NS Bikes ANALOG Trick Frame & Fork
Nov/30/2009 Archived in: Nov 2009
Spotted @ Fixed Gear Extravanganza.
The Analog is a complete bike based on the Analog aftermarket frame and fork. It's a pure fixed gear freestyle bike, it is not a traditional track bike! It's strong enough to trick, but still very light. The bike is built around a frame with the same geometry as the aftermarket Analog frame and uses the same tubes as their dirt jumping frames. The fork is also made by NS and it's geometry and overall function correspond with the aftermarket Analog fork. A radical no-compromise trick-track bike that can also function as a great bike for high-speed everyday commuting. They made sure that this new bikes gets the same attention to detail and the same focused design as all our other products.
The Analog is their all-new premium level trick frame. It has many of the features that they used to make the lightest dirt jumping frames on the market: the Majesty and Suburban. You will get an ovally machined headtube for weigh saving, their really special high-end tubeset with offset multi butting (this means that the tubes are round from the outside, but inside you will find a lot of complex thickness changes). The tubing is 100% cromoly made by Tange Japan, and what's most important, trick specific geometry. This means you can run 38x700 tires, you can barspin and still have a crisp geometry. Like all their frames, the analog has a super clean minimalistic design. This Analog is designed to be used with a short reach stem (40-60mm) and will handle just about any abuse that you can dish out. You can build the Analog frame into a radical trick-track bike that can also function as a great bike for high-speed everyday commuting.
Their RNS and Fundamental forks are a common sight in loads of trick-track bikes, so they decided to take these products one step further and make a fork specifically designed for fixed gear trick bikes. You will get a lower axle to crown height than on MTB forks to keep your steering sharp, but at the same time you will still be able to barspin with this fork on the Analog frame. Even though the fork is built to withstand serious abuse, the weight remains nice- they used all our knowledge from the dirt jumping fork line when building the Analog. You get triple butted legs, multi-butted CNC steer tube, a threaded steer tube with alloy top cap and our full heat treatment process that takes place after welding.
Check it out @ NS Bikes.
Reward For Jake's Bike!
Nov/28/2009 Archived in: Nov 2009
On August 15th, my Pista Concept along with Jake Ricker's purple 3Rensho were stolen during the Rose City Fix event. Recently, I received an email from a person who had bought my Pista Concept and found out the bike was stolen. He found my stolen post and immediately contacted me. I recovered it yesterday… intact minus a front gold H Plus Son rim laced a Phil Wood low-flange hub. The person who bought my bike described the potential thief as a person who pushed a shopping cart around… collecting bottles. This was not a homeless person since it was purchased at a residence near 150th (or more) street in Portland. I hope to get more details on the exact location. Please keep your eyes open if you live in that area. There is a REWARD for the recovery of Jake's bike!

My Stolen Pista Concept Recovered???
Nov/26/2009 Archived in: Nov 2009
Yesterday I received this email:
“I would like to inform you that I may have unintentionally purchased the bike you are missing.... a week and a half ago I purchased private party a Bianchi Pista Concept for the price of $450.00 cash and today I went online and saw your posting. As I mentioned I did pay $450 for the bike and had no prior knowledge that the bike was stolen. Having said that I do not want to be out what I am into it for. You may get back to me via this e-mail address.”
Well, I’m happy to say that this is my bike... minus the missing front gold H Plus Son rim that was laced to a low-flange phil Wood hub. Hopefully, I will get a reply or call from this person who sent me this email.

Nov/24/2009 Archived in: Nov 2009
Leader is proud to announce the release of the version 1.5 729TRK frame. The newer frame is refined with a new head tube gusset design, much wider stays to fit a larger tire in the rear, redesigned dropouts that are 10mm longer, revised and improved chain tensioners that are much easier to adjust and works fantastic with the axel instead of the bolts. Also, a new paint finish which will be a flat black powdercoat is being introduced.

Burro Bags Hip Bag & Billboard Pedal Straps
Nov/19/2009 Archived in: Nov 2009
The kind folks @ Burro Bags sent me a nice Hip Bag and a set of their Billboard Pedal Straps. The medium size Hip Bag is one helluva sturdy bag that is lined with recycled billboard banner material... which I like. It holds it form and can hold loads of goodies. I easily loaded my mini u-lock, iPhone, set of tubes, levers, Park Tool multi-tool, snacks, and much more. This little fellow also features 2 extra pockets... perfect for your more precious items.
Like the Hip Bag, Burro Bags uses recycled billboard banner material on their Pedal Straps. With the adjustable velcro straps... it’s practically effortless to get that perfect fit. For an added bonus... these straps come with one secret stash pocket. You can use your imagination in regard to what you want to stash. What stands out about these straps is that they are sturdy and not flimsy. So even if you accidentally crush down on them... they will pop back up enough to wiggle your foot back into it.
Big thanks to Jack and everyone @ Burro Bags!
adidas Samba x MADSAKI Trainer
Nov/19/2009 Archived in: Nov 2009
Spotted @ Rock’n’Rollin Fixie Riders Club.
Part of the adidas Originals Five-Two 3 collection, this Samba has been re-worked by Japanese artist MADSAKI. MADSAKI grew up in New York City and spent time working as a bike messenger. At the time, the Samba had just launched and was the perfect shoe to wear because of how they fit into the clips of the bike pedals – an obvious choice for the collaboration. In a classic monochrome colourway these have a black snakeskin effect upper with a black leather Velcro lace-flaps and white sole detail. – oki-ni

Outlier Khaki OG
Nov/16/2009 Archived in: Nov 2009
For many men putting on a pair of khakis is as much a part of the morning as breakfast. Take a daily operation, and subtly improve it. It's always been how we work at Outlier, and since we weren't quite ready to improve your breakfast, we came up with a better Khaki instead. A cleaner wearing pant, they move freer, breathe better, and handle moisture with ease. Whether you cycle to work everyday, or fly around the world on the regular, a straight up better pant to get the job done. The Outlier Khaki OGs.
