back…

Well,

it’s been about 6 months since the last blog post! Very busy time with all sorts of stuff happening. Lots of exciting bike stuff going on and a lot of non-bike stuff too. My order book has been closed for a few months but as of now, it’s open again.

parkour/freerunning video

Warning: this has no framebuilding, cycling or bike content…..

I came across this little video via Alistair Humphreys excellent site.

It brought to mind that Danny MacAskill video from last year. What Danny MacAskill was doing on a bike bears absolutely no relation to what I can do on a bike but I can still relate to it. He’s still riding a bike but I can say with 100% confidence that I could never do what he does. The guys in that parkour video are just running and jumping and I can run and jump, so could I do what they’re doing if I practiced enough? The answer clearly is no!

Dario Pegoretti short film

I should have posted this earlier but I forgot it was on. It’s a short film produced by RSA Films and Rapha about the Italian framebuilder Dario Pegoretti. It’s only available for 24 hours and I don’t know when that period started or is stopping so watch it now if you can, before it’s gone.

It’s very good.

EDIT – It doesn’t support embedding in my web page, so click this link to watch it.

mór dearg

Jonathan just picked this up today. We had 2 main aims with this bike, firstly it had to fit right and secondly it had to look like a normal bike. While this wouldn’t normally be a problem, Jonathan is 6’9″ (> 206cm).

I could do this (not!)

I’m no bmxer and don’t really ‘get’ a lot of what goes on with those tiddly little bikes but some of this stuff is way impressive.

Apple gets into the bike biz!

Ok, not really, but this patent information suggests they’re at least thinking about it.

Salsa Mukluk

Salsa have just announced the Mukluk, a production snow bike. I know that Surly have had the Pugsley for a while but is there really the demand for something this niche from a major production company? It’ll be interessting to see how it sells.
