Tyrant Bikes, owned by former Leader owner Sal Sambroso, was kind enough to send a Tyrant Legacy steel frame our way to build up, ride, and talk about. Gallery of the build and some additional thoughts after the jump!
The Ruff Sleeper is no more. Ruff Bike Co. head honcho Jacob Ruff gives us a rundown on his final Sleeper build. Although he’s currently on a different, new bike (new name is set, but confidential), it’s still worth giving the rundown on his previous build cause it was a good one. Full gallery, rundown, and words from Jacob after the jump!
YOUKNOWWHATSGOOD! Today we talk to Congo about his extensive history and influence in the Fixed Gear scene, with some great stories sprinkled in. Wide man coming through!
Today is our homie Michael’s BDay! Which reminded me that I had these unposted pictures of him hitting an ice stall on this small barrier. Go wish him a happy birthday and go rewatch his CJTY part here.
During the Suck My Comp 6 weekend I had the pleasure of finally meeting one of the only FGFS riders in Taiwan, Hislow. I pulled him aside during a session and asked to shoot some pics of him and his Jimmy Watcha Master build, and he didn’t disappoint. Absolute star. Full photoset after the jump.
Today we have the pleasure to release our newest episode with the #2 ranked Woman FGFS rider in the world and the first woman to join our show, Devan Gallagher! With a deep history in the sport and huge determination to progress, Devan is truly an inspiration on the bike with great stories and memories to share. Enjoy!
The prototype Volume stem I’ve been rocking is now available! Really unique design on this that I’ve been loving. No slippage and no problems either. Here are the details from Volume:
“New for 2024 the Velocity Top Load Stem.
6061 CNC stem that features extensive external & internal CNC cuts to reduce weight, a wider 44 mm clamping area, chamfered and rounded edges plus a ø32 mm recessed compression bolt cutout.
The stem also features an aero dynamic forward “V” shape with external machining on the sides to go with the flow.”
Grab one here!
Today we introduce the “There Will Never Be Another” mini documentary series! We kick off the series with one of the most deserving riders in Fixed Gear history to look back on, Tom La Marche. A name that still resonates throughout the scene, Tom’s history and accomplishments on a Fixed Gear bike are nothing short of monumental. Hope you enjoy and let me know which rider I should cover next.
