3rd: craig (evans bicycle supermarket)
dfl: andy

props to the few but fast riders that entered; and thanks, as always, to marshals and sponsors.

Kyle wrote about these over at Tracko today. As you've probably guessed, I'm all about the tyre life (or lack of it as the case may be). These sound pretty interesting - a development by Freedom Bicycles, a sub company of WTB.

There are four tyre types being developed but rather than go on and completely rewrite the post - go read it here!

Deaf Pigeon

Not sure how I missed this one - I see Ty and Neek have already got on this one... Saw the image above up on PedalConsumption today and thought it looked hella pretty (gotham medium?) so I gave it a click.

The Preston based site, DeafPigeon (another one for the North) is well worth a look, particularly for the new RideMap section, where you can tweet (from your iphone or maybe your computer, as long as you have geolocation enabled?) if you fancy a ride and your status is updated on a map here. A little difficult to explain but go read up on it. Another excuse to waste the hours away with technology!

Another set up at FixFixFix

Feather Rando



Some more awesome work from the Feather workshop. Full custom Rando - so damn nice. The chrome plated custom stem is a definite winner. Check out another shot of it Racked up on Jammy's Flickr...

Bank Holiday Relay

The bradders lads extended their winning streak last night at the Armories relay loop. Nate (restrap) Neil and Andy put in some mad pedal action to beat off the competition.

The loop was only around two miles but the brutal headwind made it a very testing affair! What I thought might be a steady race ended up as a straight up sprint...

A big thanks to Emma for bringing all the home made cookies for post race snacking and taking loads of photos - these will be up through the week. Also thanks to Nate from Re-Strap for donating some straps as prizes - these ended up in a tombola as the winning team were all running restrap already! Props are also due to the two York lads that ventured over bringing some epic hangovers in tow - was real good to meet some new riders.

Burro Eyes Wide Awake

Another print pack from the folks at Burro. I reckon a black on black crow would make a pretty nice option with this animal theme...

What Chainset?

The 75 brought the rukus in the chainset poll winning nearly 40% of the vote with the next runner up being Dura Ace with 15%. The next poll will be up now - hopefully we will go through a full bike and see what a readers favourite will look/ride like...

Fast Forward

London on July 1st. The idea is to get the strongest riders from all over the world for one grand final alleycat. Sounds awesome!

Feather 26 Inch

Definitely an interesting one from Feather here - A multi-purpose build for Leeds/Canada Josh from Asbo Polo. Look forward to seeing this in the flesh man. 


I'll leave the commentary down to Ricky: the second installment is josh kupsch' 26 inch. This bike turned out awesome! pacenti artisan lugs,paragon machine works rear dropouts with derailleur hanger and bottle opener, internal cable routing, rear brake bosses tucked out of the way underneath the stays, it also has a 1" to 1 1\8" converter i made for a wider choice in clamp on stems, it's basically everything josh wanted. perfect for his trip to europe this summer for a mix of polo and long distance rides.


Feather Track Frame

This latest build by Feather is a custom track build for Danny Clancy. A classic frame with an amazing paint job by BicyclePainworks. Good work Ricky!
