Stanridge Speed at the Chrome Hub in NYC

CHROMExSTANRIDGE-01

Adam from Stanridge Speed has really won over the world of the track bike criteriums with his made in the USA race machine, the Highstreet. This Thursday, June 6th, head to Chrome’s NYC Hub to chat with Adam and drink some beer.

On a side note: Dan Chabs can wheelie? Lets see him do that when he smashes everyone yet again at Red Hook Crit Brooklyn Navy Yard. You guys don’t stand a chance!

I love Peter Weigle. He’s one of the nicest frame builders you’ll ever meet and even though I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting Ezra before, I’d say he’s a pretty nice guy as well. Both Fastboy and Peter’s bicycles have provided me with tons of inspiration and seeing them come together via Ezra’s lens is not to be missed… and even Jamie Swan was there! Check out more photos at the Fast Boy Flickr.

Bishop Bikes: Stainless Brake Hole Cap

One of the biggest critiques I abhor reading online is “too bad the fork is drilled”. This is Chris Bishop‘s answer to the track bike’s conundrum: to drill or not to drill? Drill away! He’ll just add a stainless brake hole embellishment to cover it up when you don’t have a brake. So rad.

An Icarus Cross Frame With Nice Details

IcarusCross-10

I had to swing by Icarus Frames ( @IcarusFrames ) today to pick up a few things and while I was there, I got to see some of his latest handywork. This 1×10 commuter cross frame is heading up to Boston and while the customer didn’t want anything too fancy, Ian added some clean detailing. The fork will be an ENVE cross and it’ll be heading out to paint shortly. Part of me really loves seeing a frame in this state but a good coat of paint always brings out the details.

Check out a few more shots below.

Right now, this bike has no stories to share, save for its tale of a birth from torch and steel but in a year, it’ll have many miles under its saddle. John’s randonneur is the latest from Royal H Cycles. See the full set here.

Made by Hand: Fast Boy Cycles

I really enjoyed this video from Made by Hand on Fast Boy Cycles!

“A project from bureauofcommongoods.com, Made by Hand is a new short film series celebrating the people who make things by hand—sustainably, locally, and with a love for their craft.

Our fifth film turns to bike maker Ezra Caldwell (Fast Boy Cycles), who was diagnosed with cancer in 2008. When the cancer threatens to shatter his love of bikes, Ezra survives by documenting his illness as thoroughly as his craft.”

This is too good to not share. Keep it fun, Firefly. So where’s the Instagram shot of this one?

Correction, it was a Vine!

Beautiful Bicycle: Raffy’s Stinner Cross

This has got to be one of my favorite cross bikes I’ve photographed since Ty’s Hufnagel. Raffy’s tale is a unique one, just like his Stinner. He works at Euro Asia and is arguably responsible for gumwall tires being distributed in the continental United States. While the specifics of that are still a but fuzzy, this bike is anything but. Clean, sharp lines mixed in with great paint and a pretty rad build list. See for yourself in the Gallery.
