Pedalhard : Track Crit

Who has the car? I got the gas, grass, or ass.

Brian Novelo's LOW frame

I got to shoot Brian Novelo's LOW frame recently. The frame suits Brian really well; all black, raw decal, and a specially designed brushed Cadence logo peeking through the raw. Hella classy. Maggie's purple and white track standard will hit the internet soon.

Cannondale Reissues the 92-95 Track Frames

I have to repost this. After their track stable wasn't selling well, Cannondale called Prolly. After some conversation, Prolly convinced Cannondale to go back to 93 and will be reissuing those models. Now here's my gripe:

- They're called Tarck 100.
- They will be made in Taiwan.
- Their complete bikes will come with Sun tubular rims.

For a company who rooted themselves on their aluminum craftsmanship in America, why not go all the way? Rather than listening to Prolly, Cannondales going with options that suit them. Regardless, I got a lot of respect for Prolly and I'm glad to see companies like Cannondale are listening to him.

Spotted at Prolly.

3Rensho

I've always loved 3Rensho's and do I love even more are modeulo lugs on them. So when I saw the two pop up randomly, I thought I should do a small write up for it.

LDG : Stainless Steel Lock Ring

Normally, I normally don't consider any modern component to be luxurious, but Livery Design Gruppe changed that. Their stainless steel lockrings is CNC'ed to perfection and has the kind of detail that only a few other companies really seek out to extract themselves from the rest. You can find it here: LDG : Livery Design Gruppe

Rapha + Paul Smith

Rapha + Paul Smith SS11 from RAPHA on Vimeo.

Rapha + Paul Smith has a full line of clothing and accessories available now. Some of the highlights include their perforated track gloves inspired by the hard working individuals in the velodrome.





I never enjoy rushing through traffic on my way to somewhere and neither do I like to show it. I can at least look well enough in their Windproof Cycling Shirt. Made from the same material as their rain jacket, they also offer jersey style pockets to alleviate carrying your bag everywhere you go.
