Awesomest Water Bottles

By Gage & Desoto. And sold out already. Damn.

Triton Titanium

Custom Titamium frame? This is relevant to my interests.

Here's the first(?) custom Ti fg frameset made by the Moscow, Russia, based Triton Bikes maybe better known for their MTB, trials and street frames and it certainly looks pretty interesting. It'd be great to see the frame built up eventually.

Tuuli was a bike messenger!

Who, you ask? Well, Tuuli Petäjä, currently Finland's only Olympic Medalist at the London 2012 games. Silver medal at Women's RS:X Windsurfing. Turns out she used to 'mess some time in mid-2000s, riding for the BikeXpress. And her name actually means 'wind'. Now how awesome is that?
