Chris’ photos are always great and his 35mm shots from the Red Hook Crit Navy Yard race are nothing short of exceptional. Head on over to his Flickr for more! That portrait of Dan is awesome man.

Nice one from TCB Courier in support of their new kit pre-order!
“When we’re not busy on the streets, you can find the riders of TCB keeping it real and always looking it fresh in SF. Support us in raising money for a new cargo bike by picking up a TCB kit, so we can bring more food to you faster! The kit, produced by Endo Customs, is available now in our web store at tcbcourier.bigcartel.com. Pre-order ends June 30th!”
I don’t know about you, but I love looking at photos from the Red Hook Crit races from what I would consider photographers who are “new” to documenting cycling. Some of the best editorial pieces in cycling’s history were written by fresh eyes. Ever read Buzzati’s coverage of the 1949 Tour of Italy?
Two years ago at the Red Hook Crit in Brooklyn, I met Kathryn Friedman, a photographer who happened to ride bikes in NYC and after this year’s Navy Yard crit, she emailed me some photos. I figured I’d let the dust settle a bit from one of the most bloody Red Hook Crit events ever, prior to posting…
Check out a Guest Gallery from Kathryn Friedman below!
Hell yes. I love the new rider profiles that Mash is putting out. Don’t freak out (again), no cones were harmed in this video clip.

Matt Lingo was also in attendance at the Wolfpack Hustle CVCCTR crit in Los Angeles last weekend and he has a ton of coverage from the event up on Rec Fail. Head over to check it out!
Who knew that skateboarding legend John Cardiel was such a marksman with the bow and arrow? I guess you learn something new everyday.
Here’s the first edit video recap I’ve seen of the Wolfpack Hustle CVCCTR crit and it probably won’t be the last…
It’s been real fun. There will be much more coverage on the way, but I’d like to say thanks to some of the people who made this trip such a unique experience:
–Mission Workshop (you guys rule!)
–Bike Mag
–Bontrager
-Geoff at Box Dog Bikes
–MASH
-Victor from Archive Bags
-Chas and Lindsey from TCB Courier
–Benny Gold
-John from Rapha
-Kyle and Adria from Golden Saddle Cyclery
–Brian Vernor
–Ibis Cycles
-Garrett from Strawfoot
-Steve from Godspeed
–Tailor Stitch

Out of all the documentation I’ve seen from the Wolfpack Hustle CVCCTR criterium event last Sunday, Samson’s are by far the most diverse and the best representation of the event. I feel like I was there and obviously, I wasn’t.
Check out all of Samson’s photos at his photography blog.
There’s a new offering from Breakbrake 17, the Karma Track:
“The BB17 Karma track frame geometry was inspired from the modern track racing bike, Features like short wheelbase, responsive but also stable and comfortable. The frame is an ideal bike for urban track riders. 7005-T6 Triple Butted tubes makes the frame lighter and stiff to give you control to transferring all your power to the road. ROUND-AERO down tube sharp and unique tapered seat stays to dissipate road shock for a smooth ride.
Colors available in : Matt Gray/Blue, Matt Black/Purple, Brushed Satin Finish with Clearcoat/Yellow”
See more below!
I have to say, this is the best looking Histogram to date. Before there were dozens of modern, aluminum low pros, there was the Cinelli Mash Histogram. These frames have found their way to the far reaches of the globe and for 2014, Mash did something a little new:
“With the 2014 trade shows approaching, there will be more information available on collaborations we have in store with Cinelli. The first announcement is the revised finish of our Histogram set. This polished frame shares the original lines, updated in grayscale tones. We will open a pre-order 30 days before these land in the US later this fall. Stay tuned!”
I’m sure I’ll be seeing and shooting one of these soon enough…
I wish I could be there! Race smart and safe everyone. See more information at Wolfpack.
No cone-kickage, outlaw behavior in the latest from MASH. Nice video guys!
Josh Hartman was injured during the Red Hook Crit Navy Yard crit race and Dave Trimble is putting on a benefit auction on eBay to help aid in Josh’s medical bills. Head on over the eBay auction to place a bid!
And if you don’t need another bike, you can always contribute to Josh’s Go Fund Me page.

The track bike criterium is a rapidly-growing event worldwide and over in Berlin, there’s a new fixed gear crit training series called Crucial Crit. Photographer Constantin Gerlach was on site for the first day of racing, documenting it all. See more here!
A red 1977 lugged Serotta track frame to be exact. Ride a 57cm? Head over to Bike Jerks for the scoop. It won’t last long at $650!
Here’s the second installment of Dustin from Cadence’s series with Pez.
“Cadence is proud to announce the exclusive release of special collaborative project with PEZ.
PEZ is a prominent street artist and deeply rooted figure in San Francisco cycling and messenger culture.
Honored by the opportunity to work with PEZ we wanted to share his story with those who may have yet to hear about him.
For the next three weeks we will release an episode on PEZ which we hope sheds some light on his influence and involvement in cycling and graffiti cultures.”
Two years ago, Chas and Walton from MASH sat down with the designers at Cinelli in Italy to work on the next track frame. After years of riding track bikes both on the street and in races, the two of these athletes knew exactly what they wanted. The end product was something unlike any track bike Cinelli has made before: a mixture of new technology with performance and practicality in mind.
Last year at Interbike, Cinelli handed over two of the prototypes, which were spraypainted with Montana outside Mash’s flagship store in SF (in fact, you can still see blue and green overspray all over the sidewalk). Chas’ green track bike has traveled the world and seen its share of the fast n loose riding lifestyle. It’s been in multiple Red Hook Crits and bombed the streets of SF and NYC alike.
The most noticeable difference in this frame, versus the older MASH frames include a tapered fork and head tube for added stiffness and proprietary hydroformed Columbus tubing. A level top tube and traditional track geometry add a confident stance to this bike’s profile. In short: the Mash team is very happy with their work and with new paint samples on the way, I had to shoot photos of this bike while it was still built up….
Many thanks to Chas and Lindsey for recommending the sunset bike shoot location and Bucket for showing his appreciation.
