Why am I so happy to do this bike check? Because of this! This is the perfect mix of “let me build something fully custom” and “okay, but no more than 100 euros”. From the rattle can paint job to the part selection, everything on this bike screams: I don’t care what you think, I look sick anyway! So let’s see what this is all about.

Summer is here again and for most of us, it’s also time to take some time off and ride to new places. Fortunately for us, a good friend of Ella and I had the perfect destination in mind and we took the opportunity to ride our bikes and go shred some dust. 

Ha Switzerland! A country of beautiful lakes, impressive train infrastructure, and weirdly mountain-shaped chocolate bars. But Switzerland is also known for its precision engineering and striking craftsmanship.

There is always that one time when you have a problem with your bike and you don’t want to fix it yourself because it either looks too tricky or you don’t have the right tools for the job…

Get ready because this will be a weird one. And I’m gonna start with the elephant in the room. The pictures! What happened? Why so much ｇｒａｉｎ and why colors that looks like it’s straight out of a bad western spaghetti movie. Well let me explain…

Hello everyone and welcome to a slightly different write-up than usual. If you enjoy the blog and the podcast, this is definitely something you should read to understand the work behind Slow Spin Society.

One could easily argue that black and white film photography could make any situation look like a piece of art. And I agree! I think that more often than not, shooting anything in…

Today is bike check day! Yay! You already know how it goes: great bike, pictures, story, and so on. But today is different. Today we’re gonna focus on the story and how you go from a journey to an idea, to something real and tangible for your hands only…

After almost two years of owning these bags and a decent amount of time taking them with me on various trips, it's finally time for an in-depth review of my three Outer Shell bags…

With France still under its third lockdown and the good amount of work and life events that have bombarded us recently, we didn’t really find the time to take the car or bike and go somewhere to enjoy some fresh air. Today, I wanted to roll things back a little bit and share a trip we did last summer…

Having a gravel bike has been at the back of my mind for a while now. Why are they so expensive? Why does a nice gravel tire cost €80? Why am I constantly looking for other ways to ride and end up with yet another fixed gear?

Every once in a while your friend gets a nice new bike and you’re really happy for them… but almost kinda jealous at the same time. Well, that’s pretty much what happened

Could you decide what to order and did everything arrive safely? Not yet? Check part.1 then! If you did, we should probably get to work to fit your bike with a sweet new pair of shoes. Today we’re gonna look into the “building” part of custom wheel building.

Welcome to my own bike check! Yep, today I’m gonna tell you the story behind my Cinelli Mash Work and how it went through almost every fixie boy phase: tracklocross, commuter, long distances, and much more...

After riding fixed gear for years exclusively in the city , I've been more recently inclined to go explore more and more into the wild. Just for some fresh air or as a personal challenge, I find it extremely rewarding to travel with one bike, one gear and enjoy myself wherever I end up riding.

So you just picked up a new frame or maybe just want a “refresh” for your ride. Buying a pair of new wheels can be an absolute mad adventure. The price range is literally a hundred to a few thousands euros/dollars. Where do you start?

As temperature drops and my hands start to regret every outside journey, my friends and I were starting to crave some snowy action! Even a little bit would do, but snowy days in Paris are a rare sight nowadays…

As time goes by, the way you cycle evolves and so does your taste in bikes. This is what happens when someone coming straight from mountain biking decides to move into the city and needs the ultimate fun commuter…

So you’re having some coffee with your good cyclist friend… He is telling you all about his last escape with the boys and it sounds like they had quite a blast riding together….

A few months ago when quarantine was going strong and all of us were at home. My good friend Diego did something I have a huge respect for. He said …
