By jrose | Published: January 22, 2010
Heads or Tails {Trailer} from Mad Phil Media on Vimeo. “Rise” Trailer from Costa Sunglasses on Vimeo. Couple of selections from the upcoming Film Tour I’ll be hitting up next week in Fort Collins. Very Warren Miller in fishing form (I could stand to hear a little less metal in the soundtracks) but overall, really nice filmmaking [...]

Pashley Cycles

By heyhansen | Published: November 12, 2009
The local bike shop is bringing these in and man do they look sweet. Just a few of their interesting points are the 28″ wheels, hub brakes and the way the rear fork bolts on. That Guv’nor (top) is calling my name. Check ‘em out.

Off the Hanger: Simple Saturday

By heyhansen | Published: November 6, 2009
Enjoying the Indian Summer we’re experiencing here in early November. Last week 2′ of snow, this week 70 and beautiful blue sky. It’s got me feeling optimistic, so much so that I even believe that motorcycle might be running by end of day…. Pants (rated highly for motorcycle riding) Sweater Jacket Belt Boots (thanks 10engines) Watch (I know watch lovers, I [...]

How To: Townie Upgrade

By jrose | Published: November 1, 2009
There seems to be a plethora of older American made frames out and about (Schwinn, Ross, etc.) that can be had for dirt cheap. I picked up this American Ross frame at a flea for almost nothing and made a few upgrades. After a bit of searching on Sheldon Brown, I realized that [...]

New Classic: Bridgestone MB-1 and XO-1

By jrose | Published: October 19, 2009
From catalog: If you spend more time riding trails than dreaming about it; if you’re tired of bikes that position you like a typist and steer like tractors; if you want a light, nible, comfortable bike for precision travel over any surface-then the MB-1 is your bike. Blind to the whims of the market and [...]

Raleigh Rainier Cyclocross

By jrose | Published: August 28, 2009
This thing would be just about perfect, specially if you wanted to keep it simple (although you’d probably want to add those additional flat lever brakes due to your detest for the road levers). Love the Rainier beer label look and the simple white. Pics from Raleigh and Cyclocross Magazine.
