AURORA stickers just look good on bikes, your fridge or diskwheels… Cheers to Nils from Hannover, by the way one of the organizers of the Maikätzchen Alleycat 2010!

Besides, one question: who wants to play polo in Münster?

Suicycle loves you…

phlpp — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 18:59:34 +0000

…we from msfixed love Suicycle! So check out their online store to see what sexy goodies the Hamburg based shop has in store for you. How about a handbuilt suicycle track-frame from Hamburg’s no. 1 framebuilder Hagen Wechsel, for example? Or a Giant track-frame from Eric Zabel’s former framepool? There should be something in stock for any enthusiast of individually built fixed gear and road bikes.

There’ll be some special offers in the next weeks, so better be quick!
The webshop just has a few things up, if you are searching for something feel free to drop a line and they will get everything you need.

And whenever you are in Hamburg, don’t miss to visit the shop in the heart of the beautiful St. Pauli, at Wohlwillstraße 12.

St. Paulopoly IX 2010: visiting the suicycle store.

Was checking out the Suicycle Store some hours ago. Meet some nice peeps from Amsterdam and the States, all really curious for the race in the evening. Meier from the Suicycle guys was there and showed some of their goods. The Suicycle frames are really hot…

Check out some impressions of Hamburg with to much ice and snow and of course some shop pictures.
Just to mention, yesterday around 8p.m. there was no snow or ice… the race is going to be really interesting.
