more of Brian’s track frame at the Bishop Flickr!

For 2014, Bombtrack has expanded their line from track and FGFS into more commuter-friendly single speeds. Check out the full catalog above.

Here’s a video recap from the Wolfpack Hustle 6th St Drag Race from State Bicycle Co.

FBM has been making their Sword track frames in the USA since day one and now, they’re just posted up a full size run in three colors on their site. See more details at FBM, order one through your local FBM shop or scoop one here.

Yikes! Tyler from Factory Five is one of the raddest dudes I’ve met over the past few years, so I can just imagine him smashing around Shanghai on this thing. As a drummer of a hardcore band, he’s no stranger to camo (shorts), so it just seemed like a natural move to paint his new Factory Five F550s track with the digital pattern. Check out more at the Factory Five Flickr and see the build specs below.

Here’s the latest issue of Stoked on Fixed Bikes, featuring some great CMWC coverage, Red Hook Crit Barcelona Eurobike and other radness.
