Prolly found this vid of the 2010 Bilenky Junkyard Cyclocross, and I like it! The more cyclocross action I see online, the more I want to organize a cyclocross race!

As you might know by now, I’m a coffee freak, coffeeholic, whatever you wanna call it. So I was pleasantly surprised to see these Chris King espresso tampers at Prolly’s. Although I think $75 is WAY too expensive for a tamper, it sure would look cool next to the espresso machine I don’t own…

I’ve been to Berlin and Paris, but after seeing this vid, and trust me, it’s worth the 11 minute watch, I wanna ride in Singapore too! So that’s another city added to my wish list.

Anybody wanna sponsor me?

Found the vid at Prolly.

Prolly found this nice video about the 6 Tagerennen in Zürich.
I’ve never been to a “zesdaagse” but I really want to! Next time there’s one in Holland, I’ll try to go.

I found these pictures of the new Dartmoor Puncher fork at Prolly’s. It looks really nice and rigid build. I’m curious about the build in top cap, coz that means you can’t cut it at the right length, but you’ll have to play around with spacers. If it works, I’ll be a BIG fan, coz I already fucced up several crown nuts…

one of the greatest collaborations- i commissioned my sister to design and paint a disc wheel for the royal h time trial bike. it was debuted at the philly bike expo and featured a full vintage shimano dura ace ax group, 650c front zipp wheel, rear disc, split top tubes, and vitus superarcor main tubes. and an aero monostay. and g.p. wilson stainless dropouts. and a polished look ergostem. it was off the wall. so anyway, janet teams up with her boyfriend and comes up with a disc pattern based on the benham’s ‘artificial spectrum’ top. it’s a black and white image that is designed to, at speeds between 10 and 35 mph, create the illusion of color. but under certain lighting, much more can be seen. the thing came out perfectly and it basically makes the bike. thanks to janet and robby for all their hard work and research into making this disc. contact janet if you’re interested in retrofitting one on your old 1150s- http://www.wix.com/janethollingsworth/design-portfolio

another shot of the disc under a halogen light. it brings out some of the weirder effects. mesmerizing.

I found this post at Prolly‘s, and I really like the graphical effect of the print on the wheel!

The Rustbelt Welding Company is busy with their Project Charlie frame. It’s a 26″ fixed freestyle frame, and I really like the details in the frame. It’s a shame I’m too tall for riding 26″, so I’ld love to see this frame in a 700C version! Although there still might be slightly enough space in the chain stays  to squeeze a 700C wheelset in it…

Found on Prolly.

Prolly found this preview of the 2011 Prohab calender. Despite the fact there’s a good looking lady on it, Prohab is a great non-profit organisation who provide helmets to cyclists in and around Vancouver to reduce casualties with brain damage.
So get this calender!

Most of my days I try to find interesting content for the FUCCIT blog, but after a talk to Le Haute, I got thinking. Of course I can repost every interesting post I find on ZLOG, Prolly or Pedal Consumption, but most of our readers visit those sites on a daily base as well.
This feeling is kinda double, coz I love lurking all the fixed gear blogs and seeing all the new vids, pics and stories. But what do I add by reposting those vids, pics and stories?
I could spend that time with riding or browsing for porn as well…

So you might see slightly less posts from me, the only reposting I´ll do are the REALLY interesting post. Or “original” posts. But then again, nothing is original on the world wide web these days.
