Oh, would you look at that? Tokyo Fixed Gear and Death Spray Custom came together on this Lo Pro, also being called the ONO. So far we know it’s a fillet-brazed Columbus MAX tube set with paint by Death Spray Custom. Can’t wait to see more.

It’s coming back to life…

Yup, I’m bringing my Bianchi back to life. I missed having this bike in the stable, plus it rides like a super car…I couldn’t bring myself to sell it. Steel is great and all, but sometimes you wanna feel every nuance of the road and its contours – the Bianchi delivers. It rides like no other road frame I’ve had/tried/tested, though it’s definitely an acquired taste (many complain of it being too stiff).

Don’t get me wrong, I love steel too. I just got a Soma Saga which I’ll be building up to camp/tour this season with 26″ wheels – more on that soon.

Happy Monday y’all.

hand built mountain bike frame

Remember this frame from Sunrise Cycles that I posted a while back? Well it’s been given some color! The paint seems to further highlight all of the incredible details found on this hand built mountain bike frame – just have a look at the head tube area (not to mention the seat stays). See more photos from Sunrise Cycles here.
