For each Red Hook Crit race, there is a prize bike and each year, the prize bikes just keep getting better! For example, here’s a look at the 2013 Red Hook Crit Barcelona Cinelli 824 track bike, which is arguably the best prize bike yet. Assembled by Barceloneta Bikes.
Some race (and lucky) racer is going to bring this one home with them this weekend!

This video is a lot of fun, with an unexpected ending. Don’t miss it!
It seems that the first batch of the Brother 725 Track frames from Brother Cycles just landed at Kinoko. Head on over to check them out!

I shoot a lot of bikes, so when I see a unique photo, I always take note. This one in particular came from Tracko last week and I never got around to re-posting it. Check out more great photos of this murdered-out GT track bike here!
Greg Falski‘s Stoked on Fixed Bikes 14 is now online for free. It features an interview with Juliet Elliot and the Grime coast to coast tour for Ride + Style.
Summer is here and that means road trips! Some just choose to ride their bikes:
“4 Days. Over 400 Miles.
11 people. Bike crews from NYC and Montréal. NYC: Chalet Magazine. MTL: The Starley Rover Society x Vélo iBike. Cyclists from Québec, France, England, Australia, Saskatchewan. Road bikes and Fixed Gear bikes, no brakes.
Start: La Colombe (SoHo, NYC).
Finish: Taverne Chez Normand (Plateau Mont-Royal, Montréal)”
I can’t wait to see more. That’s some beautiful countryside they rode through. The full-length premiered at the Jakalope Fest.
Here’s a video from State, shot on the weekend of the Wolfpack Hustle 2013 Civic Center Criterium. It’s even got some clips of Clary riding some street.
When I travel, I always have a camera on me and lately, it’s been a toss up between the Mamiya and the Leica. The only time I really carry my digital camera with me is if I am going to shoot a bike, or a shop, but in general, all my travel photos have been film. Which creates an overflow of randomness from each city I visit. Most of which don’t merit a post just by themselves. See some narrated photos of faces and places in the Gallery! Hey, if I don’t post them, they’ll sit on my hoard drive…
“Cycles” is a new trailer that interviews cycling figures in Italy. Beginning with Alberto Masi, a frame builder named Soldino Soldani and two different shops: Ciclistica in Milan and Iride Fixed in Modena.

I’ve always loved the Cinelli Pinocchio stem. Nice shot Brenton!
Who knew that skateboarding legend John Cardiel was such a marksman with the bow and arrow? I guess you learn something new everyday.
Here’s the first edit video recap I’ve seen of the Wolfpack Hustle CVCCTR crit and it probably won’t be the last…
This is amazing. Burd sent this over and a wave of nostalgia hit me. He and his son spent a Sunday out on their bikes… R.I.P. Bootleg Sessions.
No cone-kickage, outlaw behavior in the latest from MASH. Nice video guys!

The track bike criterium is a rapidly-growing event worldwide and over in Berlin, there’s a new fixed gear crit training series called Crucial Crit. Photographer Constantin Gerlach was on site for the first day of racing, documenting it all. See more here!
Wow. This event looks insane and the Tru Fix Kru did a great job with the recap. See more here!
Ok, this is pretty rad and while I still dig Alan’s Hail Satan Porteur, I’ll commend Tobias for keeping it DIY and letting that rack oxidize. Thanks for the heads up Alan!
When it really comes down to it, the way bicycles are characterized or described is a matter of a few degrees and centimeters. Finding that middle ground as far as angles, clearances and other key measurements isn’t easy. The Fyxation Quiver tries on the “jack of all trades, master of none” hat for size. Now, don’t read that as negative commentary, because you’d be surprised how similar the bikes in your own personal quiver are… Removable derailleur, cable stops and other design details make this a contender for the all-rounder market.
