A mash product of a traditional track racer and a BMX ride, the Giant Bowery FMX Bike ($750) is a healthy mix of old and new features. A lightweight ALUXX aluminum frame, a BMX custom ‘no rail’ saddle, a CroMo 3-piece tubular crankset, alloy high-rise handlebars, and the option to go fixie or freewheel.
Urban Outfitters has just opened their online bike shop by teaming up with Republic Bike to build custom single speed fixed gear bicycles. The bike is a customizable with a flip-flop hub. Fixed or free – you decide. The bikes are available in three sizes large, medium and small and can be customized in a variety of colors-ways. Everything from the rims to the chain can be custom painted or choose from the popular builds. Above is my custom paint dubbed redezines. Your custom build is based on a first come first serve basis and will run $400.
Popular bike crew and subject of their own documentary, MASHSF has relaunched their website. Upon visiting the site, a video from this past summer shot in Austin can be viewed. Joined by multiple Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong for an extensive ride, the video concludes with a quick tour of Armstrong’s lavish digs. The site also sports a webstore giving access to a series of MASHSF-branded products including apparel, accessories and of course the MASHSF DVD.
Check the site out at MASHSF.com.
