I want shiny new parts...
I was browsing the londonfixedgear thread and came across Jol's guide to restoring old dull parts into shiny new ones. The results are amazing. Take a look at what can be done:
Guess what i'm doing this weekend?

fixed gear explosion
I was tooling around with photoshop and made this jazz. Makes for a pretty cool wallpaper. Just double click the image and hit save as.
A love hate relationship.
The all to familiar snapping of my MKS Leather toe clips. I love these clips, don't get me wrong, but here is the low down.
Problems:
1. Too Pliable
2. Leather sewing isn't reinforced
3. Aluminum despite being lighter is weaker than the MKS steel clips.
The Benefits:
1. Leather wrap makes the clips quieter when they clip the ground.
2. The aluminum is lightweight
3. Leather protects one of the main weak point of the clips(where the two metal pieces connect to the base).
4. The leather acts as a cushion between my shoes and the metal on the clips.
Conclusion: Despite running through these clips in a few months, I will continue to buy them at the steep price of $20. Now that it is summer and the salt is gone, I may try the MKS steel toe clips with leather and see how they perform. Did I mention how classy they look on my bike?
New site over @ IRO
IRO's newly redesigned site is gnarly.
They have completely reorganized everything and added a ton of flash to their website making it a somewhat exciting to look at. Go check it out, there is even a "build a bike section," rad!

Kirk Mastin : Photography
Kirk Mastin is a photographer based out of Coeur D'Alene, Idaho that specializes in outdoor photography. Why am I blogging him you ask? Cause he takes gnarly photos of people and bikes. These photos are from Fast Fridays, out in Seattle, WA. Also, check out the footage he caught of the Lake Union Alleycat Race.
