Seen in Stockholm...

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.

What's going on in here?

Mercky Friday

Fascinating project. But I wonder what Eddy himself would say upon seeing this?

"ODI grips encrusted with rubys"

WTF? And the starting bid: £965.00.

Check them out HERE if you don't believe this is true.

Yeah, f**k you too.

Like this, two days going now. Drunken attempt at parking your Saab, anyone? Ok, this can also be a prank as the doors of the car are unlocked.

"Messenger Bike (Italy, 1978)"

"Messenger Bike (Italy, 1978)
Now considered a staple design among modern cyclers, this 1970s bike is the ultimate fixie."

Yeah, right. From Vanity Fair, click to see more.

WARNING! DO NOT BUY OR RIDE MICHE PISTA CHAIN !!!

Because it SNAPS. It is not safe. Simple as that.

This Miche Pista 1/8" chain was basically brand new, less than a week and 100 kilometres old, not shortened (52x20t gearing) and just went snap! like that this morning when I was going down a hill on my commute. Nothing happened but I guess in theory I could have died.

You can always say maybe it was not installed right, it is not meant for street riding in the first place, this kind of thing happens, might be an isolated incident, the weak quick lock link must have failed, whatever. Not cool. So F**K YOU VERY MUCH FAC MICHELIN S.p.A. and your shitty products.

Also, in addition the same thing has happened recently to three people here in Helsinki alone, and if you Google this a bit, there are more similar reports out there. Plus, Paavo the Messenger has cracked two Miche Advanced Track driveside crank arms within last 18 months. Ok, he obviously haz dem power legs of steel so that might be a whole other story right there.

'Coast No Coast' Documentary

Coast No Coast - Quote edit from Brock Mitchell on Vimeo.

"Coast No Coast is a new documentary that will cover the 2200 kilometer journey from Vancouver to Mexico on fixed gears."

Wait, so they're gonna ride down from Vancouver all the way to Mexico on a tricktrack bike wearing casual urban clothing? Not wanting to be a hater or anything byt that sounds damn epic for sure, just maybe for wrong reasons. I wish them all the luck!

Via Prolly again.

Yeah! // Lazzaraza Teaser
