Tyrant Bikes, owned by former Leader owner Sal Sambroso, was kind enough to send a Tyrant Legacy steel frame our way to build up, ride, and talk about. Gallery of the build and some additional thoughts after the jump!
FOAD just put out a great one for the track bike enjoyers! In this one Jackson gives an extremely thorough comparison of Gatorskin, Vittoria, and Thickslick tires. Super interesting watch and informative!
I think this is the first real review I’ve seen of the Mash Reyes frame. Jackson put in a year of work to compile his official opinion about the frame. Super insightful, well worth a watch! (Even if you arent in the market for the Slum frame)
Royal HC has been quiet over the past few months, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been working on new projects and designs. Here he introduces to you the brand new “Euclid” backpack. Lightweight, sturdy, and stylish, making for a perfect school bag or any other kind of bag you desire! Remember that even though the bag looks a bit bulky in the photos, the picture is taken with the bag completely filled inside.
Here’s what Royal had to say about the bags:
“Our designs have gotten better. As I spend more time making new designs I am incorporating the little touches I find nice in a bag as well as simplicity refined. It features full a full Nylon construction with 1000D Cordura as our fabric of choice. Cordura is tried and true and will never let you down. The bottom of this bag is double layered Cordura for added strength and structure.”
Specs:
Size: 17″ tall x 13″ wide x 7″ deep

The Can’t Fool The Youth series has become a staple in the FGFS scene, and people can always count on it to feature great riders with killer variety and content. The 3rd edition to this series is finished and has been premiering around the world the past couple months. The first premiere in San Francisco was extremely last minute, but still managed to pull in a big audience. The next premiere in Thailand was a huge success. Loads of people from all across Thailand ventured to the premiere and judging be the responses, got people really stoked. The premiere in LA recently was also a success with a great turn out. It was the first time the DVD/Book was available for purchase and over 30 DVD’s sold. Now, onto the DVD.
As I’ve started attending Cal State Long Beach this school year, trips to my favorite shop, The Workshop, have been more frequent. The shop is situated in the tight knit community of Bixby Knolls, one of the nicer areas of Long Beach.
I recently had All-City‘s backpack, The Captain Phil, sent to me and i gotta say how reliable and handy it really is. As a 29er guy, i get plenty of flats. I’m able to carry my full size pump easily, because i hate those small pumps way too damn much. That, along with my camera equipment, tubes, tools, wallet, and 2 powerades, with plenty of room to spare. Its got multiple sections in the main compartment along with plenty of little pockets and pouches for whatever you desire. The outside is waterproof, the inside is cooler material, and it’s pretty much useful for whatever you need like camping, traveling, biking, or school. I must say it’s one of the most comfortable backpacks too! I’m very stoked on it and i take it with me every time i bike. All-City rules!
