All-City Prototype Track Cranks

Finally getting into my photos from Interbike. Jeffey let me check out these proto-cranks. Looking pretty beefcake! Good to see the kids at All-City moving on some new products, stepping up their game a bit.

Outboard bottom bracket bearings, and meaty oversized spindle.

Some nice machining on the back of those arms to keep them light.

And steel, replaceable pedal inserts.
Can't wait to see some production, get to work Jeff!

Black SRAM Omnium Cranks Now In Stock!

Very limited release up until now, but they are finally here! Very possibly the stiffest track racing crank ever produced, now readily available in black.

My All-City Big Block

I always try to build up new frames to ride so that I can give real feedback and show some of non-stock options for custom builds. The All-City Big Block was long overdue for some miles.

I got this one built up just in time for the Rocky 8 race and figured it would be a perfect road test for this street machine.

Choosing some new but classically designed components and using some old faithful wheels to get it rolling.

The IRD Defiant crankset is a perfect nod to the Campy Nuovo Record Pista cranks, solid clean and simple at an affordable price ($160). For comfort and convenience I went with the Eastern PC platform pedal with some RE Load Lockdown Jawns. The Thickslick ($30) tire is by Freedom, WTB's new urban brand, which proved to be a great tire for the day. Great traction and super puncture and pinch resistance.

The Selle Italia Turbo saddle ($60) was super comfy and durable despite all of the rain and thrashing throughout the day. The Velo-Orange seatpost looks great and provides a bit more set back to get you over the back wheel a little more for power in the saddle.

Keeping in the theme of shiny new parts I have the Velo-Orange sealed bearing headset, VO 17 degree Stem and Cromo Deda Velocita handlebars.

The bike is a perfect urban fixed gear with enough versatility to keep you rolling through the winter on some cross tires as well as racing all summer at the velodrome.

I am going to be lacing up some new wheels just for this bike as I have already swapped these onto my new All-City Nature Boy. All-City New Sheriff hubs to Velo-Orange PBP rims, all shiny and silver, I will definitely get some more pics up as soon as I get them done, in my spare time...

Profile Splined Sprockets Are Here!

We finally got a couple splined sprockets from Profile today! 42 teeth in black and...

36 teeth in silver. I have a few 36 teeth coming in black next week. $80 for either size.

Defiant Track Crank

Designed as a replica of the Campagnolo Nuovo Record Track Crank, the IRD Defiant Crank is a clean and classic track crank for everyday use. I love vintage parts for sure, but most of the time they are reserved for special projects as they become more rare and more expensive. I was wondering when somebody would knock off the classic and even make it affordable. The Defiant Track Crank comes in 165, 167.5 and 170mm lengths. It has a 144bcd 46T Chainring, standard for most modern track racing cranksets. For most set ups this will use a 110mm JIS tapered bottom bracket, affordable and commonly available. The cranks are in stock and selling for $160, right now I have only 165mm on hand but will be getting the other sizes as the demand presents itself.
