GO check out more greatness from Chris McNally, like now!

(Found via Pearl Velo!  Thanks for sharing fellas!!)

I had the opportunity to hang out with Jory in his bike repair mobile.  Very unique set up this fellers got!

Along with his solid set up, he’s got a loud sound system that makes me dance.  If you like to dance, and are in the Northern Alabama area, you should come hang out! 

Make sure to check out Southern Carnage and give Jory some love!

WOWZA! 

Matt “hitting a curb cut to wallride” in style!

Go to WHEELTALK for more.

DUDE!

The rucksack to end all rucksacks!  I’d love to put this guy to the test.

This weatherproof rucksack will be with you till the end (of your life… literally). Mission Workshop stands by their American made products with a lifetime warranty.

“Limited edition AP Series Sanction rucksack built with a waxed cotton twill canvas and a lightweight VX ripstop liner. This edition features both standard and red Arkiv closure buckles with liners to match.

The AP Sanction also features YKK urethane coated zippers, waterproof materials, an internal frame sheet and an optional waist belt. A large interior zippered pocket fits up to 15in laptops. Five other pockets of varying size round out this versatile backpack. Made in the USA with a lifetime warranty.” – Mission Workshop

Le bad ass!  Night lurkers be informed. The Chrome Bravo now comes in this very visible, very solid M3 reflective brilliance.  A thing of beauty really. Safety without lacking any style points or function.  It’s only $20 more than the non safety havin Bravo (DISCLAIMER: You can still be safe with the non-reflective Bravo… duh!), which is pretty great considering the size of the reflective goodness on the back of this guy.  Forget your lights? Not a problem, you have a massive reflective bag!

Go to Chrome and check’em out for yourself! They just went live 30 minutes ago!!  I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Really great write up on Cogzilla of the 2013 Alleycross race in Birmingham, AL.

Initially had plans to go and race in this 30ish mile alleycross style race… but then I decided to bust open my palms and have yet to get back on a bike (blah blah blah excuse excuse excuse).  Nevertheless, I’m really pumped that the Cogzilla crew hooked up the race with snaps and a write up.  I’m looking forward to next year and hope you fine folk will be in attendance.

“Carbon-fiber bicycle frames have lost their luster. Most are being pumped out like Pez on some far-off production line from a one-size-fits-all mold.” –  Jim Merithew 

Not good ol’ Ben Farver.  He started out working with steel but found to many limitations with the material of the gods… So, he started using alien technology to meet his creative demands and assembled an American made space age speed machine that will benifit the world from now until the end of time.

Head over to WIRED Magazine and check out the other cool words they used to describe Argonaut Cycles.
