This has got to be the sickest modern production track bike I’ve ever seen. A mix of fillet brazed Columbus MAX and Zona really hammers home the meaning behind “ono”, or a tool for cutting through your obstacles in Japanese. See more photos of the Tokyo Fixed Ono here and pick one up here. This will probably be your only chance to own a Death Spray Custom designed paint job!
The first aluminum bike in the All City catalog is their new Thunderdome track frame. These race-ready machines are pre-booking now at your LBS for $650 frame and carbon fork. Get on it! Check out more specs here at All City.
Track racing videos are always a thrill to watch:
“Just a few fun shots from the 2012 Track National Championships in Carson, CA. Includes Friday night racing of Team Pursuit, Women Kierin, Men Sprint, and PARA Men and Women Individual Pursuit.
Posted near Halloween, so obvious use of Misfits song.”
Check out details on how you can win a Fyxation Eastside Track bike here.
Affinity Cycles is giving away a Kissena track frameset over on their blog. Head over to check out the details! That’s a $750 value and a frame that has world championships pouring out of its bb shell.
I never had an NJS track bike and never really got worked up about the NJS stamp but after seeing bikes like Jonathon’s Nagasawa on the Tokyo Fixed blog, I wonder why the hell I didn’t!
Adam from Stanridge Speed shared this video earlier today. It’s only a teaser but watch as Giorgio explains why he chose Stanridge to build him a track bike.

Last month, in Puerto Rico, the PR Fixed community threw a giant event called Fijate. Riders from both coasts came out to compete, party and soak in the endless summer sun of the Carribean. Photographer Aarón Borrás was there, capturing both the alleycat and the criterium. Check out both posts on PR Fixed.
Everyone’s been wondering, “where’s TRACKO?”. Kyle had been saying that he was going to leave the old Tracko at 666 pages, so when it hit the number, he stopped posting. For the past few weeks, in between a little tour, bike shop duties, racing and karaoke at Smoggy, he’s been redesigning his site and working on his first new post for the new Tracko. You should make it over and check it out! I love reading content like that and I remember the early days of Tracko v1.0!
Also, Kyle’s made my life easier now by making his blog body the same width as mine, so I don’t have to resize his photos anymore!
It’s good to have you back dude.
Here’s the first Red Hook Crit Milano video I’ve found on Vimeo or Youtube that’s worth posting. It catches some spills at that turn everyone was complaining about as well as the final moments in the race, leading up to the finish sprint, which I still haven’t seen any video of. Who’s got it?
This is awesome and yes, a little late but a viewer emailed it over and I hadn’t seen it before. I wanna see Hoy on the trials bike and you’d think they would have changed out the 48:16 gearing on Danny’s bike. Still, two of biggest names in Scottish cycling coming together like this is rad.
So Ian at Icarus has been working on this monster track machine for a little while. The idea is that bigger track racers, like 200+ lb sprinters, need a stiff bike and weight isn’t really a big of an issue. So he’s gone oversize everywhere he can. He’s still working on the frame, in his down time but this thing would rip the boards off a velodrome underneath the right racer…

I don’t have children and yet I understand why parents always have a camera in their kids’ face. It’s love, right?
If you’re heading to the Red Hook Crit in Milano, make sure you pick up some of the high vis merchandise. The rest of us will have to wait for the online shop to get stock.
When I see an American-made bicycle Locked Up in front of this mural outside the Liberty, I have to take a photo of it. Especially when it’s a blazing hot bike like Josh’s LOW.
