Speaking of Cutters, Chris with Volume just dropped a bike check on his 2010 Volume Cutter V5 build! Chris is good at talking on camera so I really enjoyed his breakdown and reasons for why he runs the things he does. Great top tube pad too.

New Volume Cutter Patina Colorway
Volume just upped a beautiful new Patina colorway for the classic Volume Cutter frame! While I’ve not been loving all the special edition colorways they’ve been dropping (splatter isn’t my thing), I think this is easily their best special edition colorway yet. I love rusty looking bikes so this is a great gritty choice. More details here!

Ruff Vegas Trip – Ditch Session
After SMC 7 last year, I went on a spontaneous trip to Vegas with the Ruff team along with Fixated’s Ritchie and Youri. It was chaotic and I paid the price at work after the trip, but it was so much fun and we got a lot of cool clips.
We went to this famous ditch spot (which we all were also at about 10 years ago), got some clips, and snapped some flicks!
