Sunday fill-in

Sam is is off getting pissed on a trampoline this weekend so I thought I should fill in. Nothing new to show you, just a few videos I've come across recently.

I really love this video. Mainly because it's set in my two favourite places in the world (after Leeds) - Biarritz, France and San Sebastian, Spain. Brings back a lot of great memories. Photography is really nice.

This one is a bit long winded, but it has really nice sounds.

Found this piece really well executed. Didn't feel like a studio. Old geezers shouldn't be allowed to ride with carbon components though. Give this man some cast iron sti's.

Was real surprised to see this up on BLB today - A phil with the FGFS scene in mind - Oversized bearings and axles and bolt on sprocket.

Columbus - Cinelli


Columbus-Cinelli from mybeautifulparking on Vimeo.

Its always nice to see behind the scenes of the machines you ride. Although Cinelli maintains superbrand status, the factory still has a nice feel to it.

Our home boys from Merseyside always put out rad videos with killer sound tracks. Enjoy this latest instalment of Chickin going mental on a bicycle.

Hello

I was over at TokyoFixedGear checking out some of the stock from the new drop but thought this was worth a post...While you're over there, the new Endura lines are looking pretty strong in the winter warmer category.

Dead Cannondale

But thankfully the rider is alive and well. Ian from FGCapeTown was the victim of a hit and run by a bus this morning - Hope your fairing ok man!

Hitchcog


Hitchcog from Freaxed on Vimeo.

Just in time for Halloween - This is one of the nicest videos I've watched in a while; not for the riding but for the creativity and of course the aero slasher mask - I can't wait to see more. Coming 2011 from Freaxed

Rapha Rendezvous


Rapha’s iPhone app calledRendezvous is a unique app in which you can designate meeting points with your friends, without having to go through the hassle of sending messages and having missed calls. The app allows you to invite cycling friends or strangers with the same passion to get together for a ride. It even can track your friends traveling to a rendezvous point in real-time.
Much like the calendar in the iPhone, you can add a description to a scheduled appointment, such as information about the distance, terrain, pace and kits necessary for the trip. Reminders can also be set, so you won’t miss a single cycling trip anymore. If you would like to keep your ride meeting points personal, you can set the appointment privately. However if you are feeling more adventurous, you can set public ride appointments or browse through and join a public ride.

Available on the app store for the grand price of FREE

This looks so much fun despite the terrible weather! Last years looked pretty gnarls but I think this takes it a little further. That stair set at the end! via Prolls

Mohawk Fine Paper just launched this book to promote their superfine paper.

Some really nice photography and the finishes sound amazing - read more about it over at ForPrintOnly

Outlier Merino Hoodie

The biting cold this morning prompted me to repost this Merino Hood from cycling outfitters, Outlier. Drop tail, longer cuffs and a helmet friendly hood could make this a winter staple. Not on the cheap but if you have some cash to splash then head here.

Life Cycles

Life Cycles OFFICIAL Trailer from Life Cycles on Vimeo.


Nothing to do with fixed gear bikes, but worth a watch for the beautiful cinematography and awesome riding.

Table Mountain

A few of the FGCapeTown crew got an early start up Table Mountain to get these shots at 8am. Amazing scenery and the weather dont look half bad either. More shots up on the flickr

Saturday Night in



Me and the missus are just like this every weekend...

Ghostriders


GHOSTRIDERS from Bicycle Store on Vimeo.

Fiksikeskarit


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

Spotted this up on FGB. Its nice to see another place with weather contrasting to all those west coast trick jams you watch. Rain. Dark Nights. Beer. Standard.

Bike Pattern

A nice bit of tesalation by AmyMartino - some nice stuff on her site too. Thanks for the link Nick.

Bishop

Another Bishop bike has just been uploaded to the flickr - some really nice pink lug lining and that trademark speared seat-tube detail.

Nitto

TokyoFG managed to fit a trip to Nitto into their eastward travels. They have a few vintage catalogue shots up on the flickr now but they're trying to get some footage of the actual making of the bars which should be coming soon...

Vegan Concor

I'm with Kyle on this one - I have owned loads of synthetic saddles and they never seem to bed in as nicely as a leather one. I do like the black on white branding rather than gold though.

Keep mixing those chemicals you synthetic bastards.

Gotta have the power to back this up. Bound to fuel some of that 'All fixie riders are fucking hipsters' hate. Love the print though!

Vans x Brooks release...

This is probablt the fourth or fifth post I've written about this release, but it feels like its been ongoing for years! I read a little more info on this over at the Canoe blog today (thanks for the link Laura).

They are finally set to release the very limited saddle (500) and kicks (1000) in November. They will be available only through Brooks dealers of excellence and Vans Vault retail accounts. Wonder if they will ever sell that awesome embossing plate...

Milltag x Prolly

I'd say that neither of the collaborators need an intro here - Prolly's love of purple embodied in this jersey by Milltag.

Pre-Order here.

The Hills

The Guardian have a nice feature up at the moment about the Lancashire Road Club Open Hill Climb. Some really nice shots and some audio from the day, discussing the event and its heritage. Well worth a look/listen.

Check it out here.

24K Gold Level


Saw this over at TokyoFG. Built by Level for a Keirin racer who actually raced this thing before returning it to Level for display. All manner of bling aside, I'm just stoked on the matt black and gloss metal contrast.
