We have been working on getting some locally custom made frames ready for the launch of our new shop. There will be a total of 6 track frames and forks in a couple of sizes. The frames were just finished by Mr Igleheart himself up on the North Shore last week and are on their way to get some fresh paint. Not revealing the colors yet, but its gonna be fresh. Keep an eye out for more details!
Bianchi seems to be doing a ton of collabs lately and here is another one with clothing company Acne. From what I can see they just look like repainted pistas, with different grips or bartape, and saddle. But if you are into yellow or salmon color bikes this one is for you. What is up with that brake lever????
After the post about belts made from bike parts the other day it got me thinking about other ways to work your love of bikes into your wardrobe. I decided to do a little searching for bike inspired jewelry and here’s what I found: There seem to be two basic categories for bike jewelry, either it has a little bike or picture of a bike on it, or it’s actually made from bike parts. Here are my two favorites from each category.
This one, from the first category, is perfect for those who appreciate a little something girly and want to show off how much they love bikes.
I think this is probably one of the coolest necklaces I found, when I first saw it I definitely thought “awesome” and “bad-ass” before it dawned on me this was a recycled tube!
check out more sweet selections after the jump!
The long awaited Velocity B 43′s are just starting to arrive in the states. We have had these on backorder for sometime, so we should be getting our hands on them as soon as they start shipping them out. If you would like to pre-order a set, please let us know. We can also build these up to almost any hubs you can imagine. Not 100% sure of price yet, but I think they will just be a bit more than the deep v.
