My friend Daniel "Gypsy" Licastro has been down in San Diego for several weeks before he ships off to the United Bicycle Institute in Ashland, Oregon. This cool ass Australian wrenches @ Gear Brisbane and is one helluva FAST rider. I first met Gypsy at the Fixed Fest 2011 in Jakarta, Indonesia and we recently kicked it @ Interbike 2011.

Anyhow, head over to Reciprocity Failure is see all the amazing photos Matt Lingo snapped of Gypsy… they are all so good and I couldn’t post them all =)

I’m looking forward to seeing you soon in PDX and niice look rear clincher!

Resist: Contact Hubs (Samples)

resist_contact_hubs_samples
"We recently got in all our sample Contact hubs to most of the team guys and the testing has been going great. The idea behind the Contact was to have smaller drivers (9t & 10t) similar to a BMX driver. The driver slides in and locks in. It doesn’t allow any sort of bolts or anything else to keep it fixed. The aesthetics of the hub looks awesome too, really clean and simple looking.  We’ll keep you guys posted as soon as we get to production."

LDG: Livery Pursuit MK3

ldg_livery_pursuit_mk3
"During the time we were developing our Pursuit MK2, we were also working on a variant of the frameset, now dubbed the Pursuit MK3. While the two frames are fairly similar, the primary differences are in the rear brake bridge and seat stay curvatures.

We've modeled the geometry after a dual 700c setup and removed the neck-breaking angles that traditional pursuit frames sport. The fork was designed to match this frameset, featuring intricate CNC details and embossed fork caps, to flow with the rest of the frame design."

VM PROJECT: Direction

Direction VIDEO from VM PROJECT on Vimeo.

"This film is about the people of S.F.G. (Seoul Fixed Gear) and Seoul city. This story shows the people who are trying to blaze a trail for fixed gear in Seoul, a city in which bicycle culture has not yet been defined. The people in the film range from graffiti artists, to film directors, to T-shirt designers, to B-boys, swimmers and bicycle mechanics.

It shows their individual passion for riding fixed.

Why do we ride in a city which cannot fully protect us by law? In a city in which cars rule the road so unrelentingly?...

The answer is simple."

Nasty & Marco: FOR THE COUNTRY


"Filming on FOR THE COUNTRY took place in April, 2011. Only a month earlier, on March 11, 2011, Japan was struck by a massive earthquake and tsunami that left nearly 20,000 people reported dead or missing. More than 800,000 homes were damaged or destroyed. Thousands of survivors are displaced and still living in temporary shelter.

Please take a moment to consider contributing to ongoing relief efforts. Mercy Corps, a Portland-based organization, works directly with Peace Winds Japan to provide on the ground assistance in affected areas."

Mercy Corps is a fantastic organization and my work has donations through them. Get on that!

"Built for use with the Fyxation Gates Platform Pedal, the Gates Pedal Strap is made out of durable 2″ nylon seat belt webbing and is built to take abuse. We designed the Gates pedal straps with an extra long top strap so they fit most shoes/boots and stiffened the lower strap so they keep their shape while on your pedals. Designed as much for freestyle riding as they are for the morning commute, the Fyxation Gates pedal strap is ideal for anyone looking for a durable, secure and adjustable alternative to toe clips."

Hands down… Chrome had the best looking booth @ Interbike. If you were looking for someone, chances are they were at the Chrome booth. I met up with Corinne who is the PR Coordinator for Chrome and she gave me a rundown on some their new products.

The first item she showed me was the Lieutenant… a 26L waterproof roll-top messenger bag which is part of the Militia series. It was impressive! Next in line was the Cardiel Attack Series collaboration that consisted of 3 inner-working bags (Fortnight, ORP, Shank). The ORP (Operation Readiness Pack) was probably the lightest daypack I have ever picked up. This collaboration is amazing and I highly recommend swooping up all three of them.

Speaking of collaborations, how about that sweet Chrome x Cog mid-ankle shoe! And for you ladies, check out these new Dolores kicks. This American classic shoe features waterproof Cordura and can be worn with or without laces.

Now, this is where I have a brain fart. I can’t remember the name of this bag, but all I know it was part of a night series? Anyhow, it’s shown on the second to last photo. This black beauty was the best Chrome messenger bag I’ve seen yet! Black buckle, reflective accents... a true beauty! (Update… it’s called the Night Series Citizen)

Thanks Corinne and Jackie!!!

Day 4 of Interbike was hectic as swarming crowds of people crowded up the aisles just to annoy me. Around noon time, I met up with Corinne @ Chrome and she walked me through all the new upcoming Chrome goodies that will surely put a huge smile on your face. I will be making a special entry for Chrome this weekend.

Later in the afternoon, I met up with Billy Sinkford and he gave me the heads up on some new gear from Mission Workshop, DZR Shoes, Feedback Sports, and his own signature helmet from Bern. And most importantly… heads up on the Affinity Kissena Velo Fund!

I have to tell you, I’m very impressed with the new VX series from Mission Workshop. You have to see it and feel it in person to grasp the true craftsmanship that went into these remarkable courier systems. Now, as you can see in the photo... DZR has a nice all black SPD compatible shoe coming out that looks really damn good! Lastly, Billy’s signature Bern helmet displays a detailed graphic that speaks for the man himself.

Our next stop was @ YNOT and their new line of bags are by far the best I’ve seen yet. A lot of thought went into these bags and the end result is one helluva innovative lineup.

Off to day 5 of Interbike!

Toro Quality Goods has partnered with Danish cycling outfit, Sofus Francisco, to refine a run of the new 'Tigh10' pro leather straps. The nylon strapping used is the strongest and most rigid material fit to handle the riding needs of both daily commuters and serious freestyle riders. Accommodates small and large shoe styles without compromising riding comfort or visual aesthetics.

No one likes a pocket full of keys grinding into their leg every time they hop on their bike, so we made the t-005. A rugged leather lanyard that offers a simple solution to this common problem. Constructed in the USA of heavy grade leather and durable steel hardware, it is made to withstand the rigors of life on the road.

Day 2 of Las Vegas was just another long day @ the Sands Convention Center. Kareem & crew landed in Vegas and we got a sneak peek of CRSH… something really sweet in the works!

Later in the day, Jacopo from Dodici flew in from Italy… along with some new 2012 Dodici models. If your in town for Interbike 2011, stop by the Leader booth and check out the spread.

2012 Cinelli x Mash Bolt Frameset

2012_cinelli_mash_bolt_frameset12012_cinelli_mash_bolt_frameset2
Just when you thought you were getting comfortable with the Histrogram model… introducing the third look for the Cinelli x MASH Bolt series.

"Enclosed is our third color scheme for the Cinelli MASH Bolt series. This frameset marks the return of the original Bolt geometry — preferred by some of our long distance riders and racers for its more comfortable approach. Built with the same solid Columbus Airplane construction and finished with a tonal silver top coat. The graphic palette draws its inspiration from historical Cinelli colors brought forward onto a modern street racer."

Outlier: The New Work Pants

outlier_the_new_work_pants
"Elegantly bombproof and quietly powerful, a simple, do-anything pant. Tough enough to handle the great outdoors, good looking enough to get you through any doorway, and comfortable enough that you know that you belong where ever you wind up. Cut medium lean with a straight leg and extended gusset for full freedom of movement. Made in NYC."

Introducing the New Works pants from Outlier.

Outlier: Outlier Storm King Parka (V2)

outlier_outlier_storm_king_parka_v2_1outlier_outlier_storm_king_parka_v2_2
"The Storm King Parka is built around our Supermarine® Cotton, a 21st century edit to a nearly forgotten World War II fabric. You can think of it as the pinnacle of cotton technology, highly breathable, extremely water resistant and completely windproof. It can only be made using the longest staple Egyptian cotton fiber, woven together in a dense weave that swells up and seals when exposed to water. 
 
For this iteration of the parka, we headed out to Vancouver and found a factory to properly tape up the seams for additional storm-proofing. We dialed in the cut, and sharpened up the details: Prim S snap closures, Italian seam tape, three double access envelope pockets with snap garages, a two way Riri Aquazip in the front, full sleeve zips, half pit zips, interior megastash pocket, hi-visibility hood design and a four-piece modified Pivot Sleeve construction for maximum freedom of movement."
