Brick Lane Bikes – new frames & cranks

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.

Awesome photography

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.

That’s Tom La Marche in his own words.

He recently did an interview of sorts with Tyler from WRAHW.
