The Behance network has a series of illustrations up that coincide with quotes from the likes of Gianni Brera, Lance Armstrong and Adriano De Zan. Check out their entry entitled “Cyclists” for others!

Another solid jersey design from Milltag. This time with a special bonus!

“This weekend sees the first Bespoke show in London’s Shorteditch with 10 custom Luma International track frames by 10 graphic graphic designers, a kind of Milltag for frames if you will. The show is notable for us as collaborator John McFaul has produced a frame to match his Madchester jersey.”

This is something that I’ve been trying to dial in to my best ability for a few weeks now. The classic Eddy Merckx “EM” logo flipped to PINP, for Prolly is not Probably. I’ve wanted to do a vinyl-cut sticker or a decal and the Viking logo doesn’t quit work. There have been a few variations, one of which disengaged the “n” and deleted the “i” but in the end, I think I like this one the best. I’m not a graphic designer, but I think it came out pretty good. What do you guys think?

Justin shot me over his newest edit featuring Mike Giant and Derick Montez. Solid work as always Justin! For more information check out the Vimeo page.

Charge Bikes @Chargebikes teamed up with Bill Amberg Studio, the luxury leather bag company, to produce a leather-adorned Charge Juicer. Mud flaps, saddle, bar tape, toe clips and straps are all clad in vegetable-tanned water buffalo hide. This stunning bike’s process is now documented at the Charge site. Head on over to check it out!

Chris is a regular cyclist like most of us. We all had bikes that we owned at one point in time that we never really loved. He calls these four bikes his “Flings” and he was debating not including them in his All My Bikes series. Check out the reasoning behind each of these at his blog!

Chris Piascik: All My Bikes 24

Wow. Just wow. Luke just showed me this video on Bits and Bikes showing how easy it is to rip-off the new Philly bike racks. All I’ma say is watch it and that’s a big Philly Fail!

One of the hardest things about throwing a contest is having to turn down exceptional designs for even better ones. Chris Piascik is one of my favorite artists and turning down his entry to the Viking Hold Fast FRS Contest was tough! So Chris this is my way of making it up to you. I really do love it!

Check out Chris’ thoughts on how much he hates me now, here!

A friend of the Pristine Gallery in Amsterdam, Pieterjan Ginckels, set up his Piste exhibition in Gallerie de Expeditie to coincide with a six day event. Check out more information at Pristine. I want one in my living room.

Artwork by Jackson Armstrong

Talk about a tough decision. I think this is hands down the most successful contest I’ve ever thrown! We all saw Jackson Armstrong’s process video for his entry and everyone kept asking to see the final image. Well, here it is, in all its glory. The shear detail of this piece is mind-numbing! I can’t imaging the effort and time that went into it.

Jackson, you win 1st place which includes a set of Viking Hold Fast FRS straps, some stickers and a Viking New Era when they come in. Also included in your winning entry is a month of free exposure with a link to your portfolio site at the top of my sidebar. In addition, I’m going to try to work out a shirt deal with Jackson for this graphic! I’ll wear the hell out of it if everything goes as planned!

Read on below to see who won 2nd and 3rd.

Here’s another bad-ass illustration by Halfanese. For this photo shoot, he met up with Rambo and Orange 20 lent him their precious Landshark. What a killer reference! I’d love to see what he would do with the Jess Versus and Her Lurker images! Check out more detailed illustrations at Halfanese.

Rodja Galli made a series of four paintings depicting the Urban Martyrs of modern day hep cats. This one in particular is fitting and accurate, right down to the lack of bar plugs! I kid I kid. Thanks to Fixed Gear Switzerland for the heads!

Ratskl has the inside scoop on Grafa, Malaysia’s first fixed gear concept store / boutique. Overall, the space looks really clean and minimal with some nice track components and clothing in stock. Check out more photos at Ratskl!

No, this isn’t a Viking Hold Fast FRS Contest entry, which is done now so stop submitting designs. It’s an update to Steve’s Viking logo tattoo. This came out awesome! Check out the full shot below.

Let’s just say when this came into my inbox last night, my jaw dropped. Jackson Armstrong‘s submission to the Viking Hold Fast FRS contest is ridiculous! Would you look at that? He’s just raised the bar. Still, more entries are trickling in. You guys have till Friday so God Luck and Good Speed.

Damn. She’s scary! This axe-wielding maniac fixed hesher is on the prowl for new boys to butcher. If you think this is gnar gnar wait till you see Jackson Armstrong’s submission to the Viking Hold Fast FRS competition. This illustration in particular is called Bike Girl. Really feeling his style. Check out more of his work at his Behance profile!
