Pisto Love From Osaka: Trick Heads Trailer
Osaka representing.
And it's the first time I've seen a Fakie Wheelie...?!?
Cinelli Hairnet Helmets / Super Hot Fixie Hipster Hats Are Back Again!
Some time ago I wrote how Mario's Cycling Parts Online Shop had some really hip old school Cinelli leather hairnet cycling helmets AKA 'Ultimate Fixie Hipster Head Accessories' for sale on Ebay but there weren't too many of them and or course they were soon all sold out.
But apparently Mario has been digging into his endless stash again, and just look at the picture below to see what he found. Whoah! Now pretty much everyone can have one, and in even funkier colors too.

Nike Dunk Gyrizo SPD BMX Shoes
“Looks like a dunk, but acts like Lance’s cleat.”
"That statement sums up the power and impact of the Nike Dunk Gyrizo, a shoe specifically designed for BMX racing. The Gyrizo, which is Greek for wheel, is actually built on the same cycling last as Lance Armstrong’s cleat. The external portion of the shoe looks like Nike’s wildly popular Dunk model, but the design of the internal plate transfers power in the up and down strokes of the rider. A strap on the upper and a lace pocket keep laces out of the rider’s spokes while a durable outsole compound was integrated to accommodate a wider bike pedal. Kevlar lace and metal grommets are also used to maximize durability. Rubber and thinner midsole on the shoe allow a rider to walk easily before and after races.
The outcome is a shoe that does not only look good, but is functional at the same time, and more you cannot ask for. We also hear rumors, that the design of the shoe has been done by TET of WTAPS."
Sneakers for clipless fixie riders finally? I think not.

Japanese Edition Bianchi Pista
Japanese version of the Bianchi Pista looks mighty different from the ones sold over here in the west. Better fork with proper crown, nice colors too. The Deep Vs on the green one are not stock though. Also, the geometry looks quite a bit different too.
Trek District 2008
Remember the strange belt-drive bike that stirred some discussion here?
Well, check out the pic above, it's apparently the Trek District 2008 single speed bike (or maybe actually a geared bike with internal shifting hub?). And with what seems like a belt drive instead of the traditional steel chain. Here we go then.
