Devon Tsuno for CBNC

I don’t usually double dip on a post’s subject, but these two dudes are legit. Devon Tsuno and Ace for CBNC and the Unknown raffle that’s going down tonight in LA.

The Death Spray Custom Formula: Helmet

The final chapter in the Death Spray Custom Formula is not at all what I expected. I’ve been enjoying these shorts, see the rest of them here.

File this one under complete radness. Tim from the North Race got David at Death Spray Custom to dress up his Low track bike with one of those bitchin’ forks. Check out more photos here.

Man. This is so, so sick. Rudy from the 5th Floor has a custom Death Spray Custom fork on his track bike and I’m digging it a lot. See more at the Death Spray Custom blog.

Guest Gallery: Garrett Chow’s Custom Specialized Carbon Crux CX by Mike Martin

Mike Martin is a very busy guy. When he’s not at the Mash SF storefront, he’s planning an event, working on his clothing line Martin or out shooting video. That doesn’t leave a lot of time for his other passion: photography. It’s not everyday that you see photos from Mike, so when he showcases inspirational photos like these, I had to reach out to him.

Garrett Chow’s work that comes out of his studio in the Specialized facilities is always far from ordinary and his new Custom Specialized Carbon Crux CX is a perfect example of his craftsmanship. Many thanks to Mike for the high res photos. Check them out below!

Death Spray Custom Kills All

I’ve been posting about Death Spray Custom for as long as David’s been putting his work online. He’s one of the most famous bicycle painters and it’s not because of his lug or box lining. David’s work is heavily inspired by automotive, motorbike, Razzle Dazzle and anything else that can be applied to a complex curvature. There’s a great interview up on CycleEXIF, so head over and check it out.

Keith Anderson Cycles: Lavender Pearl DeRosa For Sale

It’s hard not to get all warm inside when this head tube stares you down. Keith Anderson is selling this immaculate DeRosa through his paint shop. $1,200 gets you a bike as Italian as a cannoli stain on an Armani suit.

Death Spray Custom: Matte Swedish Splitter Camo Fork

This is amazing. Sorry for the Instagram pic but it’s all that Death Spray Custom had! It’s going on the Hunt‘s prize bike.

Horse Cycles: Masking Process

Thomas from Horse Cycles did a little step-by-step photo series on how he masks his logos on his bikes. Check out more here at the Horse Flickr and see this bike in person at the New Am Bike Show this weekend.

Nicolai Argon Road / Touring / Racing Frameset

I’ll admit, I saw neon and thought “oh pretty”, then I read up on Nicolai’s Argon road / touring / tracing frameset (yes, I have no idea how those geometries overlap). But the color, named “alarm dizzy camou”, is probably what caught Death Spray Custom‘s eye. As far as the bike is concerned, it’s Gates compatible and their description seems very, um, German:

“It has to be said that the Argon Road is not your conventional road bike. There are no smooth welds, no intricate lugs and no carbon tubes. However, you can not fail to be convinced by its superior stiffness to weight ratio. Indeed, both the torsional and the longitudinal stiffness of the Argon Road are almost unrivalled and it significantly outperforms carbon competitors in this respect. (Test EFBe Institute 2006) So how does a rider benefit from this? On long climbs in the mountains the Argon Road saves energy. On long Alpine descents the rigidity allows unparalleled tracking – it corners like it is on rails. After all, what is better when road-racing than being just that little bit faster? ”

I just like the paint.
