Spring is finally here and what better way to welcome it than with a track bike? This Kiyo Miyazawa steel njs bike from Mobius Cycle is a sure stunner and the rainbow paint is the perfect nod to spring’s arrival. Those Phil Wood track cranks really up the bling-factor here too. Check out a few more shots below! Hope everyone’s been getting their Vitamin D in this weekend.

Yesterday, we had quite the pleasant day here in Burlington, VT. No wind, no precipitation. Just sun, low 30s, and a calm lake – making for the perfect day to break the Gan Well Pro out and shoot some photos. I gave’r a cleaning and propped it up right on the edge of Lake Champlain. This has to be one of my favorite bikes I’ve owned. It’s always the first to travel with me and has seen its fair share of cities over the last few years its been in my possession.
See the full album available on our Facebook page later today (probably around beer o’clock). Until then, I’ll be back on the commuter until the streets de-ice.

I love seeing the way others build up a Gan Well Pro. This here is Jessica’s lavender Gan Well, and it’s surely a proper build. Choice bell placement too!

My buddy Pete posted this photo of Kellen’s new Presto track bike over at Don Juan’s Lens (his blog) and it left me salivating. I love NJS track bikes; something about how similar they all are, yet the small details builders would add to make their craft unique. Saw the frame in person once and the paint is gorgeous, maybe we’ll have some more photos to showcase over the next couple of days.

Here’s one of Blotto’s former track bikes, a beautiful Ohtaki NJS track bike with Campagnolo Drop Outs and Columbus Spirit Tubing. This is one sharp bike and I wish I could check it out in person again.
EDIT: The frame is still for sale, shoot him an email: Blotto@BlottoPhotto.com

Some great photos of a recent visit to Kashimax from Chari & Co. These are beautiful saddles, all handmade and family owned in Osaka, Japan. Check out the rest of the post for more photos.

This bike reminds me of the ‘Pumpkin Spasher’, a lovely fixed-townie we had at The Old Spokes Home with a similar look to this gorgeous Nagasawa. More photos after the jump and be sure to check out the full set at Mobius Cycle’s Flickr.

I shot some photos of Hunt’s Vivalo Special the other night and have always loved the loudness of this bike. Between the crispy paint and the drilled drivetrain he has a steed that elegantly combines class and flash.
