Velo Orange’s Yakimono Bike Project

Shane Sellers is an artist, educator, Philly Bike Expo ambassador and Velo Orange collaborator. Their recent project converted a Neutrino into a “Yakimono Bike,” where they open air-fired grips and a saddle using traditional Japanese methods. The mini velo was then outfitted with a display case, where Shane displayed traditional Yakimono pottery.

Camp Snap Camera V2

The Camp Snap Camera is a stripped back, minimal digital camera inspired by the disposable cameras of the 1980s and 1990s. Its plastic lens gives the photos a unique quality, unique in today’s razor-sharp glass found on mirrorless systems, while offering a true-to-form photographic experience. Simply point and shoot. The Camp Snap V2 was just announced, so let’s take a closer look….

Velo Orange Gibbous Side-Loading Nalgene Cage

Carrying a Nalgene on your compact bike frame just got easier with Velo Orange’s side-loading Gibbous cage ($39). Side-loading cages offer side-specific access to your bottle, either the drive side (right) or the non-drive side (left), depending on your preference. Unlike normal bottle cages that require you to lift bottles out or put them in along the down tube or seat tube, side loaders allow you to pull them out from the side.

The Gibbous is made from durable stainless steel, weighs 139 grams, and is in stock now at Velo Orange.

Velo Orange HQ Visit: “Homage to an Ideal”

Following his visit with Crust Bikes, Nic Morales‘s road trip across the southeast continues with a trip to Velo Orange in Baltimore, MD. Given his longstanding appreciation of the brand’s ethos and product offerings, it felt only right to finally put a face to the names and influences that had influenced so much of his cycling life.

Through an extensive tour of their headquarters and an interview with co-founder Igor Shteynbuk, Nic learned of the logistics and mindset taken up by those behind the “VO” adorning many of our builds… Check it out below!

I Don’t Want Anything That’s Fast: The Bikes of Spencer Connell

Spencer and I have been riding bikes together for 15 years. Since then, Spencer developed a career building and repairing guitars in Nashville, Tennessee. Back when we were younger, we spent a lot of time hanging around our local bike shop,  Halcyon, and working on our bikes on their community stands. His bikes are deeply practical, very unique, and kind of clapped out. I’m not here to tell anyone what to do, but I wish more people built and rode bikes like Spencer. Recently I went to Nashville, and I took some time to document his bikes and ask him a few questions about his builds. Below, let’s check out what he had to say…
