Mellow hot day at the shop. Doing a generator wheelbuild and a complete build on a Tesch. Dog is sleeping on my lap. I saw these videos over the weekend and thought they were pretty rad. See anything you recognize in the Leader video?

We just received a full size run of DeBernardi’s Steel track frame. They are fully lugged construction, of Columbus Thron Tubing. Made in Italy. Perfect if you are looking for something a little nicer than an IRO Mark V, EAI Brassknuckle, or Soma Rush The frameset will sell for $730.
Two more used bike for your viewing and buying pleasure. Come and get ‘em! They’re tight and white. Like underwear.
It’s done! Blackwell has finished his new Sycip road fixed gear. Built up similar to your “standard” track bike but with some nice twists that class it up a bit. Damn nice build Blackwell.
I’m gonna let Blackwell tell you how and why he built his new bike the way he did:
PARTS:
I wanted a bike that could take on different kinds of builds to satisfy my fickle bike taste. The homies at Sycip were more than willing to set me up with the new whip. It has the lines of a basic Sycip track frame but has the clearance for 28c tires, cable stops, and Jeremy brazed fender eylets as well. Its current build up is set for nerdy training kinda stuff and doubles as a overdone everyday rider. I plan on getting some honjo fenders for some rainey day shreddin! I’m super stoked to finally own a bike from these guys, they totally rule! Word on the street is that they will be moving to Berkeley… back to the bay! If your thinking about going custom, Jay and Jeremy get a thumbs up. NORCAL!!!!!!!!
