Packing a bike shouldn’t be that hard to do and yet, I’ve seen some horrid examples. Boxes made from three, with the edges exposed and the cardboard literally falling apart. Like everything FYXO, Andy did a little tutorial on his site not necessarily showing how to pack a bike, but how he packs a bike. Check it out here.
Man. I don’t think it gets any better than that. Clean brazing, impeccable filing and shorelines, topped off with a killer Bishop binder bolt. John’s getting one sick track bike. Check out even more at the Bishop Flickr.
The Kinfolk Flickr was just graced with Kelly’s gloss black track bike. Check out some more silky smooth radness here.

Having just let go of my beauty last year (my Stuttgart Pista, not a girl), I know how hard it is to say goodbye. Andy’s had to make that decision recently, forcing him to sell his beautiful MX-Leader track bike. Like my Stuttgart, his MXL represented his brand and his shop, FYXO Hub. But that doesn’t mean when you sell it, you can’t take it out for one last photo shoot. And like a good friend, he sent these my way!

We already saw this frame in the Loop Magazine spread but Andrew just posted up some detailed shots of the super limited LOOP x LOW track frame. See more here.
Mmmmmm. Yeah, I’ll go see it. Mostly to see Austin and Tom riding on the big screen.
This in from Duraath:
“The premiere is happening on the 2nd June 2012 at Doppel Cafe, Central Market, Kuala Lumpur.”

The Campagnolo 15mm spanner, or aptly named “the peanut butter wrench” is one of the most elegant cycling tools ever produced. Let’s see your wrench in action. All you’ve gotta do is upload your photo to the comments, using Disqus’ image uploader, or use Instagram and the hashtag #myPBwrench.
The winner gets a package stuffed with goods sent out next week.
A few weeks ago, eBay yanked the auction for this Kinfolk Cobalt complete track bike. Well, it’s back, so if you’ve been looking for a noble steed, check the auction out here.
I know what you’re thinking but this is not my old track bike. It’s actually a few years older than my bike was. This one’s a bit smaller too and it’s ending today on eBay…
Chris Bishop‘s work on John’s classic track bike is really wild. Just check out that brake bridge! See more at the Bishop Flickr.
This just in from Affinity:
“Affinity is proud to officially release our Summer 2012 frame re-stock. Get on the latest batch of Lo Pro and Metro frame sets and complete builds while they last. Matte black, champagne money and chrome plated Lo Pro’s are looking sick, and our new Metro shouts NYC with liquid sparkle blue and orange decals. The frames are going fast and once they go, they are gone. Get at em, first come first serve.”
It’s funny how that top photo makes me miss NYC so much. Looking great Jason! Check out more photos at Affinity’s blog.
iMinusD has posted up the entire Breakbrake 17 2012 offerings for pre-order. This includes their Transfer, triple triangle track, Charmer 26″ FGFS V2 and the Serpent 29’r FGFS. I love the way the Serpent looks and there needs to be more 29’r FGFS frames on the market, in my opinion of course. These are expected on June 20th. Check out the details at iMinusD.
When I met up with Josh to shoot photos of his LOW track bike, he had one last run to make on his shift. When he pulled up the USPS box on his pursuit bars, I had to get a few shots of him. Great bike and a great dude.
After the 2011 NACCCs, Josh relocated to Austin from SF, where he worked at TCB Courier. Once settling in here in town, he took Andrew Low up on his offer for a track frame. Andrew went to town on this one with the finishing. This was the first frame that Andrew etched the owner’s name into the top tube. Other finishing notes include the TCB Courier logo etched in and Andrew’s signature on the non-drive chainstay.
Josh wanted this bike to ride fast and secure, so he went with some SRAM Omniums and a bullhorn on his cockpit. What better way to top off the build than with a Pentabike Muststash?

Fixed Fest‘s official website has launched, including the registration page. Get your ass over there right now! I can’t wait to be riding the streets of Jakarta finally.

I recognize this frame. It’s been hanging in Shifter Bikes since Dan opened his shop on Chapel street and now, it’s built up with what appears to be a full NJS kit. All that aside, Andy White knows how to take photos of bicycles. Check out more at the Fyxo Flickr. I’m sure this will make it to the Fyxo Blog in the next few days…
DK Shop put together an intro for his NYC Got Soul video series. I spy Chris Lee!
