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!

Philly Bike Expo, Saturday October 30th Trick Jam!

As seen on PINP, we are organizing a Fixed Gear Trick Jam (not contest) on Saturday October 30th at 1pm, and hopefully a second session at 3pm. As our small contribution to the Philly Bike Expo.

Lots of stuff happening all weekend, including the swapmeet on Sunday. We are cleaning out some oldies but goodies, be sure to get there early!

New Goodies From Brooks

Still sifting through photos from the Inter-Bike trade show. Here are some lovely new offerings from Brooks that we will be receiving in a few weeks hopefully.

Candy colored Colt saddles, they are also doing an assortment of B-17's in colors this year.

Here are the "Organic Leather" saddles, new vegetable oil treatment for the saddles. They definitely have a unique look, wonder if they will feel any different?

Here is a close shot of the Navy B-17, very classy!

So excited to be getting in the newest goodies, keep posted for a mid november arrival. If you can imagine how big my Brooks order is this year, so many new and improved products, I had to get at least one of each...

This is what payday looks like...

Affinity 212: My "Casual" Road Bike

I have been itching for a new roadbike ever since I saw the Affinity 212 at Interbike last year. My goal was to put something together that was clean and classic yet simple, a go anywhere roadie. I have had some goodies stockpiled away, so while it may seem a bit chaotic, it is all very intentional. Here it is...

Drop Bars, Classic Regal saddle (Ti Rails), MKS pedals/clips/straps (atacs for longer rides)

The drivetrain is where it gets weird (awesome). Suntour XC Expert rear derailleur, 8 speed 11-30 cassette with a Campagnolo Centaur UT compact crankset. A nice versatile widerange double.

And yes, downtube friction shifters! Dia Compe/Rivendell with nice wratcheting action. Got the Velo-Orange Grand Cru sealed bearing chrome headset, very smooth.

Cockpit is Nitto Noodle bar, Cinelli stem and SRAM levers.

The sparkle in the paint is amazing in the sunlight. Nice work on this one Jason.

Looking forward to 70f weather tomorrow and a nice spin, who knows where I will end up, really doesnt matter. See you there.

Ian Au Naturale! (Ian and his Nature Boy you pervs!)

Our beloved Ian has been getting in touch with nature, the All-City Nature Boy to be more precise. Making a few changes to the cockpit and a recent upgrade to the crankset, and he is loving it.

Here he is rockin' out in the mud at the Hillbilly Hustle a couple of weeks ago. Check out more pics at Cycling Captured.
