Drop Bars Not Bombs – The Video

One summer afternoon, riding in downtown Seattle with good friends. We had just finished up a Zlog photo shoot and all decided to rip through the city on fast bikes while wearing Drop Bars Not Bombs shirts. I hope to get more fast bike edits together in the future.

Skunk Stripe

Caught this pic over at Stuttgart fixed. A fender could’ve come in handy, but a muddy skunk stripe is a good look.


Throwback Thursday – The Davidson

I came up on this bike for $500 as pictured above and ended up using it mainly for tricks since it had excellent barspin clearance. At the time (2008) there were little to no fixed freestyle specific bikes and certainly none that had geometry like this bike. It wasn’t until the frame died that I moved on to the Volume Cutter, which was seemingly the standard trick bike at the time. We’ve come quite a ways since then with negative bottom brackets, 2.0+ tires, 26″/29″ rims, sloping top tubes and wide bars.

Gnar Lube?

behind the scenes video which happens to be better than the actual commercial. I think its lube for a chain, but I have my doubts.

Introducing Foad

The FOAD crew consists of Sam Allgood, Jackson Bradshaw, Evan Service, Izik Service, Parker Thompson, Connor Weight. Good stuff all around. I like seeing mashing mixed with thrashing!


Anthony Dropping Bars

The homie repping the Drop Bars Not Bombs tank!


Kuala Lumpur Fixed Gear Tournament 2011

It looks like lots of fun was had at this event in KL, Malaysia. I wish we could’ve made this one!

Macaframa is Going to Kuala Lumpur

Maca homies are going to grace Malaysia with their presence.


Ghosts Within the Machine

A Google street view shot of Seattle messenger, Adam, who had passed away. His buddy Justin discovered it randomly while browsing street view and snapped this screen shot. I don’t know much more than that, but the shot is eerily good and somewhat ghostlike.


SEOUL GOT SOUL – FALLEN LEAVES

Classy track video from DK productions that really got me in the mood for some fall riding.


Deaf Pigeon Edit – Coming Soon

Looks like our friends at Deaf Pigeon are putting together an edit. Fast bikes and skids!


Eddy!


C-dale with Zipp disc rear? Ballin!

Seriously, one of the nicest guys in Seattle.


Massan x Macaframa Raw

Massan’s had a huge influence on me in back in the day. His style and bike control while bombing a hill is unmatched. This video from Macaframa definitely takes me back to the first time I watched Massan ride in MASH. Check it out.


Rob K at the Naccc’s

I hear he was smashing things up down in Austin (Seattle reppin!). Anyone have the final results?

Keep reading for more amazing photo coverage by Gideon Tsang and check the whole flickr set here. The entire set is very good.

Livery Design Gruppe – Pursuit MK3

I am really feeling the new Pursuit MK3 by LDG. It has nice curves and many custom details such as the dropouts and seat-stay bridge. This frame would be a gem for anyone’s collection. Hell, I wouldn’t mind tearing up the streets on this beauty!

Continue on for more specs and price.

Alleycat in Ljubljana, Slovenia

This is the first Slovenian alleycat. Via the first Slovenian blog Muslauf. Get familiar, it is a good blog. Add it to your RSS! I think this may have already happened, but I dig the flier and look forward to seeing results from Slovenia’s first ever alleycat.


Stolen in Redmond, Washington

Steven Jensen’s buddy just got his bike jacked. Keep an eye out for a Fuji Track Pro with riser bars and clear grips. If you see the bike, lock it up and call the local authorities.
