PC x LEADER Bikes Collaboration

Badge!
There is something going on. Patrick from pedalconsumption.com is busy with collaborations, but this one will stand out. Over one year of working and planning…
High quality 7005-T6 aluminum tubing, integrated headset, rear dropouts feature double-sided mirrored hangers, gunmetal paint with sparkle, carbon fork with aluminium steerer and of course a lo-pro geometry. 700c/700c!
Sounds pretty nice and I can’t wait to see some more views and of course a release date!

AH310 – a new view at custom cycling caps

The history of a t-shirt, daily impressions and aspirations associated with, its ability of communication, make it to a memorable piece which often you cannot seperate from, even when it is worn out and unfitting.

Project #1 refers to the desire of retaining a part of this individual past.

Central point is the concept of giving a former… favourite t-shirt a new gain as a cap and thus taking up the contemporary dialogue between wearer and observer.

It is essential for AH310 to preserve the authenticity of the classic, simple shape/design of a t-shirt and the intimate, casual sensation of comfortable and practical wear.

Each cap is unique, custom-made and coded within a limited edition from AH01 to AH99. A direct connection between the caps succeeds through the reverse side of the shield. Composed of the prior t-shirt, it gives continuity to a fragment of memory.

40€ for one cap, 70€ for two caps. Handmade in Karlsruhe.

SWRVE – Wax Riding Jacket!

front

It’s no secret, I love SWRVE. High quality handmade cycling apparel. Unique and affordable gear for bike enthusiasts. I’m always down when it comes to technical gear. If you read this blog regularly, then you might noticed that I’m a bit lazy in posting stuff…I’m really sorry for this, i’ll try my best to keep this thin here updated… but what i wanted to say. I’m really into technical gear, you might noticed the many bag entries and also I’m really into jackets and apparel that makes riding or life in general easier. The guys at SWRVE seem to think the same and so they released a lot great stuff and recently they finally put up their new Wax Riding Jacket. Waxed Cotton is not really hi-tech stuff, but classic and it simply works. That’s it. It is loaded with features Pit Zips, a lot pockets, longer back, longer arms, waterproof YKK Zipper and many more. Sadly I don’t had he chance to get my hands on one of these Jackets to test it myself, but Kyle from Tracko had the chance to check out this Jacket on a ride with photographer Omar Ogues. He took some really stunning shots of this jacket. Really impressiv and I think it is visible that this jacket is really well-made and of course well-thought-out. Check out some pictures after the jump or at Omar Ogues Flickr Set.
If you want this Jacket, be quick and head over to SWRVE. It’s worth the price.

We all know it. Our obsession is the great feeling of riding a fast bike and of course the bike as piece of art. Most of us can talk and watch beautiful frames or bikes for hours. For me, this frame is a example and also a piece of art. Adam, the man behind Stanridge Speed Bicycles, did a great job on this pursuit machine. The frame is available from now on!

TRASH Messenger Bags – Hip Pack.

Some month ago I wrote something about Trash Messenger Bags. While I talked to Andy, who is running this small business, he made one of his Hip Packs (the “Wastebasket 2″)for me. I got it in the mail, some days ago and i’m really impressed. Doing bags isn’t magic, but there are always small details that make each bag unique. So Trash Messenger Bags are experimenting with colors and also their Logo details are great. The quality is pretty solid. They only use the best materials, solid stitching and also give a lifetime warranty. Also you can fit a lot stuff in the bag, wear it as a hip bag or over your shoulder. It also carries your u-lock and so you are good to go in every situation, where no large messenger bags or backpacks are needed. Check out the pictures to get a idea and also check out Trash Messenger Bags and get yourself a unique bag.
