We just finished a nice Volume Trasher Trick Build for our across the street neighbor Andrew. He is pretty stoked on it and he has been joining us on our trick rides as much as he can. Good to see the freestyle scene gaining some momentum!
Cinelli is releasing an affordable road bike to their stable for 2011. The Gazzetta della Strada is based off the popular Gazzetta from 2010 but this one is built as a geared road bike instead of single speed or fixed. It is aimed directly at the urban rider who commutes or goes out on longer distance road rides but doesn’t need race level parts or carbon fiber. The frame is made out of double butted Columbus tubes and can be bought frame only for custom builds or bought as a complete with Cinelli and Shimano components. No word on pricing yet, but it sounds like there will be 3 color options. We’ll keep you updated as we get more info and maybe start a pre-order in the near future.
We just finished a fresh Bianchi Super Pista Custom Build for Ryan. This one wants to go fast!
We just picked up a really awesome line of Bike goods from Brisbane Australia. There stuff is all handmade and uses lots of salvaged materials.
Text from Brisbane Outdoor Gear
“Strap Ons are a highly adjustable and hard wearing strap system for everything from fixed gear freestyle riding to everyday use. Designed from the ground up as an alternative to double straps and cages, the Strap Ons achieve maximum usability without compromising the feel of the ride.”
“Despite its slim size, the Love Handle expands to contain almost all the essentials. Wallet, phone, keys, basic tool kit, a spair tube, and a pen. You also can cram in your d-lock on the back into its own sleeve, regardless of size.”
“Our pouches & tool rolls were created with the aim of using as much reclaimed material as physically possible. All material is reclaimed apart from the critical hook and loop, binding tape, stitching, and brand tags. Despite being reclaimed and technically “old” material, the end result is still extremely robust and functional to a high degree.”
“We like to have fun with what we do, which is why we take our beer drinking seriously. Not having a stubbie cooler at all times was a pain in the arse. Not having a top tube protector was a pain in the nuts. So obviously the logical thing to do was combine the two…
And here it is, the Beernutt. Designed to protect your bike (and nuts if you are clutz like us) during the day, and then keep your beer cool in the evening. It is adjustable to fit a variety of bike tubes, while holds anything from a standard stubbie to a 40 ounce and everything in between.”
If you missed the last shipment of Hold Fasts… We just got a replenishment! You guys know the drill. Hurry down for a pair since there are only one of each color! (Red, blue, orange, green, fluo yellow, red, hot pink, purple, & violet)
