Could this possibly be the most stupidest thing with the most stupidest name ever? I'm not saying that it doesn't do what it is supposed to do but still. Come on?!

Edit.
And for all yo'all DIY -spirited people out there, Kyttyrä shows you how to do it:

Weekend Trip To Stockholm

Last weekend we "did" Stockholm. The drunken ferry, bike polo, beer, mashing around the town, the Finland vs. Sweden match even made it into the local newspaper. Great trip all in all, many thanks for the Stockholm boys and girls for hosting us in Söder!

Zunow vs. Rossin

Remember this Rossin pursuit on Ebay couple of weeks ago, right? It sold for US $2,551.00 and the seller was located in Indonesia. Well, Olli just pointed THIS out to me, it's from last October and from Malaysia:

"Pursuit Frame for Sale 


Here’s one pursuit frame in-store.According to the owner its a Rossin Olympic 88 but i couldn’t find any Rossin mark on the frame. After hours and hours of googling i came across Zunow in Chari  and Co’s website.

The frame geometry is almost similar to this frame; that got me thinking whether this frame is a Zunow or a Rossin as claimed by the owner who happens to be an ex-cyclist.Seat tube is 55cm (C – T) / Campagnolo track end / Tange Japan BB (Optional) / 650c fork or 700c fork (choose) / No dents or dings / Minor rust (will soon gone!)Priced at RM3,000 for the frame + fork + bb."

Very fascinating. Check 'em out here.

Premium Rush

 Did I really need to post this?

You will love these: SKS Raceblade Long

The rainy season is here already, and these look just fabulous. Standard short Raceblades are IMHO the best snap-on fenders by far so I have high very hopes for these. And for the record, I've tried Crud Roadracers but really couldn't get them installed satisfactorily on any of my bikes despite hard efforts.

SJT Recycled Fixed 29er MTB

Santtu's latest project is damn awesome. DIY fixed 29er MTB, with frame built mostly from parts scavenged from several old dead frames. The 'hanging' dropout design is pretty neat in itself and the tiny frame size makes the bike look almost like a 36er. The rear fixed hub and the beefy lockring are also designed and machined by the man himself. Gotta respect the mad metal working skills in effect here!

Blog Introduction: Velo Helsinki Style Blog

It's been a while since I last picked out an interesting new blog. So this came right on time:

"This photo blog is about documenting the looks of cyclists in Helsinki. We think they are awesome! So we try to do our best to give our fellow riders the credit they deserve."

The almost brand new Velo Helsinki @ http://www.velohelsinki.com/ seems to take their inspiration from a certain original Danish female cyclist stalking blog that spawned thousand copycats as well as from the infamously ridiculous Hel Looks Helsinki street style blog.

I'm entirely sure what to think about the Velo Helsinki but I know for a fact that especially the comments added to the photos already induced some teeth grinding somewhere. Also, I guess it's not like everybody who will end up being photographed riding out on town and minding their own business will be super thrilled about ending on some style blog to be "flattered" with nice comments on their awesome bike or personal style.

Anyhow, despite all this let's hope the guys will keep busy and up the good work portraying HKI cyclists' styles.

Fuji Pro Track vs. Specialized Langster Pro. Don't look too different from each other but maybe that's just the style of 2012.

Sorry, what the...!?

Once I had recovered a bit, I checked out this and felt already much better.

The build looks gross. What's wrong with you, Bianchi USA people?!

Chrome Midway Pro SPD

More coolness from Chrome, SPD version of the Midway. Get 'em here now!

Just keep in mind that the sizing on Chrome Pros is bit weird, "Order a half size smaller than other Chrome shoes and up to a full size smaller than other vulcanized shoes.", or that's what they tell you.

Cinelli Art Tapes 2012

I certainly can dig these. Photo from here.

Superb Sprint

"Here is a quick teaser of our first prototype. This one is called the Superb Sprint and is an aluminum frame with lugged steel fork. It is amazingly light weight, matching the Cinelli Mash, and that has a carbon fork!" ... aaand it looks almost like the Cannondale Track!

Cinelli Laser Pista 2012 Limited Edition

You've all seen this already from Eurobike but here we go. The word is that production starts this month but the number of frames will be very limited. Apparently "7000 Euros, 10 pcs worldwide"...

From here.

More photos here too.

Unholy Lo Pro

Gigantic!

...unlikely yes, but maybe it's a team of dwarves? Ok, it's from World Track Cycling Championship `89 in Lyon, France and the photo comes from here.

Back to the Square One

Going around in circles. My first fixed gear bike was a road bike conversion and my latest project is, yeah you guessed it, a road bike conversion. Bit more sophisticated this time, though, as a person with some serious skills helped me a bit here.

So I got me an old and pretty beat-up Rossin road frame. I wanted it cleaned off of all the gear-related parts, I wanted Campy-style track ends like in my Rossin Pista but I also want full long fenders front & back to keep my ass dry. Let's see how this will turn out.
