There are a lot frames out there today. Some are nice classic road frames to convert to a fixed gear, some too expensive collector track frames, a lot ugly modern sloping frames or too much cheap frames from faceless factories.
Personally I really like a story behind something, when i build up a bike I nearly can tell you a short story about most of the parts I used. For me this is part of the game and also excitement.
Some days ago I was thrilled as I stumbled upon the website of Pelizzoli.
This is pure cycling history, dedicated from the heart.
Giovanni Pelizzoli used to race in his young days, learned how to weld and build frames and soon started to built his own frames.

The SPOKE Magazine #4 is out for some time now, but due to a lot of work i didn’t had the chance to put up some impressions of it.
I’m not sure why it is marked #4, but the good guys @SPOKE know what they do. This issue looks even better than the previous one. Featuring a New York City report, the story about “Vamos a la Playa“, Halloween, Belt-Drive and much more. Really worth reading, a much better layout overall and of course a great choice of photography.
Sadly the website isn’t running yet, but they have a facebook page to stay up to date.

Dear track bike enthusiasts,
we are proud to announce the long awaited DVD release of fixed city.
It has been a hell of a ride for us, since we came up with the idea of making a film about the fixed gear phenomenon. A film that captures German fixed gear culture on the crossroad between subculture and mainstream. A film that respectfully connects both worlds. A cycling documentary.
After six months of shooting in different locations throughout Germany and almost two months of editing, we finally celebrated the world premiere in Berlin on September 4th, 2009. Numerous screenings all over the world followed, such as unique events like the Bicycle Film Festival in Vienna, the Velofest in Skopje, Macedonia.
This DVD release is hand-stamped, hand-numbered and strictly limited to 150 copies only.
The DVD contains film (German, 16:9, Stereo, 36′) and trailer (German, 16:9, Stereo, 4’30″) with optional English subtitles.
Price: 9,50 €
Shipping & handling:
2 € – Germany
4 € – Europe
6 € – worldwide
The DVD will be available for shipping starting Monday, December 13th.
This documentary is really worth watching so make sure to get yourself a copy. You can contact those guys via email: info(at)fixedcity.de.

Ever heard of them? Me neither… Got a mail in my mailbox these days with a hint to their new website. The website looks nice and clean and so do the bags. These guys seem to do great work in their studio in Minneapolis. After 8 years of messengering and lot’s of backpacks and messenger bags Andy started to do his own bags. With the knowledge of the messenger needs, he designed his own bags and makes them for more than 2 years now. He still works as a messenger and with help of his friends he runs Trash Bags. They got some good prices on bags, backpacks and also hip bags. Besides this they really look decent. Also they are able to do custom works. Check out the custom gallery for this.
So if you really need a unique quality bag, which is not massproduced and ridden by everyone, you should check them out. Andy is a nice guy and helps you out with every information you need.
Check out their facebook for the latest news…
