Candy Cranks

The awesome guys at Urban Velo just put out their September issue (#21). It’s now available for online viewing here! Copies should be available in your lbs soon so go pick some up!

This issue also includes an article by John (Prolly) on the continual evolution of fixed freestyle and the 26″ movement. It’s a really interesting read so go check it out!

I meant to post this last week, but better late than never I suppose. My ESB is finally ready. Big thanks to Velocity, Profile, Shop 14, and Super Ted. The full bike check is now posted up on Zlog so go check it out here!

I’ve been running Brev M’s Drop Bars and Track Grips on my Vigorelli lately. These bars are so gorgeous and have a really classic look. The pista grips are awesome, and by far the best track grips I’ve used so far; they’re grippier and have a lot more cushion (they’re significantly more comfortable than the champ grips). Thanks, guys! Check out other great Brev M products here!

Meg made me a hella cute Candy Cranks chainring for my Vigorelli. Thanks so much girl, I love it! You can get your own here!

Well look what finally came… Just a sneak peak, Zlog will have the full bike check once it’s all ready.

You may have caught the announcement on Brev M’s blog already, but if not, I’m excited to announce that I got picked up by Masi/Brev M! There are a lot of great things to come from them in the future, and I can’t wait to be a part of it all. So keep an eye out for everything. I want to thank Tim, Masi, and Brev M for being so great to me! Check out the frame and parts, including their proto trick fork, they sent me! Photos by Keith.

The 5th anniversary of the All City Championship is coming up in the next few weeks. I’m really trying to find a way to make it out to this. More info and full schedule of events at Bike Jerks.

Sorry it took me so long to get to this; the past week has been crazy and subsequently very busy. Anyways, if you somehow haven’t yet heard, La Brakeless held a three day bike event this past weekend called Summer Fix LA. On Saturday there was a huge fixed freestyle comp with hundreds of people in attendance and 39 competing riders (including myself!). I have to say, LA Brakeless did an amazing job with this event. The comp was so incredibly organized and just very well planned out. They really went all out for this, and it made for a seriously great time!

The winners of each group are as follows.
Beginners: Joe
Intermediate: Josh Boothby
Advanced: Wonka, Congo, Spencer (first, second, and third respectively)

I was the only girl who competed so I ended up winning $250 at La Brakeless (Thanks so so much again!). Also, huge thanks to Ben and Cinelli for making it even possible for me to compete! So much love!

Needless to say it was pretty intimidating when I showed up so I actually didn’t register to compete. Midway through the first few rounds while I was just sitting on the sidelines taking photos, my name got called. I was totally shocked, and tried to get out of competing by simply not going out there. However, John (Prolly) was one of the judges and he called me out on it; I swear if he didn’t tell me to get my ass out there I wouldn’t have competed. I am so happy he did though because I really had a lot of fun. Every one there was so incredibly cool and supportive. Seriously, thanks so much for that guys, it really helps!

Check out this video by Ambushe of the Summer Fix LA Fixed Freestyle Comp (put on by La Brakeless). This weekend has been awesome! If you weren’t here you seriously missed out. I’ll give my full recap of the event some time later today (hopefully) so check back for it! Via Prolly.
