Fixed Gear London just posted up this photo of Oscar crank arm sliding a pretty high rail. This is the kinda shit i love seeing on a fixed freestyle. So ballsy. I'm very curious about the 29r BB17 frames. They look like a ton of fun.

Matt's got the multiburst composites on lock, just like Boothby and these tire grab x-ups.

Santos, McKeag and Congo hit up the Resist Warehouse for a quick session. Watch as these three put it to work in the park. Very impressive.

Next Wednesday, I'm headed to Melbourne to see some friends and prepare for a ride with Dan and Andy that will surely kick my ass back to the States. Before we take off, Andy from FYXO HUB is throwing a little after-work party on Friday, February 10th. We'll be playing EMPIRE and drinking heavily so roll through! I'm excited to be back in Melburn. Thanks to Luke for helping us set this up and Fyxomatosis for playing host.

Drinks from 6pm, movie at 7pm. Be there!

A year of saving money, selling my precious NOS parts and ultimately, my beloved Merckx MX-Leader was worth it. These two photos have me so stoked to see how my Bishop road bike is going to turn out. Keep an eye on the Bishop Flickr for more of his 2012 NAHBS progress.

Jordan Hufnagel still has a few spots left in his Porteur City Bike Project. From the looks of this photo, you'd be in for a treat if you secured a spot. Check out the details here and email Jordan if you're interested.

Andy at Fyxomatosis loves to polish components. His hands have touched more bicycle porn than anyone else I know, save for the best bike shop in the World. This new Pinarello build has a few special surprises in store, so head to FYXO for the full scoop.

When Volume first started buzzing about their commuter bike, the Generator, it was a whole different beast. They started out by putting an 8-speed Alfine hub on one of their fixed freestyle frames but knew they had to put more thought into it before pushing it through to production. By replacing the calipers with disk brakes and running internal routing, the Generator quickly became an all-purpose, curb-hopping, around town, bar and cafe bike for people who want a little more fun in their morning commute. I got my hands on one a few weeks back and have been enjoying the ride so far.

Check out more below!

I didn't shoot a lot of photos yesterday but when I bumped into Eirlie, she told me about Bike Babes, so I swung through for the meet-up. This group ride is a weekly event, which usually is on Tuesday, but next week it'll be on Wednesday. Make sure you roll through if you're in town.

Cinelli_X_RVCA_4.jpg.scaled1000.jpeg

I can't say I'm the biggest fan of those Barry McGee Cinelli pistas but this one's got enough nice parts on it to sway my opinion. Check out Bike Minimalism for more photos of this pricey pista.

AJ can switch pedal feeble as good as he can regular, so this was no big deal for him. While the LBC kids were in town, Leo got this slick photo of AJ doing what he does best: big ledges. Slick.

It's crazy that Alex Singer doesn't build frames on Saturday because he needs a dedicated day for customers who stop by randomly. Here's a video showcasing his frame building shop, shot by Henrik, a Belgian reader.

Eirlie is what many would consider a bad-ass girl. She rides this beautiful, yet well-loved Clamont track bike on the streets, brakeless and with drops. Aside from helping promote a weekly girl's ride called Bike Babes, she also worked on that video I posted yesterday. I met up with her randomly on the street today and snapped a few photos of her bike while she stood chatting.

Check out more below.

Somec.jpg

The Italians love their gold and this '83 Somec Roccanti embodies that over-the-top decadence you'd expect from the 80's. But gold plated and pantographed? This one's going on some collector's wall.

Speed_Woodsman.jpg

The Speedvagen blog directed me to this photo set on Flickr and now my brain is melted. I know people love Speedvagens, but their latest cross, built for "The Woodsman" is divine. Now it just needs some mud! Oh and the dog's not too shabby either.

I was just chatting with Tom on Facebook when I saw this sick photo that Finn shot in Montreal. That's a proper rail hop. You remember this from his Specialized edit right? It looks much bigger here than in the video. So sick.

I was going to post this during "Matt Spencer week" here on the site but I figured I'd give it some space. Since first meeting Joe back in 2010, I was a big fan of his riding. He's got the ability to mix the big, hucker riding with precision and style. This wallride on a fence photo for Unknown came out so sick. It's gotta be one of Matt's best photos. Check out more at Wolf Drawn.
