Bike Check
Bike Check – Kyle Kelley’s LaMarche PMW Track Bike!
We’ve got a very special bike check on the blog today. For starters, Kyle Kelley is a legend in the Fixed Gear and cycling community. From the Trackosaurusrex blog to Golden Saddle Cyclery to the current Allez LA shop, Kyle has played such a big role in promoting and shaping cycling culture in LA and beyond. That being said, Kyle had a custom bike made by another Fixed Gear legend by the name of Tom La Marche with Lamarche Bike Co.
Kyle has lots to say about this bike, so I’ll let him take it from here. Full gallery and writeup after the jump!
Bike Check – JBall’s Black Ruff Glimmer
Recently I built up a fresh Ruff Glimmer frame in a rare color choice for me… black! Although the only reason I did this was because they were sold out of raw at the time, I ended up being really happy with how the build turned out. I’ve had a black Ruff before but wasn’t in love with how that bike looked. Why do I like my black build now though?
I think the black fork, proto bars, and chrome details are really helping me love my current bike. Full rundown after the jump!
Mongoose Maurice Build
Daniel O’Callaghan aka Documeant out of Australia builds up what seems like his first FGFS build and even learns a fish and chips afterwards! If you’re in Australia, hit our boy up to ride.
FOAD – 84Kick Bike Check
Satoshi gives a breakdown on his old V1 Courttek from when he was in town in 2024. How can you not love this OG!
FGFS Mission
Taking a cruise with Rob on his Crew Defender!
Roy Taipei Bike Check
Roy out of Taipei running down his Durcus One 2024. Wish I could actually see the bike. Cool to see some riders out in Taipei though!
Bike Check – Lucas “Pizza Mayne” Petruzzelli
Today the Pizza Mayne gives us the rundown on his Ruff Glimmer 26″ FGFS build accompanied by some park clips! Guest clips by Statik, Chase, and myself. Pizza went in for this one!!
Louis Trognon – Bike Checks
Two bike checks coming from Louis! Both on Pride Street bikes but one on 700c and the other has a 650b setup. The 650b actually looks really good on a 700c frame! Nice tricks at the end of both of these too. Been saying this, but Louis is quickly rising the ranks on my fav riders list.
Louis Trognon – Radio Bombtrack Bike Check + Riding
Remember the name Louis Trognon. Louis is the future and the truth.
Louis goes over his rare 2012 26″ Radio Bombtrack build then shreds some serious flat ground on it. It’s suuuper rare to see someone riding a 26″ build like its a 700c Trick Track build, but here Louis is doing some mind melting tricks on a vintage bike. That last line is ridiculous. I kept thinking he was getting greedy but he kept pulling tricks off.
