Wolvh

Mettie — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 09:34:05 +0000

Wolvh is a new clothing label run by Patrick Seabase, Ian White and Lars Burgunder. Most of the designs are a bit too cultish for me, but I like this one.

Check out the site for limited-run lines and preorders.

4TN Frame & Fork

Mettie — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 20:09:14 +0000

The 14BikeCo online store is now up! As well as the usual bike related componentry, they’re also stocking a range of 4TN apparel. I particularly like the “frame and fork” t-shirt. An inside joke between cyclists!

DVS Keirin Collection

Mettie — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 11:08:08 +0000

DVS has a strong skate heritage, but following the Keo Curry signature shoe and the Cadence collaboration, they’re releasing the Keirin Collection – a range inspired by the brightly coloured numbered jerseys worn by Japanese Keirin racers.

Prolly took delivery of a couple of pairs recently. Their slim profile and stiff rubber outsole makes them well suited for riding in toe clips. No word on South African retailers, though. (Melissa?)

The matrix of kiffness

This photo was supposedly taken moments before a beam of light shone down from the heavens and brought an end to world hunger and AIDS.

Onitsuka Tiger x Shoe Biz x BFF

Mettie — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 12:46:22 +0000

As the Bicycle Film Festival continues to roll around the world, HypeBeast gives us a look at a upcoming footwear design between Onitsuka Tiger and San Francisco-based Shoe Biz.

Developed for the San Francisco leg of this year’s Bicycle Film Festival, the shoes are a cycling version of Onitsuka’s classic Mexico silhouette, featuring a solid rubber outsole which makes it studier and more durable than the current spongier design.

Additional highlights include super soft perforated leather uppers, a 3M reflective heel cross, and 3M woven shoelaces, all atop a simple black & white colorway. A release can be expected through Shoe Biz soon, with additional details to come.

Austin Horse’s Essentials

Mettie — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 12:26:05 +0000

NYC super-courier Austin Horse gives us a breakdown of his tools of the trade in the latest edition of The Red Bulletin. (Click to enlarge.)

Rad cycle gear aside, Horse gets props for his reading material. The Shock Doctrine changed my perception of economics and Capitalism in general. A great read.

Hello Again Opening x Knice Clothing Specials!

Mike — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 09:21:44 +0000

So, fellow Cape Town rider, owner of Fittees and all round nice guy, Tobie, has opened up a new Hello Again shop on 223 Long Street. The new store is looking really great and has a good selection of clothes and bikes. The Colnago road bike with the full Dura Ace is a steal and is not going to be there for very long at the price it is selling for. Well worth dropping by! To celebrate, the full range of Knice, as featured on FGCT before, t-shirts are on sale for the rest of the month with a 20% discount! The Knice Cape Town tee

Tall Bike

The offer runs until the end of the month so don’t waste time. That Colnago is also not going to be there forever either…

Blue Lug Gear Ratio Bandana

Mettie — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:19:29 +0000

Given that the gear ratio is a fairly frequent conversation point among bike geeks (and the source of bragging rights among fixed gear riders) it’s pretty helpful having this Blue Lug reference at hand. Although wearing it in your pocket might send out the wrong message in certain parts of Cape Town…

Thom Browne for Moncler SS2011

Mettie — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:04:32 +0000

Luxury sportswear brand Moncler teamed up with menswear designer Thom Browne for the Moncler Gamme Bleu SS2011 collection. The theme of the collection was “Tour de France”, with models wearing bicycle print leggings and cycling-inspired flourishes such as gloves and caps. As with most “cycling themed” fashion, the clothes aren’t exactly suited for cycling in. But I liked the fact that the show was held in Milan’s famous Velodromo Vigorelli. Nice bit of history, right there!

Thanks for the heads up, Kate!
