Return of the "Cannondale Tarck 1000"


It's not April Fools Day, or is it? From Prolly's:

"I know I am always saying "steel is real" but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to work with Cannondale USA on the return of their beloved track bike. A few months back, the PR&D team hit me up, asking what they should do for their 2012 line since their current models weren't selling. I told them to go back to their roots and pick up where the mid-90's track bikes left off. After a lot of back and forth about how to make these bikes "hip" enough to sell at high-end track bike boutique shops, we came to a consensus. Available in three limited edition colorways, the Cannondale Tarck 100 is slated for release early 2012. Now you don't have to pay top dollar for 20 year old, fatigued aluminum!"

Also, holy seat angle, Batman...

Liberati Pursuit Pista & Olympia Pista


I've just been offered these two extremely lovely Italian framesets directly from Italy but cannot justify either of them, unfortunately. Liberati (size "53") comes with the pictured parts as well as a second drilled-for-brakes 650 forks and some Campagnolo cranks too. If you're interested, send me an email and I will send back the contact details of the seller. There are plenty more photos and I believe worldwide shipping can be arranged.

All right, both frames are apparently now sold. Congratulations for the new owners.

La retardo vuelta de Puente Nuevo – The Movie


La retardo vuelta de Puente Nuevo – The Movie from Martin Lang on Vimeo.

"La retardo or “Retarden” is a bikerace for one geared bikes. The race is arranged once a year by different clubs on different locations in Sweden. This year it was the sixth year and the NIEUWEBRUG FIETS-CLUB with Lukas and Magnus that was holding the rally flag. And they did that like no other. 120km trough the woods of Småland. Almost 50 people showed up and fought for there lives. A day full of Hornet attacks, crashes and people that got lost in the woods."

Devan!
