Here’s some bling for your Friday. This Lynskey Road Bike is built with titanium helix-style tubing and equipped with Campagnolo Record 11 EPS. Built by Dan at Branford Bike & shot by Niki of Mobius Cycle, this is one stunning piece of ride-able art…and I hope its owner gives it the beating it deserves.
Get super close to this bike below.

This BME X-9 is absolutely wild. But I appreciate the technology behind this experimental frame. At first, I saw this photo and immediately thought of playing Star Fox…then I read a bit more on Headset Press, and had to check out BME. The frame is made out of sandwiched panels with an aramid honeycomb core and covered in carbon fiber.
Get a closer look below, and be sure to head over to Brano Meres Engineering & Design to read up on the design.

Speaking of new bikes…Hunt’s been rippin’ his brand-new Jamis XCT Race all mountain bike around recently, rekindling an old love for all mountain riding and bikes that go “boing-boing” (sorry, I had to). This post makes two Instagram photos of two homie’s bikes in a row…
Time for me to head into the dungeon and finish up my Soma Saga…expect to see some photos soon!

Damn, I’m glad my buddy Josh finally joined Facebook. Josh has been one of my best buds for while, before he ever had any interest in bikes, let alone became a co-owner of a newly successful NYC bike messenger known as Clementine Courier. Before joining the underworld that is social media, we’d talk every month or so via telephone for hours (watch out man, I’ll be calling you soon)…both filling each other in on all the excitement (believe me, I can still find some in Burlington) and reminiscing about old high school memories. I’ve taken countless trips to the city, visiting friends, checking out shops, cruising with Josh…and whether it’s tagging along on his daily runs, or trying to shake morning sickness after a night of drinking, – he’s always positive and knows how to show his guests a good time.
Anyway…I’m planning on getting down there to visit soon! Until then, here’s Josh Rovner’s newly built Cervelo Super Prodigy race bike, equipped for the extremes with a Campagnolo Super Record 11 grouppo among other choice bits…now only if I could get some more photos (cough, cough – you better still have this when I come visit). This beauty is pictured in front of King Kog – our friends down in BK.

Take a closer look at our buddy and local Burlington, VT builder Hubert d’Autremont‘s porteur bike he built for the 2011 Oregon Manifest. I really like the custom rack and kickstand. That bag you see is a also a one of a kind collaboration between Hubert and Matt Renna of Queen City Dry Goods. See a couple more shots below.
