Didn’t Expect This – Tom La Marche Sim Works Photoshoot

One of the most influential riders of all time, Tom La Marche, after being away from track bikes for 10+ years, has re-emerged riding a track bike for the latest Sim Works photoshoot advertising their new stem. For those who know, this is massive news! He’s riding his own frameset via Lamarche Bike Co. of course! I wonder if we’ll be seeing more riding from him 🧐

New Volume Cutter Patina Colorway

Volume just upped a beautiful new Patina colorway for the classic Volume Cutter frame! While I’ve not been loving all the special edition colorways they’ve been dropping (splatter isn’t my thing), I think this is easily their best special edition colorway yet. I love rusty looking bikes so this is a great gritty choice. More details here!

Ruff Vegas Trip – Ditch Session

After SMC 7 last year, I went on a spontaneous trip to Vegas with the Ruff team along with Fixated’s Ritchie and Youri. It was chaotic and I paid the price at work after the trip, but it was so much fun and we got a lot of cool clips.

We went to this famous ditch spot (which we all were also at about 10 years ago), got some clips, and snapped some flicks!
