Bike Rumor just posted a bunch of spy shots of a 2010 Litespeed carbon bike. A departure from their titanium roots. Love the graphics on the bike, supposedly the model name is “C1”. Check the photos out of the Litespeed C1 after the jump.
Primate Frames is a local Sydney frame builder. He picks some bright colours, check out this frame, Ben’s single/fixed/everything bike ... More photos after the jump.
This is nice, not much info on their site about it. We know it is a custom tig welded steel frame with paint, simple.
From the site:
“We’ve been working together for a while to get this bike lined up with Richard’s vision. The color is BMW metallic space grey (by Dustin Mine). Dedacciai tubing, and a mix of Dura-Ace and NOS 600 components. Watch out for some serious miles on this one!”
More Photos after the jump.
I’ve been liking MASI bikes more and more lately and was stoked to see some of the first shots of their new 2010 bikes. I’ve had my eye on a Speciale 105 and I am stoked to see it in black for 2010. Click through to see some of MASI’s new bikes for 2010.
Candy Cranks has just got some custom hats. They are hand made in Australia by Rocket Fuel, 3 panels for a smoother fit, 100% cotton and one size fits all. They have only done a limited run so if want one get it now here. More images after the jump.
Independent Fabrication just shipped a pair of sexy SSR Rapha frames for the Rapha Racing team in NYC. Frames are painted white, with pink highlights and stainless steel rear ends. More images after the jump.
If you haven’t seen a Cinelli x Mash frame where have you been (hopefully out riding)? First seen as a prototype at Interbike 2008 they are now in production and in stock at shops in the US. I’m not holding my breath on seeing one of them on the streets in Sydney but who knows, we are just waiting for someone to submit one to the site. If you have just built one up please take some nice photos and submit it to the site.
A couple more product shots after the jump.
UPDATE: Sable and Argent are stocking Cinelli X Mash frames
Commencal have launched a microsite to show off their 2010 carbon bikes. Check it out here
Update: Also check out their 2010 Spy Shots
John Prolly posted last week about these new adjustable velcro foot straps that his friend Jeremiah designed named “Hold Fast”. I’ve been looking for something similar for my single speed “urban” mountain bike. I don’t want toe clips or clipless pedals as I normally ride with sneakers and I’m a pretty casual rider (I won’t be caught in lycra for a while). “Hold Fast” remind me of Power Grips but on steroids. They retail for $55 US, I got to get myself a set. Some more pictures after the jump or go straight to the source.
Go get some at Hold Fast.
I have been a mountain biker most my riding life but recently i have been gravitating towards road riding. I guess partly because i have been commuting to work for the last year or so on a fixed gear and partly because i just love the look of the bikes! Shifting from fixed gear to a geared road bike has been like a breath of fresh air. Don’t get me wrong, i love fixed gear bikes but they just aren’t designed for laying down big km’s on the tarmac.
