The Radavist

Dosnoventa delivers yet another Red Hook Crit video, this time showcasing the Milan criterium. I always love their edits. See you guys in Brooklyn!

8Bar bikes pulled a team of riders together for a 4 day, 400km, 4,000m ride. Check out the teaser above and the full ride report here.

File this one under complete radness. Tim from the North Race got David at Death Spray Custom to dress up his Low track bike with one of those bitchin’ forks. Check out more photos here.

These oversized tubed, fillet brazed, steel track machines have caught my eye. Antti Konga builds these bikes in Finland, which explains the name, Rata, which means “track” in Finnish. Antti doesn’t have a website yet, so check out more photos of the KONGA Rata track bike here. Really loving that set!

If you’re looking for some holiday gift ideas for your cycling buddies this year (people do that kind of stuff, right?), don’t miss out on the 2013 Cycle EXIF bicycle calendar. Filled with great photos from all over the world of just about every type of bike, there’s something for everyone. See more at Cycle EXIF and pick one up here.

The Brooklyn Machine Works Gangsta track was one of the first cross over track bikes that really could adapted for just about any terrain. I remember a few messengers in NYC racing cross on these bikes at Staten Island a few years back. One of those messengers was Austin Horse. Well, he’s still on it. In fact, he raced the Westside Invite in LA a few weeks back before heading over to Japan to race cross and another Red Bull event.

Before Austin embarked for Japan, Kyle at Tracko took some nice photos of this unique machine. Check out more photos here.

Back in 2005 when Cadence started Fast Friday, I doubt Dustin anticipated riders in Athens would be doing the same thing in 2012. Check out this new video by Boat Magazine.

I like seeing sprint finishes at the Red Hook Crit, even if sometimes you’ve gotta go to Milano to see one. Because there were no sprints for the gold at Red Hook Crit Brooklyn last year!

Here’s yet another recap video from the 2012 Red Hook Crit Milano event, presented by Barceloneta Bikes.

Damn Alan, it’s been a while! Glad to see you were spending your time on something rad. Check out more photos of Cycling WMD’s Glossy Black Track here!

When your precious track bike gets hit by a car, most would just hang her up on the wall and blow her kisses at night. Not Donal. He sent his wrecked Yamaguchi to Ian Sutton of Icarus Frames for a little repair job. The completed work is really rad, as captured here in this studio portrait. Looking good holmes!

I’m a sucker for a sleek, black track bike, especially one that’s been photographed as well as this new Stanridge High Street Pursuit. This one needs those black Phil Wood cranks though!

Here’s another recap from the Red Hook Crit Milan!

I love shooting 3200 Delta during the day. The grain just adds to the subject. But what I don’t like is when I forget to take the exposed rolls out of my bag before going through the airport’s xray. Whoops. Unfortunately, this was the only photo that survived and it’s a shame because this is a Beautiful Bicycle. Wilis’ Nagasawa built up quite nicely.

Man. This is so, so sick. Rudy from the 5th Floor has a custom Death Spray Custom fork on his track bike and I’m digging it a lot. See more at the Death Spray Custom blog.

Super chill vibes in the land of the endless summer. Check it out as Steadfast tours around SF with Matt from Wheel Talk.

Here’s that full-length web video from Dosnoventa‘s time in NYC. Don’t forget to check out a few previous photosets below if you haven’t already!

Wiping your bike down after every ride and refusing to lock it up may keep it in pristine condition but will it have character? Or a soul? Prolly not. Well used components and frames seem to sprout a personality with the patina from daily use and Damian Riehl has captured that with a few photos. This one in particular is my favorite, a 150mm shot (with an extension tube) from his Hasselblad of a Zipp hub.
