Cinelli Laser Re-issue Confirmed!
When Brendan showed me this article in Fixed Mag Issue. 5, i almost broke down and cried. I've watched countless ebay bids for this frameset varying from $4,000-$8,000, which resulted in many sleepless nights knowing i may never own my dream frameset.... TIL NOW! I called up our Cinelli rep and confirmed the good news... they are coming! We'll definitely have these on pre-order as soon as we hear the OK from Cinelli. We'll keep you guys posted! I wonder how steep the pursuit is going to be?

Backflip landed at Shiokaze
Japan recently held a trick competition and all the big names were there. Marco's attempts at 540's were just nuts and same were the huge airs out of the quarters, but Kozo destroyed it! Landing a perfect backflip on his first trick in his run, giant foot jams, clean 360s, and insane flare attempts. These dudes have really brought it to a new level of riding. I can totally see fixed gear freestyle progressing into different genres like street bmx style, old school "fixie" tricks, and crazy back flipping skate park riders which is pretty awesome, considering how far the...

Velocity P35!
Congo and Matt were telling me about these Velocity P35 rims for awhile, so i called up Velocity and had them send over a few rims. We'll have Matt Spencer test some out and keep you guys updated. With a 35mm wide rim, these make your standard Deep-V's look tiny! Velocity's tire size recommendation: "to be safe i wouldn't throw anything lower than a 700x38mm tire on there, even though you could ride a 700x35mm"

Available online here These All-City Dropout trick forks are flying off the shelves. These trick forks have definitely proven themselves and will take all the abuse you can throw at it.
