Campagnolo Record Pista 165mm 151bcd crankset w/BB
I've been following this Ebay auction and it's really blowing by mind. At $500 with 6 hours to go still. Seriously? Because I don't get it, what's so special about those? It's just an older 151bcd Campa Pista 165mm crankset in nice condition with a big matching chainring, bolts, caps and bottom bracket.
Weeeeell, I got similar set with 49t chainring (the kind with the special extra thick inner lip) and a British threaded BB, all in very nice condition. And I guess I'd be willing to part with mine, so I'll accept any offer above $500...
EDIT.
The auction ended at US $531,00. Crazy.

Vitus ZX1
Did I just say something about geared retro road bikes being the next thing? Post-fixie Hipster road cycling, anyone?
If you're feeling me on this issue, here's something you just need to check out: a rare 1994 Vitus ZX1 Aero Carbon road bike on Ebay. All Campagnolo'd out and with double 'spoks. Hot 'ish. Even if I start sounding bit too much like AlanWMD, I'm like, whoah, my head is exploding, dude!
You can go bidding crazy HERE.

Long Beach Photo Shoot // Sonic Reducer
Only one thing to say about this one: I was mighty disappointed when the video started with opening chord blast of the Deadboys' 'Sonic Reducer' but then it cut right into some boring whatever song...
So, in order to correct this mistake I'll post the song for yo'all:
Kinfolk Bicycles Ad
This appears to be an Ad for Kinfolk Bicycles, for which I have lots of love. Say what you will but I dig the classic style of their frames and the builds too.
Also, mad respect for popping wheelies in the traffic with those narrow unwrapped B123s, man. However, I got one question: what's up with missing the other grip...?

Smell The Roses
Smell The Roses from zack mctee on Vimeo.
So, while this movie is not particularly spectacular by any means, it exemplifies one of THE up-and-coming cycling trends for 2010 (especially since Cyclocross season has officially finished already): the Hipster Road Cycling. Mark my words.
Damn, even I myself am secretly building a geared 1990s-styled retro steel road bike in the darkness of my hidden underground lair...

Vending Machine
It's a vending machine. Yeah, so what? But what does it dispense?
Schwalbe inner tubes! Now how cool is that?

'Prinssit: Seksi ja fiksi'
I truly hate MySpace but I need to post this:
The very rude lyrics of the Prinssit's 'Seksi ja fiksi' ('Sex and fixie') track are quite incredible, it's sung in Finnish, though. Sexually very frustrated girlfriend complaining about her girlfriend who's only into fixie bikes...

YU from Osaka // GOrilla Test Ride
Yu from OSAKA from -xxxPHOENIX.xxx- on Vimeo.
EDIT.
Anyway, this does not mean that you should not check out the new GOrilla Le Lama on their website. The frame geo looks pretty much the same as the Kilroy but with a classic-style fork instead.
Girls on Vigorelli
... Cinelli Vigorelli, that is.
The pic is about RODE t-shirts, I guess. Check out more pics HERE if you feel inclined.

RVAFIXED! // Soul Glo
RVAFIXED! SOUL GLO from Mike Schmitt on Vimeo.
Now we're moving seriously into the BMX territory. And I don't mean only the riding, bikes or the tricks...
The Raddest Bike Of The Day
I don't know anything about this, just saw the picture on a web-forum somewhere. I was impressed.
Grim Unholy Wheelies // Nocturno Culto
This post is for John Prolly who fo'sho can appreciate the gif above!
Might not look like much but it appears to be Nocturno Culto from Darkthrone showing off his stone-cold wheelie skills, kind of in the middle of some dark unforgiving northern forest. On a menacing hybrid bike, no less. It also looks like he has a big black boot, or maybe rather a severed foot(!), on the rear rack.
Also, if darker metal is your thing, check out this blog with tons of grim downloads, I just came across it while googling some Nocturno pics.
Props to Happo-Orgiat for finding the wheelie gif.

Kolelinia
"Kolelinia is a city fly attempt. We are born to move, this makes us alive. The transport is not only a transport, it has to be an experience! The quality of this process reflects directly on the quality of our life. Is it possible to achieve a completely new level of transportation with minimum resources?
Kolelinia is a concept for riding our own bikes on a steel wire, a new type of bicycle-lanes…
This doesn’t replace the normal biking, this only helps in problematic zones!
Could be a bridge type, a longer transportation line or a special designed and independent touristic line. Of course it is too early to talk about mass use."
