I had a lovely time in Paris this weekend!
Will post (sponsor free) pics and edits asap on my own blog and a few here at FUCCIT.

Thanks to Selle Royal Origins for making this trip possible!

First spotted by @Fietskoerier030′s twitteraccount, I came across this nice video of Tim Wheatley, he’s a british animator working and studying in falmouth cornwall.

Selle What?

The NAHBS (North American Handmade Bicycle Show) is going on right now in Austin Texas, so pics of all kinds of bike are going all over the world wide web…
So on Hipster Nascar I found a pic of the Selle Royal Origins booth. I’m getting sponsored by them, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think that their booth looks like shit…
I know the Origins line are re-makes of their 70′s saddles, but this looks like a bad scene from an even worse tv show called the 70′s show. I don’t get it. The styling of the Origins website is cool (in my opinion), so why not use that styling on your booth?

Some of you might have thought that I’m a Selle Out Royal (I’ll make the joke for you), but I hope to show you I still got an opinion that I won’t hide…

Planet Bike – Blinky Super Flash Turbo

MalleT — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 10:00:15 +0000

Another “Safety First” post.
I found the review of this tail light at the Urban Velo blog. It’s an update version of the old Planet Bike Super Flash, and according to UV, it’s a tail light worth it’s money. I don’t know if they can beat the old school HEMA lights, but their review is good…

Swarm – Nectar Seat Clamp / Bottle Opener

MalleT — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 10:00:00 +0000

Finally a bike part that could have been invented by FUCCIT! Swarm is bringing you the Nectar, a hybrid between a seat clamp and a bottle opener. I like!

First seen on Pedal Consumption.

BIKND: The Helium Bike Case

MalleT — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 09:00:44 +0000

Today I found out about the BIKND Helium bike case, and I really like the idea! Say goodbye to bended or broken parts after you get them of the plane or of the bus. The bike case has all kinds of nice features to protect your frame, wheels and parts. And the best feature are the inflatable side pockets that protect everything.

And it’s big enough to store your 29er wheels, which is handy if you ride FGFS on 700c wheels, like me.

Downsides of this bike case are the fact that when there’s no bike in it, it’s still fuccing huge and the fuccing huge price: $599,-

If you have the space to store it and the money to spend on it, get it from the BIKND webshop.

PFIX, Medium V2 Build

MalleT — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 18:30:33 +0000

It’s been around the blogs, but I found it on the Slumworm blog the first. It’s the Medium sized PFIX (Specialized’s fixed division) V2 complete build.

I’ve never made a secret of me not liking 26″ in FGFS, but I have to admit I like the looks of this bike…
Most 26″ FGFS bike just look kinda wrong in my opinion, but this is one of the first 26″ complete builds I could see myself ride…

I know, it’s scary; me being 700c for life, saying I could ride a 26″ bike…
