3D Printed Carbon Fiber Track Bike: VRZ 2

Things have been a little slow around here lately, so what better way to pick up the speed than with a track bike? Sure, I’ve posted plenty of fast bikes here but how many are constructed using 3D printed titanium lugs? Technology these days fascinates me. I just got back the other day from Seattle where I attended a conference about search engine marketing and while I’ve been saying this for a while, it’s never been more apparent that computers these days are smarter than about 60% of the US population. No doubt.

It’ll be interesting to see what place 3D printing will occupy in the bike industry, too. Charge Bikes have already played around with 3D printed dropouts…and now folks like Ralf Holleis are printing titanium lugs. I guess only time will tell…

Bealach Na Bà: The 5th Floor & The North Race

video by Angus Sung
This is pretty rad and has me psyched for summer gap rides with my buddies; except I’ll be on a road bike and not a track bike. Check out The 5th Floor and The North Race as they take on the 3rd highest paved road in Scotland, Beaclach Na Ba.

Kiyo Miyazawa NJS Track Bike

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.

Colnago Super Pista Track Bike

I’m a strong proponent of Murphey’s Law. I mean, just over a week ago I was riding around town in a tee shirt; fully committed to spring and not looking back. Well, that was silly wasn’t it? Here we are with 3-5″ of snow on the ground again, and I’m just happy I was too lazy to pull the studs off my bike. If the weather can go wrong in Vermont, believe me, it will.

Anyway, what better way to warm things up than a fine looking track bike? A reader from Russia sent me some photos of his latest build and I gotta say, this is one clean looking Colnago Super Pista. Check out this full build list below as well as a few more photos. Thanks Andrey.

1950s Gitane Track Bike

It’s been a minute since I’ve upped a beautiful bicycle here on Culture Cycles. Life’s been busy and I’ve been getting sick over the past few days, making it hard to push on after a 8-9 hour workday. The good news is, we’ve got the Herringbone Tweed Ride and Monster Mash 3 are coming up over the next two weekends! In the mean time, here’s a 1950s Gitane Track Bike to feast your eyes on. I’ve always been a fan of the fork and crown on these Gitanes; plus the matching gold ano Pivo stem bits really up the classiness of this track bike. Take a peak at some more below thanks to Eisenherz Bikes.

Zieleman Type Special Track Bike

An awesome KO Zieleman built track bike from Amsterdam. This bike still has its original paint and is also quite a nice build, though probably not original. Lot’s of drillium going on here, see for yourself below.

Matte Purple Nagasawa

Blotto‘s got another new bike and I was lucky enough to see it in the shop earlier today. *This isn’t it (or maybe it is, I don’t know where he acquired it ), but it’s the same frame, same stunning paint. The pictured Nagasawa belongs to Alan of Cycling WMD and I came across the photos at Prolly Is Not Probably and Cycle EXIF. Make sure to keep peekin’ below (peep that DA 10-pitch) and hopefully we’ll see some shots of Blotto’s build, right?
