New Winter Kit
1I went for my first winter ride last week. I was kitted with arm warmers and leg warmers but it was cold, so cold I had to bail after three laps of the park. I needed winter kit badly. Really I should invest in a gilet first but the temperature in the mornings here has dropped so much and I’m a pretty skinny guy I’ve picked up a jacket, tights and winter gloves. I think the jacket with a jersey and maybe a base layer will be a good combination for my size. I will need toe covers but couldn’t find any plain black ones yet. Check out what I got so far.

Building the Team Radio Shack Trek Madone
1Love it or loathe the design of this bike. It’s always interesting to see how stuff gets put together.
Check this video of Lance Armstrong’s Team Radioshack Trek Madone being decaled.

Gold Sprints
2Around 9.30 on Saturday I got to Jones St, Ultimo to find the warehouse where the Sydney Bicycle Film Festival Gold Sprints were to be held. I could not see anybody around but the gate to the delivery dock was open. Kirk and his friend turned up in a taxi and we walked in and around the storage area of this warehouse for a bit. It was a little spooky that it was all open. We later found the sprints down the road a bit. Some technical drama delayed the start of the sprints but then they were off and so were the clothes. Josh, one of the co-organisers was rocking some fruit patterned lycra (someone send us a photo to put up please) and the girls from Three Point Turnz made an entrance with their bicycle bells and baskets. Thanks to Michael Prechtl for taking some photos.

An interview with Francesco Bertelli
3Francesco Bertelli is the guy behind the beautiful bicycles on bertellibici.com. Matt sent me his site a couple of months ago. Wow, we were impressed, not only by the bicycles but by his choice of locations to photograph them - backgrounds that match the colours of the bikes perfectly. Francesco submitted a couple of his builds to the site, Performa Brakeless and Domenica. We wanted to know more, so we asked Francesco some questions.

Top 10 (+1) Cycling Brand Logos
12I know there are a lot of designers in the Boutique Cycles community, so I thought i would construct a Top ten list of inspirational cycling logos. These logo’s are my personal favs, i know Cameron and Matt will have there own take too. It would be good to get some feedback and see what other people like too. The logo’s are not necessarily reflective of how good the product or the overall brand is, but normally a good logo is the foundation of a good brand as we all know. There are so many good ones it was really hard to choose, so hard i had to put in 11 not 10! Anyhow here goes…

It’s time for a road bike
11I never thought I would become a road cyclist but living in the city it’s the most accessible form of the sport. I finally sold my old urban street bike today to add to the kitty for the new bike. Now it is decision time. Ultimately I would like a steel or titanium bike but I don’t have the money to drop on an Independent Fabrication Crown Jewel or a Litespeed. Carbon would be nice but I still don’t like the idea of it and the chances of it cracking (but that’s a myth right). So I am set at the moment of getting a modern aluminum racing bike.
