The Radavist

At this point, I’ve lost count of how many LOW‘s I’ve photographed. But at least this one is on entirely different turf. Josh’s LOW is the first one in Texas. Fancy that! More to come…

There are two blogs that I’ll plug regardless of frequency and that’s Tracko and Fyxo. This week, it’s Tracko getting all the love. What can I say? GSC gets a lotta nice bikes rolling through. See more of this Yamaguchi track at Kyle’s Flickr.

Colossi‘s been rolling out a few nice gems over the last week. Check out the Manero, a spin on British lugwork here and Sander’s ultralight XLR8R track bike here.

State Bicycle Co made a video for their newest addition to their lineup, the Contender.

Andrew showed me these photos when I was visiting him in SF and LOOP Magazine now has this collaboration up for lottery sale. Not that you guys want to drop that kind of coin on a collaboration but it’s still a nice looking frame. While we’re on the subject of Loop, Dan Chabs made the cover!

… while I sort through a week’s worth of emails, Tweets, Facebook messages and other content. I love being on the road but playing catch up is no fun! We’ll start off with a RideNStyle video from Zlog. Check out more below.

Breakbrake 17’s triple triangle, Columbus tubing, low pro is now available. Dubbed the transfer, these frames are in stock and ready to ship. Hit up your local Breakbrake 17 dealer, or iMinusD. For more photos, head to BB17’s blog.

Adam from Stanridge Speed has been working with an industrial designer on a new integrated stem head tube. These CNC’d front ends will be a throwback to low pros and pursuits of the 70’s and 80’s but made with modern materials. Throw on some Cinelli LA84’s and you’ve got a mean looking bike. This is only an illustration, but you get the idea. More to come! Thanks to Will Rei Design for the illustration.

This was one of my favorite bikes I got to photograph last year when I was in Portland. I can’t say no to a purple track bike and Mr. Salo returns with more reflections…

Coffins, track bikes and Chas talking about bib sharts. ‘Nuff said. Thanks to 48×17 for the video from Tokyo Fixed Gear’s The Hunt.

I was just ranting on Twitter (hey, it’s what I do best) about how it’s impossible for me to keep on top of emails as of late when I got a follow-up from Carlos Guerra. He emailed me just after I posted up photos of the Red Hook Crit Cinelli Vigorelli, saying it inspired him to model a bike based on Dan’s winning prize. And I blanked on posting it. Dowh! Good thing I can still put it up. Without further adieu, here it is!

Check out a few more below!

“I like the nice sharp points.” Well said Chris. John’s getting this track bike is in for a treat. See more at the Bishop Flickr.

You’ve gotta head over to Full Frame Collective to check out this photo set. So good! 700c, 26″ and 20″ all in harmony.

Yow!!!! I haven’t really seen anything from Eroica Cicli lately but this Sarroni Red Colnago Super Pista makes up for it. Damn. Check out more of this Beautiful Bicycle here at Eroica Cicli.

The Toronto-based obstacle course alleycat, Helltrack is returning for its 5th year. More information to come.

Remember the story about how Crihs stole my Icarus track bike after a killer party at the Messenger Mansion (more on that tomorrow) and sent me an Instagram ransom? If you don’t brush up on it here. So imagine my surprise when I just got a bunch of film back from SF and found this on one of the rolls. Amazing. Crihs, you really out did yourself here buddy.

Brenton Salo is the king of photographing bicycle reflections. It’s gotta be a contextual thing since the Pacific Northwest is always wet. This Cannondale portrait is pretty rad and I’m guessing it’s Patrick’s from PC? Check out more at Brenton’s blog.
