I've been blessed to know Woody, and i'm sure those of you who have met the man can not express the amount of love, passion, and wisdom this individual holds. Sit down and buy the guy a cup of joe and he'll change your perception on life. Check out his latest documentary "Last Minutes with Oden". Last Minutes with ODEN from phos pictures on Vimeo.

We have a new (used) Columbus tubed Samson NJS frame up for sale. This thing is hot! Light blue with a gold sparkle. Fastback seatstays, and all the nice lugwork that you would expect from Samson. Come check this frame out at our Costa Mesa location while you can, because at $850 for frame, fork, headset, and bottom bracket, this won't last too long.

So, I'm workin' at the shop this Wednesday and Paul drops this box off to me: Needless to say I was juiced. I had been scoping the new Chrome shoes since the boys from up north brought samples by a few months ago. I must say these shoes are very well made. They have double stitching and reinforcement in all the right places, and the little reflective patch on the back is a nice touch, not to mention they look fly. I tossed them on to see how they performed. I first noticed the extra stiffness from the "propulsion plate" which doesn't extend...

citygrounds x LookBook Outlet Store Jumper Style Dress - Those Who Dare The rules are your own, and your preference is to stay on top of the fashion designs that cater to the bold and daring.

We recieved this info from the Bicycle Film Festival the other day: "This summer, The Bicycle Film Festival, presented by 42BELOW, returns to Los Angeles for the SIXTH year to present a cultural phenomenon like no other. Originating in New York City, the festival is a voice for the most powerful and culturally relevant movement of the past decade: the urban bike movement. The BFF brings together many creative communities, including fashion, music and art as well as various bicycling communities – including fixed gear, BMX, and road cycling - over a shared passion for bike riding."

The City Grounds opening raffle was a great success, and the final build is complete and roaming the streets of Cerritos right now. Congratulations to Allen on the clean build!

Loop Magazine from Japan recently released their first issue.  This thing is packed with info and pictures of bikes, shops, riders... just everything.  Incredible job.  We were lucky to have a small spread alongside some dope shops like Track Star, Orange 20, Carnival, W-Base and more.  Check them here.

Check out our new company logo, City Grounds, and the new store logo for LBFG.  I think they turned out dope! We were fortunate enough to work with one of the best graphic designers in the biz, Benny Gold.   He is the design genius behind Mash, Huf, and his own label, Benny Gold (see below).  He has been blowing up in the last few years and has worked with notable companies such as Stussy, Nike, Adidas, DVS, and many other respected brands.  Check out his projects here.

It took us a good 4 months to remodel and setup shop for LBFG - Long Beach Fixed Gear. This will give you guys an idea of what we had to deal with.  Notice how our shop used to be connected to the Village Grind (next door neighbors).            

It has definitely been an exciting, exhausting, and humbling experience opening up LBFG. It is hard to believe that the store was just an idea back in June 2008. This of course would not have been possible without the support from my team (Pops, Jack, Eric, Christopher), family, friends, and the Long Beach locals. Considering that we've only been open for two months, a strong community has been created out of our 450 sq/ft shop, and it's truly inspiring! It is unbelievable to see how quickly the scene has progressed. It really has become something of a global movement. I...
