Hardcourt Bike Polo Finnish Championships 6.-7.8.2011

Yeah, the first ever Hardcourt Bike Polo Finnish Championships are taking place between 6.-7.8.2011 in Helsinki. There are going to be about twenty teams from all over the country playing. More info here.

Teh Fastest Basket

tya's new old Fuji Track Pro with the fastest basket in the town. I can dig this!

Polkupyöräpoolon SM 6.-7.8.2011

Looks like it's getting serious... More info here.

The tournament will be organized by Suomen Polkupyöräpoolo ry.

Business Idea?

Yes, Musta & Valkoinen in Helsinki now offers the service of taking professional studio photos of your bike for the price of a standard official passport mugshot, ie. 15€ a pop.

*** Pajafest 30.4.-1.5.2011 ***

Second Pajafest at the Satama Social Center for real bike punx and other DIY-folks. Go there and show suppport when you still can because it seems quite likely that the social center will be evicted in June, the building will be demolished soon after to make way for the development of the Kalasatama area.

Nelson Pista

I can dig this.

If you're not familiar with the Nelson track frame, check it out here. Lot of people seem to be happy with theirs and why not? Very reasonably priced, light enough, proper classic track geometry with non-sloping top tube and carbon fork. This might well be one best deals in its own category out there currently, especially considering all the crap Ebay is flooded with nowadays.

KRNKY T Sneak Peek

Bianchi Pursuit Pista

Miglos' new whip, for two reasons:

1.) The front wheel is the first wheel I ever built (teh link makes me LOL a little...) and it seems to be still holding up fine. Makes me proud. ;)

2.) There's a LOOK Ergostem right there and I already posted some Ergostems earlier today.

Tomorrow!

From North & South

Two simple riding videos from Finland, above from Oulu in the north (kinda...), below from Helsinki in the south. Both act as of reminders that winter is coming soon, as if anyone needed that...

Helsinki Fixed Gear Documentary 'Fiksikeskarit'

Fiksikeskarit from T/N/T/S on Vimeo.

A documentary short movie about the long-running Yksivaihde.net Wednesday Tricks & Beers Social Night, filmed and edited by tnts in Töölö, Helsinki. This is about as rad as it gets around here.

Oh well, I feel sorry that I missed this week's sesh when the filming took place. And while I'm no movie critic I detect a flavor of Finnish modern cinema in Aki Kaurismäki's vein, bit of Cinéma Vérité and even a hint of classic Italian Neorealism somewhere in there.
