What happened to the made-for-trick frame by GORILLA? Is this supposed to happen? These double butted Columbus Spirit Niobium Steel frame supposed to be extra tough ain't it? Proves vintage frames are more durable...am I right people?

Paul "Fixed" Smith - When Azmans took turn...
Well known fashion designer Paul Smith seems to have a very wrapping bicycle passion.
Surfin' the web I've discovered his Rapha partnership which provides a fuckin expensive jersey shirt (you have to take out 180 £ to have it!) to celebrate the 2007 Tour de France british departure 
and some gloves (I'm a little bit doubtful about their goodlooking..)
and some gloves (I'm a little bit doubtful about their goodlooking..)
An other interesting collaboration is a great mercian track frames customization set.
All City: Sheriff Star Hubs
Once and a while, precedents inspire beautiful objects and while I'm not saying these are as pretty as the originals, they sure are a wonderful homage to them. The new All-City track hubs add beefiness where it's required and will run you a fraction of the cost of the original Campy hubs, shown on the right. C-Record is still one of the sexiest groupos ever made though! Here comes the sheriff!Wednesday, June 23, 2010

The most expensive bike in the world!!
As of 7 September, the world will never be quite the same again. That is when the Scandinavian design company AURUMANIA will be launching the world’s most lavish and expensive bike.
But it will only be a tiny, exclusive group of people who can become the proud owners of these gold bikes, which each bear a price tag of € 80,000. That’s because only 10 will ever be made, all numbered.
A work of art
These 10 limited-edition bikes represent a cornucopia of delights for any feinschmecker. The designers have employed all the classic principles in their overall appearance, and every detail has been under careful consideration.
Each bike is hand-built, and then plated with 24-carat gold and generously adorned with more than 600 fine Swarovski crystals. The handlebar grips are made of hand-sewn, chocolate-brown leather, and a moulded Brooks leather saddle provides exactly the right nostalgic touch.
The AURUMANIA logo appear stylishly and enticingly on the crossbar, begging to be touched. The crowning glory is the limited-edition number discreetly embossed with gold leaf and set into a leather badge, placed prominently on the front of the bike. No one is left in any doubt that these bikes are unique – one of a kind for one of the very few.
To ensure potential buyers the greatest possible degree of discretion, these gold bikes are exclusively available via www.aurumania.com. They are delivered to the buyer personally using a White Glove Service, in a specially designed packaging that exudes extreme luxury on a par with the golden bike inside.
The first bike in the series has already been sold to a customer in London – a man who wants it to decorate one of the walls in his home. AURUMANIA therefore also designed a special mount for this bike – also made of 24-carat gold, of course. The bike will then be on display, as a work of art in itself.
About AURUMANIA
The brains behind this exclusive gold bike is the Scandinavian design company AURUMANIA. They work solely with the design of visibly extravagant luxury products made using gold, for an exclusive clientele who cannot get enough of this precious metal that really keeps its value. Hence the company name – AURUMANIA also means “pre-occupied with gold”, in the most positive sense imaginable.
This golden ultra-bike is the company’s very first product to hit the market. Before the year is out, it will be followed by several more exclusive, attention-grabbing products. These, too, will only be available via www.aurumania.com.

The Critical Mass is here again! Critical Mass is a bicycling event typically held on the last Friday of every month in over 300 cities around the world. While the ride was originally founded in 1992 in San Francisco with the idea of drawing attention to how unfriendly the city was to cyclists, the leaderless structure of Critical Mass makes it impossible to assign it any one specific goal. In fact, the purpose of Critical Mass is not formalized beyond the direct action of meeting at a set location and time and traveling as a group through city or town streets on bikes.

Yellow Bike Company
This is not another fixed gear shopping blog, this is a blog for The Yellow Bike Company. Where the bike has been, the places where the bike and the group always ride and the visual the bike has seen. Not forgetting the phases the bike has changed. Nothing serious. Just another dude, riding another bike...read on.
It all started with nothing in mind, no one to talk to. Just ideas from different angles. Inspired by the Yellow Cab Co. in New York, where most of the fixed gear cyclist was famously born, Yellow Bike Company got its name. Physically ready, the Yellow Bike Company starting to create a name and identity by riding with a lot of folks around Kuala Lumpur and out of town. No tricks, no speeding, just riding with a lot of passion for fixed gear...
