Brooklyn Machine Works (BMW) has always been into its own category in fixed gear culture. With the massive success of the recent Gangsta V4 and the number of questions that I heard around me…

Would you look at that! Our first International bike check! And what better way to start than with my good friend Kotaro’s Kevin Winter. It’s a bike I know well, since I helped him import it in Japan

Today is a very important bike check and let me tell you why. When Brivael first told me about his custom track frame that he was gonna build, I was intrigued. When he gave me more details…

Hello everyone! Today is a quick write-up on a few things I wanted to discuss. Since It’s not a “real” article, I’ll make it up to all of you in the next few weeks with an extra bike check or something along these lines. …

As someone who started cycling semi-seriously, primarily because of commuting, I find it really difficult to do a “loop”. The principle of riding on your bike aimlessly, to finally come back where you started and close your “loop” sounds almost impossible to me.

As fixed gear riders, the usual joke around is: “I’m one with the bike! It’s like there is a connection between us!”. And as corny as it may seem, it’s a genuine feeling that I hope you’ve encountered…

I’m pretty sure that you all know what a GT GTB/Pulse/Kinesis is. I would say it’s part of the holy trinity of the late 90s’ most collectable track bikes….

Ok! So before you read anything, put down any spike of fork you may have reached just by reading the title. Today we’re diving into a “touchy” subject. For the ones who are still paralyzed or too scared to read just one more word. Don’t worry, if I did it, you can do it too. Stay focused, breathe, one step at a time…

A few months back when Fabian and I were looking for some news to put in the pre-show, I came upon something quite interesting. A handlebar made out of wood…
It’s already no secret that in the cycling industry there have been many attempts to introduce wooden handlebars. Most of them failed miserably…

It is nice to be back! I hope everyone had nice winter holidays and that you got to spend some time with your close ones during these weird times!

I can feel it…2022 is gonna be great, and what better way to start it than with a bike check with a rather interesting story.

If you’re always hanging out on njs-export.com and you just need that “extra push” to pull the trigger on your dream japanese-made frameset, well I’m afraid that article might just do it for you.

Tube, check! Co2 cartridge, check! Multitool, I got that too! Either by myself or with some friends, on any ride with a roady vibe to it, I end up doing the same process over and over to check if I have everything I need…

I’ll start with that: Track cycling is beautiful. Like many of you reading this, I come from the “street” part of track cycling where our only goal is to have fun and just ride in traffic.

Alright! So it’s been now a little over 2 months with the new Chromes Industries Kursk shoes and it is time for a review from someone that destroyed a few pairs of the previous version but was really eager to try the new ones…

The Somec Tempest! Let’s talk about it! Already pretty uncommon as a road bike, it is even rarer as a track bike. Truth be told, I’ve only seen three in my life and that includes the two I saw online.

For a lot of us riders, it is almost a reflex to check the local bike shops, bike cafes, and other potentially interesting places when we visit a new city…

Alright, I know I’m a little bit late to the party. You’ve seen them online or in your local group ride, but after the new release of the Mash steel, and the sexy Blue Lug/Mash color exclusive, I couldn’t really deny that I wanted one…

What? Two bike checks in a row? Must be Christmas or something, right? Well, what can I say, maybe you’re just lucky that I have so many amazing bikes around me! This week we have our friendly Rob a.k.a. @Cairnsy.co coming all the way from Berlin to Paris to show off his skills and custom handmade track bike.

A few months back, I was recording the podcast and you might have heard this: “Hey, by the way, shout out to this automotive designer I know who owns several Cannondale tracks!” Well, I got the chance to enter his man cave to take a few shots of two really special bikes in his collection…
