So Bad It's Good

Yay, back in the olden times when brakes were for fakes, gears for queers, everybody pulled sick skids on Vittoria Randos and none had even heard about cyclocross...

Rev X - F A S T E R !

Thanks to Manninen for this. I know he truly loves his many RevXs.

Watch out!

Bike Orienteering

Last night was the CX Alleycat night in the Keskuspuisto forest but it was in fact much more like traditional orienteering with the added bonus of dragging a bike along in the bushes, if you ask me. 

Quentin, is it you?

Now who would anodize Campagnolo C-Record Pista hubs blue...?

Old Rossin Catalogue Goodness

Couple of interesting Rossin catalogue scans from 1989, provided by Tunturi, the company importing Rossin bikes into Finland back in the day.

The cyclocross model, translated as "OFF-ROAD BIKE" by the way, is something I've never seen before but since it was in the catalogue, it must exist. The hunt is on!

Thanks for Fedja for the scans. See the whole thing here with some road bikes as well.
