Guest Gallery: Schuler's 7 Eleven by Peter D'Antoni

For anyone that watched cycling in the late 80′s, this bike should look familiar. Before Merckx built the team 7-Eleven frames, Landshark and Serotta had built their fair share of “Huffy” team bikes. On a recent group ride in Milwaukee, Peter from COG Magazine found himself cruising next to Tom Schuler, of 7-Eleven fame. This 1987 National Champ still rides his team bike, which is in perfect condition. It’s hard to imagine someone holding onto a bike for that long in this day and age but when you were a part of a legacy, that’s all the reason you need.

Peter was kind enough to send over some amazing photos of this Serotta-built team 7-Eleven. Check out more below.

COG Magazine: Warszawa Car Smash

I heard this was out of control, but I was not expecting this!

“What started out as a side event of “Side View Mirror Kick” at the 2011 CMWC in Warsaw Poland, quickly evolved into an all out free-for-all destruction session initiated by Von Munz of Milwaukee, WI.

Fyxation: 2012 Handlebar Collection Facebook Giveaway

Fyxation is on the move with yet another contest. This time, all you’ve gotta do is “like” their Facebook page to win one of their handlebar setups for 2012. Personally, I dig this flipped Alterra Cafe bar and yes, the photo has a little to do with it. Nice shot Pete!

Flavor Cycle: Food Delivery in Milwaukee

Snap! Delivery in Brooklyn really started a chain reaction in how bicycle-powered food delivery companies can work. When Alex moved to SF, he spawned TCB Courier and now, in Milwaukee, Kevin and Peter from COG Magazine have started Flavor Cycle. We all know this is far from easy to achieve and I wish these guys the best of luck. If you’re in Milwaukee and work in their delivery zone, make sure you help these guys out! Thanks for the heads Earl!

Save the Bike Messenger!

Kevin from COG emailed this over. Back in May of 2010, he made some buttons with the above copy, inspired by Tracko’s STTB campaign. Now, there are tee’s for sale at Ink to the People. Swoop one here for $15.

COG Magazine: Milwaukee Pedal Pushers

COG Magazine posted this earlier today and all I could think is how rad it is to see a group of girls all riding different bikes. Every town has a ladies ride and these girls are the Milwaukee Pedal Pushers.

Fyxation 2012 Video

Here’s a new video from Fyxation:

“The video is entirely composed of still photographs shot over two days in the studio and one day on the streets by Peter Diantoni of COG Magazine. Meticulous set up and lighting was required with the hundreds of component changes in the studio, and challenges of lighting and camera position on a moving rider. Special thanks to Milwaukee Bicycle Co. and State Bicycle Co. for donating bikes for the shoot; Ben’s Cycle for providing studio space; and rider Dan Mueller.”

Great photos Pete! As always!
