Broken Surly Fixxer



Aki's broken Surly Fixxer.



And remember that other case with a Fixxer?

A Classic: NO BRAKES!



Oldie, but certainly a goldie. Plenty of people out there ride their phixy bikes 'brakeless'. But 'Kamikaze bicyclist and DJ Ted Shred' was always on a truly next level...

Bikes Direct Presents: 'Pro Level Track Bike'



Bikes Direct is - finally - getting out their 'Pro Level Track Bike'.

Aluminum frame from Taiwan with that magical recess for the rear wheel in the seat tube like Pista Concept and all. Carbon fork, of course, and the bike will eventually be available as a complete with some Dura-Ace Track(!) parts, or just as a frame set.

But hey, why does it look some much like the Fuji Track Comp? Or Masi Coltello? Maybe because it's basically the same bike, and made in the same factory? Ok, they're made from different AL tubing but still.

Anyhow, if you're interested, there's more info and a pre-order with a lower price going on HERE now.

Olmo Pista Rides Again



I've posted lots of pics of broken bikes and components lately.

Now here's something bit more posivite for a little change: Zjeim's Olmo Pista's broken fastback seatstay cluster brazed back to life by Santtu_T. Let's hope it holds together now, gotta remember thought that the Olmo is already second Italian vintage steel track frame Zjeim rides to ruin, and he's not even a messenger or anything like that...
