We’ve been riding with Jacob for a long time now (He had a section in our first full length video Young Guns in 2014). While he’s gone through periods of disappearing, he’s been riding pretty often lately and it’s been great to see him more consistently. Here’s some flicks of him from last Saturday showing off his current Capone build that he painted himself. Impressive paint job in my opinion. Full set + bike check after the jump!
El Fakijoe just posted up an interview / bike check of Jackson Bradshaw and his MASH build while he was in Paris last week. Check it out here!
I recently built up my young self’s 2010 mid school FGFS dream bike: the Volume Thrasher V1. Deacon and Pizza joined me to help build it up and then we went to film some tricks at the local parking lot. Hope you enjoy this video as much as I’m enjoying this bike! (Probably not)
Although the frame came out in 2010, Deacon managed to find a BRAND NEW Volume Cutter V5 in the wild and snagged it for himself. He decided to celebrate this monumental fixie achievement by building it up with 100% brand new parts and let me say, the result is absolutely beautiful. Look out for some content of Deacon riding this bad boy soon and click read more to see the whole gallery!
If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll have noticed that the whole Ruff team mysteriously switched over to some new black frames that nobody has said anything about. Well me being the fixie journalist that I am, I am here to BREAK THE SILENCE AND BE THE WHISTLEBLOWER THAT YOU DESERVE! BIG FIXIE DOESN’T WANT YOU TO HEAR ABOUT THIS.
Jk, they’re just some new prototypes that we’ve all been testing out. What’s different? Tighter geometry and less weight mostly. Maybe some other technical jargon that I’m not sure about. I can confidently say this geometry is the best I’ve felt though and I’m excited for productions to run on them some day (who knows with the way production is these days). Anyways, here’s some pics of my bike I snagged while out in Atlanta, when it still looked new (ish).
More photos after the jump!
Slum stole his buddies bike and decided to shred it and talk about it. Nice!
It’s been a while since I’ve had a track bike that I was stoked on. I’ve had this LD Labs frame built up for a while, but I wasn’t too hyped on the way it was set up and didn’t enjoy the way it felt. Finally though, I decided to put some time and $$$ into it to finally get it the way I envisioned. Also waiting 6 months for some Omniums on Ebay cause the fucker wouldn’t send the cranks didn’t help with getting this project finished, but alas! I present to you: my LD Labs dream build. (More photos + specs after the jump)
