Coppi Tribute Jersey

Nice vintage design/modern materials for this Fausto Coppi tribute jersey from Prendas/Santini. I need to get one of these so I can fool myself into thinking I'm riding l'Eroica everyday. Available at Prendas.

We'll always love you, Sean. You were one of the best, and you'll be missed more than you could know.
Stay gold...

Shutting down the blog for a while.

Obree Hour Attempt Off

Sad news over on Bike Radar, where cycling legend and multiple world record holder Graham Obree has confirmed that he won't be making a new attempt on the World Hour record after all. The Scottish cyclist said that after his homemade bike, which had been performing excellently on the road, proved too uncomfortable to ride on the banking during trials at the Manchester velodrome, he was forced to concede defeat. Still, the guy is an absolute legend, and deserves way more recognition than he gets.

Team Pegasus

Great photo by Chris of Matt waving the Pegasus flag at a cross race this weekend. Check out his flickr for more photos of Pegasus cross action, and photos of other teams, 'cos we don't discriminate.

Oh man, this is gonna be good...

If "Blonde Ambition" didn't scratch your itch for a major motion picture with messengers, Columbia Pictures has a treat in store for you. According to a couple online movie sources, David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Mission Impossible, Spiderman, etc) is working on a big budget NYC bike messenger action movie.

'Premium Rush' follows a courier who picks up an envelope at Columbia University ("premium rush" referring to the type of delivery service, we're sure, and not, say, caffeine jitters). A dirty cop who's desperate to get his hands on the envelope is in hot pursuit of our hardworking hero, delivering chase sequences to rival 'The French Connection,' Variety reports.

Hmmm. Sounds riveting.

No word as to whether or not the soundtrack will be scored by Geddy Lee...

Thanks to Sage Brown for the heads up!

good find

Six Eleven Cycles

Aaron's too modest to do it, so I thought I'd post up a few photos of the cross frame he built for fellow Pegasus teammate Andrew Yeoman. It's beautiful, and I want one. Badly.

“Lance’s Tequila Bike For Girls.”

From Selectism:

Last week the STAGES show opened a three-week stay at the Deitch Projects gallery in New York. I had a chance to attend the opening and take a closer look at some of the pieces. In addition to the works of KAWS, Ed Ruscha, Shepard Fairey and more, New York street-art legend Futura also had a piece that joined the exhibition in New York. I spent a lot of time walking around looking at all the various pieces. There was a nice mix of paintings, photos, and sculptures. One piece that I kept coming back to was Tom Sachs’ object-art piece “Lance’s Tequila Bike For Girls.” It was a mixture of creativity, humor, and ingenuity that I loved. The bike was prominently displayed in the middle of the floor, so that you could walk around it on all sides and enjoy every little detail. Every time I walked by I seemed to notice something else.

Absolutely amazing!

Thanks to Ben for spotting it!
