My good buddy Matt Blevins, owner of Blevins Bicycle Co., is building up a sweet fixed gear Pake frame. Which will include Zipp handlebars/ wheels, Brooks saddle, Alpha Q Carbon fork (“Best forks ever made” – Blevins) and Thomson Masterpiece seat post/stem. I’m pretty sure that the Wheels with be built with White Industries hubs and Sapim CX-ray spokes.
Here is a picture of how the Alpha Q Fork started out.

I love All City Cycles. They build, ride, and create from the heart. It’s what they love to do. On top of that, they make a kick ass product! I love their clean, simple, classic lines. They are definitly on my list of frames to buy.

Check THIS beauty out. It caught my eye when I saw the Paul Cantilevers on PollyIsNotProbably.com
This isn’t very fast at all. Thanks @TimoStark

TRAFIK does a phenomenal job promoting fixed gear riders around the world. “We were stoked when To Live & Ride in L.A. premiered in London and Preston earlier this year. Now that it’s on UK iTunes, we hope the entire Kingdom will watch it (we’re talking to you Scotland!)” – TRAFIK. Spreading bike love around the world.

Thanks to Prolly I have now see some of the most beautiful track bikes on the planet. Check out Nico’s Flying Bikes for more beauty’s!
I’m brand new at competitive cycling. I’m going to compete in the spring in some event somewhere. That’s about all the thought I’ve put into it so far. Right now I’m riding my 18lbs Surly CrossxCheck as much as I can between two jobs. Commuting/Rollers are my best friends. The cold does not bother me so much as the wet Alabama winters. Luckily I have guys like @BlevsBicycleCo., @TimoStark and @MattWinstead (follow these guys on Twitter) to give me pointers and provide some awesome gear. I can’t forget other sweet sites like ProllyIsNotProbably.com, MashSF.com, PolerStuff.com, Trafik L.A. and KyleSteed.com to build inspiration and motivation.
Not the best photo. I’ll provide better ones later.
ProllyIsNotProbably.com just posted about his visit with Bicycle Revolutions in Philly. Very cool shop! If I’m in the area I will definitely drop by. What caught my eye is the sweet Surly CrossxCheck featured on the second photo. I absolutely love my Surly! Check out the post HERE
