The Radavist

Walton has been absolutely killing the track bike criteriums over the past few years and at this year’s Red Hook Crit, Brian Vernor got this great portait of him.

Clint Culpepper organizes plenty of races (top photo) and Jeremy’s write up of the Portland Design Works Omnium at The Athletic documents this successful event through the eyes, the lens and the words of someone who hasn’t been to a track race in years. There were hot dogs, rad track bikes, root beer kegs and cash payouts! Check out more at The Athletic!

The latest from Superb is going to make a lot of people drool. I love loud, vibrant paint jobs and details like those wheels really add to the overall build. That’s a damn good looking bike. Check out more at Superb.

Here’s another from Dosnoventa, featuring their Detroit 2 frameset.

Dosnoventa had begun featuring their frames in quick web videos. This one showcases their Houston track frame.

As you can imagine, Austin has a fairly small cycling scene when compared to other major US-cities. Every time you go for a pedal, you’ll bump into someone you know. A few weeks back, I ran into Jacob on the pedestrian bridge and took some photos of him for the Austin Rapha Survey. His Bridgestone is one of the most “well used” bikes in my circle of friends.

Check out two more below!

I feel like I post a lot of Kyle’s work but with coverage like this, why wouldn’t I? Check out more of his Wolfpack Hustle Crit photos here!

I really admire what Jeff is doing over at All-City. In short: it’s true grassroots support. His sponsored riders get to test out products and provide PR&D before the final run gets made. Take this All-City Thunderdome prototype Kyle from Tracko shot photos of. Head over to his Flickr for more!

The Silo Sprints take place in Auckland, New Zealand. They’re quick, 400m sprints in a section of closed off road. See more photos rad bikes being raced here!

Everyone loves the Kagero and now the Renovatio takes a step in a new direction:

“Leader Bikes is pleased to announce it’s newest collaboration with Pedal Consumption: The Renovatio.  Luke Binder, California’s 2010 Elite State Roadrace Champion, has quietly been testing the frameset both on and off the track to ensure it’s high quality construction and compact geometry meets the high expectations set by the previous Leader X Pedal Consumption frame, the Kagero.  Look for The Renovatio this Fall at your local Leader Bikes dealer.”

I’ve always loved the Cinelli Pinocchio stem. Nice shot Brenton!

I’ve started to post some of the film photos from China that didn’t make it to the Ends book or photo show up on the Norse Photo. Most of which are riding shots, something I love taking but for whatever reason, didn’t make it into the Ends.

Mission Workshop still has a few copies of the books left and we’re working out international shipping rates as well… More on that this week.

Tools of the trade:
Shot from a moving bicycle
Mamiya 7ii / 65mm
Kodak Portra 400 / high res scan

Chris’ photos are always great and his 35mm shots from the Red Hook Crit Navy Yard race are nothing short of exceptional. Head on over to his Flickr for more! That portrait of Dan is awesome man.

Nice one from TCB Courier in support of their new kit pre-order!

“When we’re not busy on the streets, you can find the riders of TCB keeping it real and always looking it fresh in SF. Support us in raising money for a new cargo bike by picking up a TCB kit, so we can bring more food to you faster! The kit, produced by Endo Customs, is available now in our web store at tcbcourier.bigcartel.com. Pre-order ends June 30th!”

Hell yes. I love the new rider profiles that Mash is putting out. Don’t freak out (again), no cones were harmed in this video clip.
