Bike Check

LD Labs, but with Aerospoke

3 years ago I posted up a bike check of my lovely red LD Labs track bike. Just took some new pics of it with some minor changes including some better looking bars and an Aerospoke. Can’t tell which front wheel I like better, but the Aerospoke is certainly less stressful to ride with.

Introducing – THE LOCKUP

Our good friends at Slow Spin Society unveiled a brand new online bike gallery called The Lockup! If you remember the days of velospace where people from across the globe would upload their cool Fixed Gear builds for all to see, this project is meant to replace that void.

The instructions are simple, just visit this page and follow the instructions from there. Let’s flood the site with some cool FGFS builds!

Jacob Ruff – Putting The Sleeper To Rest

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!

Forkone Bike Check

Been loving these bike checks from Satoshi. In this one we get a look into the elusive Forkone’s Volume Cutter V5 build! Thanks to Satoshi, he put english subtitles on them so we can understand what he’s saying. Many thanks for that.
