All-City Two-Six Fixed Prototype

Jeff from All-City was looking for a TALL rider to test their new LARGE 26" fixed gear frame. And our good friend Drew was just the man for the job. Designed as a trick specific fixed gear frame with a Mid bottom bracket and 14mm rear dropouts, this thing is a monster.

Drew has already been putting it to the test, not sure who is winning yet him or the bike, but it sounds like they are having some fun. This is still a prototype, so look for more news to come at the All-City Blog.

Thanks to Gary for the awesome pics.

Stay tunes for more about the expo as I sift through the MANY MANY photos...

Prolly has already posted about two dozen times about the Philly Bike Expo, but I am sure there is still more to show y'all.

Tony Smash!

The Sweathogs came through BIG TIME! This is what happens when you get a bunch of dudes together, some beer, and scrap wood. Philly Bike Expo Saturday and Sunday, BE THERE!

Nice Work Drew, and great riding by the Sweathogs and friends!

Cool Nights On Water Street!

It has been a few weeks since I have made it down to Water St. Last night was pretty chill, literally in the 60's. Sweathogs were representing, even without the sweat. Everybody was kickin' back and having fun, but Tony was killing it yet again! Drew and Carl were putting it down as well.

Gary Wilpizeski nailed some great photos, a few here, the rest on HIS FLICKR. Thanks G-Man!

Bitchin' NS Analog Cruiser!

So I have yet to post anything about the NS Analog frame that we get into stock a while back. Soap wanted to build his lady friend Summer a new bike after she had a "minor" incident a few weeks ago...

Decided on the Analog frame set to build her a new bad ass coaster brake townie! Also adding to the mix, the Dirty Dog Monkey Skull stem that I have had in my "Candy Case" for years now.

Monkey Skull, Pink Accents and Coaster Brake Crusin' along!

A couple of parts saved from her black and green machine, but mostly starting over from scratch on this one.

And it has full bar spin clearance as well.

Just a reminder that the ever popular fixed gear freestyle frame designs are not limited to the tricksters. They can still be fun versatile city cruisers. Which is really the goal in the first place isn't it?

I think Soap really digs it, I hope Summer does too. Ride safe and don't forget your helmet!

Sweatin' Up Water Street!

The Sweathogs still at it all summer long! The makeshift ramp down at Water St. getting a real workout this week.

Tony Fast getting some BOOST and making his mark on the wall.

And Jesse just always has the most interesting faces.

It has been hot in the city, and the Sweathogs have been tearing it up all over town! Everybody getting sleazy. Great job on the edit Drew, thanks for the spot @ 2:21.

OMG! What have I done?

Apparently I put the wrong wheels on the Thrasher, 26" Sun MTX 33 rims with Panaracer RIBMO 26x2 tires. And it actually rides pretty nice! The bottom bracket is so high on the Thrasher with the Fu Manchu that it is still a decent 11.5" sitting on 26's. The chain was able to shorten up a whole link making the rear wheelbase even tighter. I'm going to have to give a full report after I ride a bit, and interesting experiment for me...

Shark Week Trick Jam @ Water Street

Shark Week has been reeking havoc all over Philly once again, last night at Water Street was no exception. Drew got worked pretty hard by his handle bars, and Soap got impaled by the fence.

Apparently the fence was none too pleased to have Soap hitting it, so it bit back. Once again he went big and won the main prize.

Here is Soap again hitting the kicker for some BIG AIR!

More Gary Photos, and lots more on his Flikr

Drew got his head chopped off but getting way up over the kicker.

Philly has been jammin for the past couple of weeks, it has been too much fun. Hard to believe how much has happened since last year's Shark Week Trick Competition.

That's gonna leave a mark!

Bike Jerk!

We had another very "special" visitor this week, Jeff from Bike Jerks and ALL CITY! We rendezvoused in NYC for the Bike Film Fest, more about that later, and then he rolled back with me to Philly.

He had never been to Philly and wanted to check out the scene and visit the shop.

His Dropout received an honorary BRevs seal of approval.

And then I found this in his goodie bag when I was packing up his bike to ship home. Some fancy new premium ALL CITY double straps. Laminated and stitched for super stiffness. These will be a nice affordable alternative to the other premium double straps.

Good times were had, beers drank and bikes ridden.

Eric has been documenting the shenanigans down at Water St. for several weeks, I think his interview with JP pretty much sums it up...

What's that?

This is the new SE: Us Vs Them Fixed Gear Freestyle Frame!

Come down and check it out while it is here.

Gus's SE Prototype

As I mentioned previously, a whole crew was making their way from Texas to NYC and stopped by for a visit yesterday. Gus Molina was riding his new SE: UsVsThem prototype. So I grabbed a couple of quick pics to share.

That is one BIG ASS bike for one HEALTHY DUDE. He was definitely giving it a workout last night at FDR.

Don't Mess With Texas

So the Cultur Club rolled through yesterday, not Boy George and posse but the misfit bike road trip making their way from Texas to NYC for the Bicycle Film Festival.

And as ambassadors for the city of Brotherly Love, some of the Sweathogs were showing them around.

This ragtag crew was rolling deep, can't imagine what their van smells like.

Not a bad pile of bikes, I think there is at least one of everything in there.

Including Gus Molina's prototype SE: UsVsThem, more on that later.

Welcome to PHILLY guys! There was a sweet late nite session at FDR complete with generators, it was out of control. More from Lockedcog HERE. Enjoy more riding today and see y'all in NYC.
