Inside The Box!

So, you may recall a mysterious post a little while ago. Phil Wood finally released their Japan Relief Hubs. A set of super sexy track hubs, doing a small part to help those affected by the earthquake, resulting tsunami and meltdown on March 11 2011. The hubs etched with cherry blossoms, a traditional symbol of the beauty and fragility of our own mortality. Keeping our Japanese friends in our hearts and minds while they deal with massive tragedy.

What's inside?

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.

2011 Cinelli Vigorelli Framesets Are In!

Even thought there is snow and ice on the ground, hot new products keep rolling through the door. Just received our first order of 2011 Cinelli Frames, and the new Vigorelli is looking great. Not typically my style, but I am talking myself out of "needing" one of these for my personal fleet. So do me a favor, come on down and let me build one for you so I can spend some of this creative energy on it. Thank you.

You can find some more info HERE. Not up to date with the new color, but you get the idea. Now selling for $850!

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.

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!

New Wheels For My Big Block!

Posted my initial build for this back in August, finally got around to building the proper wheels for it this week. Jeffey from All-City got me some New Sheriff hubs, and I laced em up to the Velo-Orange PBP rims.

I had some fun with the front wheel, lacing it three leading/ three trailing (36h)

And a nice traditional three cross for the rear. Bike is all "finished" now, some fresh New-Xpress tires (700c x 28mm) in the new Green/Skin color.

Ready for the House Party Cat 3D, maybe...

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!

Just a teaser until we return from the Catskills!

Travis' new Cinelli MASH! Thanks for letting me put this together for you. More pics after we get back from our holiday shenanigans.
