The Radavist

Woah. Proper! This short clip was made here in Brooklyn to promote the W-Base 6-year anniversary party. The party will be BMW-themed with signed frames and other history on display. Solid!

I have no idea what’s going on right now but I like it! Crab Cycles‘ new web commercial is unique to say the least.

What’s more metal than a Baphomet on a bike? That lovable demigod from a 12th-century Provençal poem has found itself riding a sick tarck bike when it encounters a gnarly pothole. The young hepcat who witnesses the accident quickly realizes that one should not fuck with Eliphas Lévi.

Via Draw Brandon Draw.

Normaa mixes it up from their usual web edit with an animated short about 60’s Japanese music and fixed Japanese community. Nicely done!

The Neighbors series continues with Mike Giant. It’s always interesting to see an artist’s modus operandi.

And now for something completely different. I’ve always wanted to do shit like this. Unfortunately, in NYC this would get you locked up for a decade.

To keep on top of all the events, check out Ride: Life in the Bike Lane.

Last Friday night, while at a Mishka party, I ran into Steve Nunes. We’ve seen this a few times previously but it was the first time I got to see it in real life. Wicked! Thanks for taking your sock off Steve.

Richard Sachs might be known for his hand-built bicycle frames but here’s proof that he’s tech savvy as well. These stereolithography lugs popped up on his Flickr last night along with their packaging and header cards from the prototypers. How rad is that? Old school meets new school. You remember what Sach’s lugs look like right? Puts new meaning to e-RICHIE.

There’s a lot going on with the I Love My Bike Book crew.

For starters, Chris Piascik and Jamie Murrett from Print Brigade put out this video promoting the book’s new pre-orders at Amazon, Borders and Barns & Noble.

There’s also an extensive gallery up on the site. Here’s Ben from Break Beat Science living the life of luxury in Brooklyn. Check out the rest of the gallery here!

Max from Tokyo Fixed Gear just sent me this teaser photo of a recent collaboration with fashion designer Eley Kishimoto and Death Spray Custom. That is one ill Supercorsa. I can’t wait to see more!

Edit: There are more photos up on the TFG Flickr, checkem out!

You thought it was over? Well, as long as Chris is getting bikes, he’ll continue drawing them. His newest acquisition is this custom Freeman Transport. That’s one solid road bike man and that color is awesome! Check out the bike, IRL, over at the Freeman Blog!

Chris Piascik‘s All My Bikes series is one of my favorite design projects of the year. Now you can own a full-color zine filled with each and every one of Chris’ never-ending illustrations:

“Full color, 28-page zine featuring illustrations of every bike I have ever owned. Since a young age I have been completely bike crazy, because of that I’ve had lots of different bikes of all shapes and sizes. Highlights include: General Hustler, Robinson SST, Schwinn Predator, S&M Holmes, Soma Rush, Standard 125R, Milwaukee Bruiser, All-City Dropout, FBM Joint 2, Freeman Transport.

32 Bikes! Limited run of 100 copies—each signed and numbered.”

Grab on here at the Print Brigade store.

I get fan mail from time to time. Sometimes it’s a crazy illustration, or a photo but every once and a while, something like this comes into the Norseland that blows everything else out of the water. Good Wood NYC makes wooden jewelry. From stock pieces to custom orders, their laser-cut wooden medallions have been getting quite the press coverage as of late. When I got a package from them you can imagine my excitement to find this bad-boy in the box.

I posted about Ku Jewelry back in May of 2009 and since then the crew at Ku has been hustling hard to bring you cycling-themed ornament. Now it’s even easier than before to pick up some hand-made bike jewelry. Check out Ku’s new online store here and don’t forget about these guys for the 2010 holidays! I know a lot of cyclists who’d love to get their hands on (and fingers through) some of this stuff.

Now I’m going out on a limb here and assuming that the Baltimore Murder Sessions is a weekly meet-up? Bmore Fixed met up yesterday at 1pm at the Hold Fast HQ to ride. If this is a weekly thing, make sure you head out to it next week! Sick illustration guys!

I showed you photos of the Independent Fabrication: Titanium Factory Lightweight earlier last week and made mention of the Aarn Works Design IF Top. While a small detail like a seatpost clamp might be overlooked on a bike like this, it definitely deserves its own post. Aarn Works Design is a small, intelligent design company run by Aaron in the Fringe, located in Somerville, Mass. A few months ago, Tyler from Indy Fab approached Aaron about a super-duper-awesome show bike they were working on.

Speaking of artists and bikes, this Cinelli Mash track bike was recently customized by Woof and Arfx. Pretty solid. Check out more info at Cyclonesia and Pancalen Cycles!
