BÖIKZMÖIND – A Fixed Gear Bike is… from BÖIKZMÖIND on Vimeo.
BÖIKZMÖIND is a 30 minute documentary film about riding fixed gear bikes
in beautiful Bristol. The film shows the diverse cross section of riders and
asks why ride bikes with no gears in a city full of hills.
Superb is a neat bike store in Boston / USA. They came up with a lot nice stuff so far and when you check out their website, you will see their dedication to the scene and bicycle.
Now they finally released their awaited Alu Track Frame, which seems to be very very nice. And even for us over here in Europe, this frame seems to be a great alternative. Especially the price point looks fair.
Looking at those pictures, i’m really thinking about getting one and built up something new next year. Last bike I built up was sadly too long ago.

Finding a suitable bag is really really hard. No matter if you are a Messenger, a Photographer or Traveller. Maybe you just to need something for all of these activities. Since i’m a photographer i’m always searching for the best bag to fit my needs. At the moment i’m using a LOWEPRO Pro Trekker. Which is awesome, but it is just great to carry all my gear around, use it and then get back home. There is not really room to fit a Macbook, groceries or maybe some Apparel. So when you are on the bike or do day trips, this bag is not really the first choice. Also Chrome released a kind of photobag the last weeks, but i don’t comment on this. So is there a chance to find a bag, which is able to carry gear for a day trip, also got space for parts of the camera equipment, is good to carry on and off bike? There are tons of possibilities and a endless list of companies who tried to built something for this. Most of those bags are boring and to be honest, I really like to have something unique and sometimes those small details are important. Big companies often lose focus on small details and with my individual needs.
To make it short, i discovered “INSIDE LINE EQUIPMENT” from San Francisco. Eric is making technical bags from the view of cyclists. It is not performance roadwear and of course there are no messenger bags in his catalog. But there are enough companies who serve these products. Eric founded “ILE” to produce some really hi-tech backpacks. He uses the industrial standard materials and from the pictures on his website, i would say he got a really new take on this photo bag topic and also seems to have a lot sewing skills. These bags look really well thought and well made.
Would really love to try out his Ultimate Photographers Bag on my next jobs and bike trips. It’s construction looks really simple, but seems to be well thought. The bottom compartment offers space for a camera + lenses + flash and the padding is removable. The side pocket allows to carry a tripod and the top compartment takes a Macbook and also some more stuff. It closes with a waterproof roll-top. The whole bag is waterproof, even the zippers are sealed. I bet there is much more to say about it, but i don’t want to speculate. So i just mention that he also builts normal backpacks, rack bags, accessories and i’ll bet he wil come up with more stuff in the future.
His products are really worth a look, so head over to his website, webshop and support this.
Also check this neat video he made for this Ultimate Photographer Bag.

Andy from TRASH Messenger Bags just sent over their new catalog. You can check it out here. Really worth a look, it’s not just a product presentation. It features different people and their relationship with a TRASH Messenger Bag.
AURORA just dropped a new version of their classic velcro straps. These new velcro straps are named “V2″ and feature a buckle for quick and easy adjustment. Also they are made for platform pedals, so these are perfect for freestyle fixed gear, bike polo and everyone who rides with platform pedals. Until the 1st of september AURORA offers a special price for their new straps. So check out the webshop and get a pair of those beauties.

Finally AURORA dropped their first cycling cap. They are making them for some time now, but didn’t had the time to release them. So here is the first colorway and a new one will follow every month. These caps are limited, so be quick and get one here.
The TBH Frame and Bike configurations are available. Looks pretty nice in my opinion, need to have a closer look on this one coming straight from Marsaille.
