Fyxomatosis: Cinelli SC Neuron

Oh man. It’s time for another classic Cinelli road photo gallery from Fyxomatosis. Make sure you’ve got a napkin handy (for your drool). See the full set here.

Beautiful Bicycle: Ryan’s Hufnagel Road

“I just wanted something simple and white.” That was Ryan’s reply when I mentioned how much I loved his Hufnagel road bike on our ride. I get a lot of people asking to go on rides here in Austin when they visit and I usually take them on a quick 20-30 mile route. The day starts out with “is that all we’re doing?” and ends with “holy shit, these climbs are steep!”. That’s what we did on Monday. 25 miles, 3,100′ of climbing.

Ryan’s Hufnagel is as far as I know, one of three in Texas. Jordan isn’t building bicycles anymore but he made a few for people in Texas when he was and they’re just as nice as his later bikes. With the signature seatstay treatment and his fondness for deep stays, the bikes just scream personality, without being too ostentatious. They’re just tastefully done. An elegant paint job and Campy 11 was exactly what Ryan requested: something simple and white.

Fyxomatosis: Black Record

Anyone can buy a black Campagnolo Record seatpost and get it anodized black but can they then document it as such? As with anything FYXO, expect the utmost of class.

Bishop Bikes: Campagnolo

Even though I’m not the biggest fan of modern Ergopower, I can’t get over how rad this photo is. Chris Bishop’s Flickr is on fire right now, but be forewarned, it might make you wanna spring for a custom Bishop…

Beautiful Bicycle: Defiance Singlespeed

Since meeting the owner of Defiance custom cycles at the Philly Bike Show, I cannot find information about his company for the life of me. All I know is that he’s based out of Long Island and he makes gorgeous frames. Case in point is this ice blue singlespeed. Sure, it looks like a track bike, but the freewheel on the rear even threw me off. Throw a track cog on it and you’ve got a great winter trainer.

The build is lovely (Campagnolo GS cranks really set it off), the color is spot on and I even like the super graphic on the head tube. This one’s a winner. But one question: does anyone know a URL or a contact email for Defiance? In the mean while, check out more photos below.

The Landlords Shrine

Each year, the guys at Landlords always come to the Philly Bike Expo bearing vintage bikes, parts and chill dub vibes. This year, they set up a shrine to the cycling gods and demigods of yesteryear. Check it out!

Love

I don’t have children and yet I understand why parents always have a camera in their kids’ face. It’s love, right?

Bishop Bikes: John’s Classic Fixed Gear

I have been watching this bike from tube selection to filing and all I can say is wow. Chris Bishop‘s work is impeccible and Bryan Myers at Fresh Frame‘s paint is spot-on. Every detail on this is perfect. See more here.

Fyxomatosis: Salvation Jane

As winter approaches here in the States, Australia braces for summer. Who better to ring in the warmth than FYXO?

Merckx Mondays

See larger here

David Lundqvist got ahold of a beautiful Stuttgart pista frameset and built it with all Campagnolo C-Record Pista. I am drooling right now. And no, that’s not my old frame. This one’s in much better condition. It’s been a while since a Merckx Mondays, but I thought this deserved one!

There’s one more gem below.
