The RoundUp: Monday Morning in Fixed Gear

Happy Memorial Day to all. Hope you've thrown a rear rack on that whip and strapped the ol' Weber Smokey Joe on the back for the old school Tom O'Hara rolling barbeque. Just make sure you're using a lined RE Load for the ice! (RELoad's legendary April Fool's Race has been postponed again, probably mid-June)
Since I've got a rare day off, and I still wake up insanely early, let's see what's going on in the Fixed Blogosphere...



Our gal, Pandalicia, lady ripper, has probably already whipped out the credit card for this tee...

Flickr set here, you've gotta drop a line there to get one.



In a post over at Trackosaurus, we get our weekly dosage of the Vuh-Jeen, straight from the Giro...

They've also got a pic up of the new Velocity B43's:



Of more interest to me in that photo is the DMR fork on the bike. Many of the Scorchers have been switching over to the DMR, and Justin at Amity Bicycle (Selden St. Woodbridge) has been ordering them by the dozen.




Speaking of Velocity, you should throw their blog on the ol' RSS reader. They've always got the neatest stuff, including this Rat Rod Tricycle...




Tony Tyrant's been playing in the dirt an awful lot lately, building his own trail network...

Velocity Chukker -- the new wheel

A while back, we found out about a new project Velocity was working on that would rival the H-Plus-Son rims that were storming the market. Apparently, that wasn't the only thing they were working on. Friday, on the Velocity blog they gave us a peek at their newest creation, the Chukker.






Anodized colors and non-machined sidewalls to keep the cost down, with 26" and 700c sizing. They're referring to it as a "Deep V on steroids". It definitely appears beefier, let's hope it can stand up to some good abuse.

Velocity Plus Son

Not to be outdone Velocity is getting ready to drop new rims that will be 1mm deeper than H Plus Son's Formation Face and SL42 rims.

The lowdown from Velocity's President John Black:

"If all goes as planned, they should be readily available this spring....I hope. It is called the B43, because it is 43mm tall, making it 1mm taller than our very worthy and formidable competition. We were thinking of calling it the Brisbane 43, but decided that was too much so we shortened it to the B43. Then we discovered that was a nuke that was in the US arsenal, so I guess the name has a bit of a dual meaning."

Velocity to sponsor summer series

We're psyched to have Velocity as our newest sponsor for the summer race series -- Grand Theft Velo, Route One, and Kings of New England.



These suckers take a beating and live to tell about it...
