Although the guys at London’s BLB have a reputation for being kinda dicks, the shop houses what I consider to be the widest selection of track frames in the UK. Stuff from Italy, eastern Europe, locally-produced swag
(Bob Jacksons etc) – it’s all there. They’ve been producing their own frames for a while now, and this is their latest drop, including the Trick, Track and Classic.
And some nice looking cranks too!
From HypeBeast:
“One of America’s best-known underground illustrators, R. Crumb is at the center of a collaboration capsule this season as a recent release involves a re-worked Authentic model. The Authentic One Piece LX features a blue upper with tonal imagery. A box featuring R. Crumb’s artwork completes the package which is available now at Vans Vault dealers.”
Not fixies, but one Damian Breach has been getting up to some really cool mountian biking photography. Check out the slide show HERE and his main site here.
The pics really do well to capture that gritty outdoorsy feeling and are loaded with action, colors and texture.
Kareem from Death Pedal got down and dirty with Matt Lingo.
I am loving Matt Lingo’s stuff. Sohotrightnow!
That’s Tom La Marche in his own words.
He recently did an interview of sorts with Tyler from WRAHW.
