Steamroller

“Ascoltate un veterano della fissa abbastanza a lungo e lui inizierà ad essere filosofico sui ‘fissati’, e su come la bici sia un'estensione del proprio corpo, e su come la semplicità e il silenzio siano gradevoli per i sensi, e su come la guida in un primo momento sia snervante e poi un’assuefazione. Come abbiamo detto quando abbiamo introdotto il telaio Steamroller, noi non cercavamo di convincere che guidare una 'fissa' è meglio o più speciale, per cui si dovrebbe assolutamente provare. Questo dovrete stabilirlo da voi stessi”. (Da http://surlybikes.com )
Steamroller
Listen to veteran fixed gear riders long enough and they’ll start to wax philosophic about fixies, how the bike is an extension of one’s body, how the simplicity and the silence are pleasing to the senses, how riding one is at first unnerving and later addictive. As we have said since we introduced the Steamroller frameset, we won’t try to convince you that riding ‘fixed’ is better or special or why you should try it. You’ll have to determine that for yourself. But whether you’re old school or new hat, you’d be hard pressed to find a better canvas to build your ideal street machine. (From http://surlybikes.com )

Mr. Bertelli from New York has struck again. Here is another masterpiece of elegance, technique and taste. See the photos here in detail. A rare Titan stem that resembles a vintage Cinelli, a rare English leather saddle, chrome straight forks, crankset Gipiemme, white tires. What should you ask more for only 1600 dollars?
Vanmoo

Vanmoo
It’s always fun for us to discover a previously unknown bicycle company such as Dutch bike company VANMOO, a brand that has stayed relatively quiet since their launch in late May this year. The hands-down best feature is the sleek aluminum rust-free frame with a highly advanced solar powered LED light system built inside its tubes (the same one lights used for airport landing strips) that turns on by wiping the key chain over the frame. Like magic the light will start flashing. “We were inspired by the good old-fashioned Dutch bike”, explains the 28-year old Dutch designer Sjoerd Smit, “we stripped the bike from whims that can only break or cause frustration and added innovation and style”. VANMOOF is available in Tokyo, Barcelona, Jakarta, Paris, NYC, Milan, Sydney, Amsterdam and London. (http://limitedhype.com)

Ah, le gioie di una bicicletta - Ah, the joys of a bicycle

Ah, the joys of a bicycle
From the day your training wheels got removed and you collided with a fence, to the first time you declared: "Oh yeah, well I can ride with no hands!". Bicycles certainly are a joyous invention that conjure up nostalgic memories. This set of twenty cards are wonderful for everyday correspondence or as a thank you note. By Farouche

Stoica

Stoica
In my opinion, Francesco Bertelli is a fine example of Italian genius, who settled in New York; he assembles fixed bikes of extraordinary beauty. His website is of rare elegance. Here we present his "work" entitled "stoic", and this is how he proposes it. “Brakeless track bike. The frame is a protoype that will be ready for sale on starting spring 2010. Tight geometry. Frame 57. Suitable for riders 5.8 and up. The saddle is a vintage brooks b17 narrow. SR made in japan stem and nitto steel bars”. We will surely talk about him again.

MASH

MASH
It was presented at Interbike, in Las Vegas, the newest Cinelli MASH, the fixed designed in collaboration with the creative team MASH from San Francisco, which is a myth for fans of the fixed gear. Founded by Mike Martin and Gabe Morford few years ago holds around him artists, photographers, designers, messangers and is a melting pot where ideas, products, and adventures on two wheels are born. And they realized the cult movie Mash, about one hour with fun and breathtaking shots of the pioneers in the fixed area in California. They have been called by Lance Armstrong to make a clip of 5 minutes in which the many times winner of the Tour de France rides fixed beside them in Austin, and the video was presented at the stand of Cinelli in Las Vegas. Now, with Antonio Colombo, they created an exciting new project. The graphics are designed by Benny Gold, a designer most famous in the area between the street and skate with assets collaborations with Adidas, Nike, Burton and other brands of trendy West Coast.

Che sudata! – What a sweaty!
Sella + attrezzi – Saddle + tools

Pieter Janssen di Design Amsterdam ha creato questo progetto di sella contenente alcuni degli attrezzi essenziali. Design Amsterdam realizza cartoni animati, concept disegn, impressioni di artisti e storyboard, per una vasta gamma di clienti. Fare schizzi solo con carta e penna è ancora il modo più veloce per tradurre i pensieri in concetti chiari o disegni, e ti permette di influenzare il progetto mentre si realizza, come se steste disegnandolo voi stessi. Questi schizzi poi diventano un progetto della presentazione finale.
Saddle + tools
Pieter Janssen from Design Amsterdam has created this draft of a saddle containing some of the essential tools.Design Amsterdam provides cartoons, concept drawings, artist impressions and storyboards for a wide variety of clients. Sketching with merely pen and paper still is the fastest way to translate thoughts into clear concepts or designs, and it allows you to influence the process while it proceeds, as if you where drawing it yourself. These sketches then become a blueprint of the final presentation.
