Fixated Paris Trip

Youri and Crispy made it out to Paris to meet up with Ismael, Antoine, and friends to rip up the city and shred some bikes! I love seeing different scenes link up together. Youri and Ismael’s riding really compliment each other well. Possibly the two best on an FGFS bike east of the Atlantic? Wish this video was 5 minutes longer, so I’ll be watching it multiple times to enjoy.

Volume + Resist 2023 Line Available Now!

This might be old news to some of you, but I wanted to wait till I got some c r i s p y pictures of all the new products. The 2023 Volume + Resist line is HERE. A lot of us have been dreaming for this day to come and I actually still can’t believe it’s here.

Available on this first (and certainly not the last) drop are Thrasher frames, Cutter frames, Resist pivotal saddles, seatposts, seatclamps, and tires. The purple Thrasher and white Cutter are available at any of your local bike shops who carry Volume products while the gold Cutter and pink Thrasher are exclusively available on the Volume / Resist website. Only 15 of each size were made in the website exclusive colors.

These dudes were nice enough to shoot me a Thrasher frame so look out for my build with that soon. In the meantime you can grab some items from this drop on the Resist website HERE
