ATMO, this looks great! Check out some more masterpieces at Richard Sach’s Flickr.

A good rigid MTB is a lot of fun, especially when it’s a Serotta. Check out more photos of Victor’s shred sled at Archive Bags and Shitbike.com!

This photo came from the Rivendell catalog, but I poached it off Olivier Chételat’s Flickr, which I recommend you check out, after you read these notes, scrawled by Mr. Peterson himself.

Geekhouse is having a spring cleaning, which means they’re selling some demo frames. Head over to their blog to check out the sizes available.

I love this photo from the Map Flickr!

“40 canti bosses + 40 low rider rack mounts + 40 wire routing braze-ons + 80 stainless dropout faces brazed on = 200 braze-ons right here.”

This is too wild. A company called Talbot Frameworks routed Di2 through the paint and the result is a R2D2 looking road machine called the Dalsnibba. See more at Talbot.

Thanks for sharing this post Michael!

Each year, Speedvagen delivers a lookbook for their forthcoming cyclocross frames. Shot by Jeff Curtes with the team both on the road and at home, these photos remind you that cross is coming.

Head over to the Speedbloggen to pick up a copy.

This is the video Brian Vernor made, documenting both the Argonaut disc gravel racer and the Rouge Roubaix. We were in St. Francisville for three days, where Brian and I did our best to document the bikes in action, before and during the race. His interviews offer insight into what makes the Rouge Roubaix tick, while opening up the personalities of the race officials and local vernacular.

Let’s just say he captured it all perfectly and it was an honor to work next to him that weekend!

Here’s a video recap of the 2014 Bespoked. It’s great to see some familiar faces in there and I’m so stoked that Winter won best track bike!

This year at NAHBS, Breadwinner took home the best MTB award for their Bad Otis 27.5″ hardtail. It was also one of my favorites in the show and now you can order one at Breadwinner. Just be prepared to have this bike want to smash nonstop!

Indy Fab brought their fat kid to NAHBS and it definitely caused a stir. Check out more photos of the Chubby D-Lux at the Indy Fab Blog!

This Friday, May 2nd, Aaron from Stinner Frameworks will be at Mission Workshop from 7-10pm for a Q&A on frame building. Of course, there will be beer and bourbon.

Head over to Mission Workshop for details. If you do go to this event – you’d be crazy not to – do me a favor and give Stinner a high five. That dude is killing it.

After a successful Kickstarter and a booked pre-order last year, Brooklyn’s Horse Cycles continues to offer four very affordable, made in the USA frame options, ranging from racer to casual cruiser. Check out the full details at Horse Cycles and see the other three frame offerings below.

After I shot photos of Chris Bishop’s blue Drillium Revival Track Bike, a customer named Eduardo contacted him to make a similar bike, but as a singlespeed. I’d say it’s pretty damn close too. Especially the Drillium Revival cranks. See more at the Bishop Flickr.

I love seeing Ian from Icarus Frames‘ work oversees and in the capable hands at Blue Lug. This blue and white road bike looks incredible. Check out more at Blue Lug’s Flickr.

I hope your weekend was exceptional. Let’s start the week off right… This new black and gold Firefly is fire!

One thing’s for sure, custom steel doesn’t go out of style. While most mass-produced frames lose a considerable amount of value in three years, a Speedvagen maintains… This semi-custom, 54cm, Super Record 11-speed Road Machine is for sale. Everything is 80%-90% new and as the photos on the Speedbloggen show, it’s ready to rip. Contact Speedvagen for details – price is $7,500, which is a damn good deal.
