münster fixed gear – radkultur extraordinaire

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!

But you should be quick, only 50 will be made. Full custom and build from Columbus Aero Tubing. $1399! So drop him a line, if you are ready for this beast.
Check our his blog for more information or add him on facebook.

Still not sure?
Check out more pictures, after the jump.

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.

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.
