FOAD recently dropped their new clothing collection featuring 3 versions of a similar design: streets, hills, and dirt. Two of the hoodies are sold out already but the rest is there so snag a discipline of your choice while you can here!
I also regret to inform you that Jackson has been decapitated. Rip dude
Biking in the snow looks fun, I wanna be friends with these guys. Also good music choices.
More SMC 8 content for your eye holes! Today we’ve got the AMs from Trick Track day 2. We had 19 competitors this year for the AM division, so cool to see so many people come out and show what they got!
Up next for the recaps will be the women’s division. Stay tuned for that!
Posted up this line from 2008 of Tyler Johnson onto the archive yesterday and wanted to boost it a little more. For Tyler to have this kind of bike control on a full blown track bike 17 years ago is just other worldly. Tyler may be somewhat distanced from Fixed Gear these days, but don’t ever forget what an enigma and prodigy this guy was / is on a bike!
Shredding the streets out in the Philippines.
Jackson is back from his hiatus to give us an appropriately timed long term Courttek review! He goes over what he’s liked about the Courttek over his last 2 years riding it and gives some insight into the new Courttek V2 drop!
Fixed superstar Mathi Deythos just dropped this nice video detailing his love for the highly sought after Cannondale track alongside some snippets of his summer in Paris. I like hearing him talk and enjoy the things he has to say.
I finally acquired my holy grail bike, the Bianchi Pista Concept 2004. After getting it built up in my garage, I met up with Pizza and Deacon to ride to the beach and get a little flat ground session in and break in the build. 2009 me would be proud! Full res photos of the build to come soon. Enjoy!
Some of the worst things I’ve ever read. Today we respond to the community’s Fixie hot takes. Enjoy!
