The Radavist

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.

I wasn’t blogging Kyle, I was looking at porn…

“Stage 8 of The Amgen Tour of California a rolled right past Golden Saddle Cyclery, so Rapha & Tracko decided to throw a champagne brunch for its customers and visitors from out of town. This video showcases the good times and camaraderie of GSC’s cycling community. Enjoy

It was a good day indeed!

Is it even worth posting this up? Because they’ll sell out in 5…4…3…2…

Kelli’s modeling the Golden Saddle Cyclery kits, which are probably the best shop kit ever. These are now available for pre-order, so do so now at Tracko!

Details:

“So starting today until May 7th(Kits should be delivered 4 weeks later.) we will be doing a pre-order for the Golden Saddle Cyclery kit made by Endo Customs here in Los Angeles, CA. The jersey can be purchased in white or black(you can even buy both like I did). A unisex bib and women’s short will be offered, along with arm warmers. Key features of each piece are listed on the items page. Feel free to email kyle@goldensaddlecyclery.com with any questions. Both the women’s and men’s jerseys are race cut. I’m not saying size up, that’s just the cut. You’ll have to decide how aero you wanna be. These things aren’t cheap by any means but compared to a lot of other brands out there I’d say say we’re offering up a pretty competitive price for premium goods manufactured here in the U.S. of A. And I’m damn sure you’ll be the best looking one on the ride, making you more confident and a better cyclist.”

I hear Kelli sold her track bike to buy a BMX and a road bike? WTF?!?!?

Oh and they’ve got more of the Intelli GSC caps in stock now!

Tracko paid me thousands of dollars to shoot photos of the Tanner Goods “bike line” at the Ira Ryan booth during the 2012 NAHBS. When he texted me my contract to submit photos, I didn’t think it was that Tanner. I’ve got a belt and a wallet from them, both are top-notch. We’ve already seen the Ned Ludd cargo bike, sporting a few of these products, but Tracko’s got the EXCLUSIVE on the rest of the line. Head over to check the rest out.

I just wanted to add that I think cycling-related overlap with solid companies is a good thing, especially from Portland. If these bike accessories are anything like their wallets, they’ll be a worthy investment. Stay tuned.

Even though sometimes Kyle is a little shit on the internet, deep down he’s a good guy. Which is funny because he’s such a short lil fella but somehow he buries the niceness deep, deep down. Deep like the track drops pictured here…

Anyway, Jeff from All-City unveiled his new track bike at #GSC a few weeks ago. Accompanying the frame are the STTBars. Lookin’ good Jeff. See more at Tracko.

A few weeks back, I received this email out of the blue. Having sold all of my Eddy Merckx bikes, it made me a little sad. I wish I could keep every bike that I’ve owned but it’s not financially possible for me. Knowing that this frame went to a good home, I’m left with all the rides I did on it and the photos I took. Both of which are good enough for me. Putting in miles on an Eddy Merckx influenced how I wanted my Bishop to ride. I admire the Belgian geometry and even the chevrons and colors of the Eddy Merckx frames.

This bike and my Eddy Merckx pista in a lot of ways, made this blog into what it is today. They’re icons…
