In the world of beausage and bicycles, you’d be hard pressed to find a better catalyst than a street-racing track bike. Or even a bike messenger’s work horse. When you combine the two... This Legor Cicli track bike was first featured here back in 2011 at NAHBS in Austin. Originally owned by John Taki and was just recently passed down to Chas, it’s seen its share of street wear and tear. Fit with Omnium cranks, a 44RN camo chainring and Essor wheels, it has the mean stance of a race machine, with a lot of that special pista patina we’ve…

Flat Mount Klamper

We think this is the best mechanical disc brake on the market, machined by us here in Chico, California. Flat-Mount Klampers are available in Short-Pull (SRAM/Shimano), Long-Pull, or Campagnolo Pull.

Technical Information

What is Cable Pull?

Short Pull, Long Pull or Campagnolo? ↓

Short Pull: This version is designed to work with road levers, including SRAM, Shimano and combined shifter/brake levers. It also works great with the Canti Lever, our short-pull flat bar brake lever.

Long Pull: This version is designed to work with long-pull brake levers, such as the kind that work with V or linear-pull brakes. Our Love Levers work especially well with this model. It also works well with long-pull drop bar levers, such as the Cane Creek Drop V.

Campagnolo: Campy uses a super-short cable pull, so this Klamper uses a super short Campy-only actuator arm.

Exploded Assembly Drawing

Will it fit my bike?

Product Story

It took 3 years of in-house development before the Klamper met all of our extremely high goals. We wanted absolute reliability, easy adjustability, and field serviceability. We wanted super strong stopping power but without hydraulic fluid and fussy bleed kits. After countless drawing revisions, fine tuning of piston design and bearing ramp profiles, and probably 20 prototypes, we nailed it, and the Klamper has quickly become a cult classic.

What's the secret sauce? We don't want to give away all our engineering secrets, but the bulk of our power comes from using oversized ball bearings, and machining our pistons from 12L14 steel. Using this steel alloy allows us to heat treat the pistons which also hardens the bearing ramp races to resist pitting for a lifetime of silky smooth lever pull. Using flat needle roller thrust bearings instead of a plastic thrust washers doesn't hurt either.

These brakes are perfect for long mileage deep wilderness bike touring where field serviceability with nothing but a good multitool is crucial to getting back to civilization alive. They're also great on cyclocross race bikes where tool free independent pad adjustment and a simple cable barrel adjuster means you can fine-tune brake feel specific to course and conditions. We constantly see them on custom built steel hardtails and gravel grinder shred sleds where a rider wants the proven quality of as many American made components as possible.

As with our I.S. Mount Klamper, the Flat-Mount version features interchangeable actuator arms.

We decided not to make rotors. That's a manufacturing process we do not do, and they are readily available. Floating rotors with large buttons (like Hope) might rub against the caliper, but we've had great results with Shimano Ice-Tech, Sram, Avid, and most other rotor brands. The pads we supply are Kool Stop sintered metallic.

As always, allow a couple short rides to bed in the pads. Around the 3rd ride, these brakes really start to BITE!

Replacement pads can be found HERE.

Mounting hardware length is dependent on frame design and adapter, thus not included, but available HERE.

Our monthly email is an ongoing bike conversation for creative people who spend a lot of time in their garage.

Belt Drive vs. Chain

To start this review of, let's first consider the pros and cons of a belt drive bike system compared to the OG chain set-up. Since I'm a big single-speed fan (read: balls not big enough to ride a fixie in the Amsterdam bike traffic), I'll focus on advantages and disadvantages when it comes to single geared bicycles.

This is my first belt-driven bike and what lured me into the world of belt drives is mainly the promise of a low maintenance and quiet riding. Since belts have no moving parts, there is less friction, thus less sound & more power. Moreover, they are lighter compared to a regular chain and do not require any lubrication (wink).

When it comes to cons, they do raise the price of the bike and require the frame to be split since they are made of one continuous loop of carbon. The split frame can become dangerous in high speed, especially after a lot of wear, however with a quality manufacturer, this concern should be basically mitigated.

So to summarize, belt system is lighter, faster, quieter, less maintenance heavy but also requires a split frame and falls into the Supreme price category (for geared bicycles it also requires internal gearing).

All the teeth and no oil, how beautiful?!

Weak Market Offering

Even though it seems like belt drives are the perfect fit for single-speed/fixed gear bicycles, the market offering is thus far quite low. I've been searching for several weeks till I found a single-speed belt-driven bike that has high enough gear ratio for flat commute, costs reasonably OK money and doesn't look like it comes from a sci-fi movie ( example).

The official Gates Carbon Drive website lists all brands and manufacturers that use their system, however the list doesn't offer sophisticated enough filtering options (yet). Therefore, it's lot of clicking and browsing through different small manufactures until you find something that fits your design and performance preferences. Nevertheless, it's most probably the best resource I encountered when it comes to finding your belt-driven bike online.

My Booda Bike Specs

Okay, now to the 'meat' of this blog post. Why Booda Bike? Well, for me it was because of their minimalist design, high specs and favorable price-to-quality ratio.

The model I chose is Booda Bike Pilot: The Urban Cruiser featuring belt-drive (duh...), hydraulic disc brakes and carbon fork. Moreover, it weights only impressive 8.73 kgs and offers an aggressive geometry perfect for when you are late to school, work or a date. On top of this, it comes with Challenge Paris-Roubaix 27 VCL tires which seem to grab the pavement by their teeth and hold very nicely in turns.

As for the price, the basic set-up (no lights or fenders) comes to be a quite steep 1,240€. This might seem like a lot for a single-speed, however, with this level of quality, it is a totally reasonable figure. Plus, I'm hoping to ride it for at least 3 years (basically daily) and so I treat it as a long-term investment into my commuting comfort and enjoyment. The time will tell whether it was a worthy investment.

Hiplok D-lock is kind of a must with this expensive beast!

First Impressions?

Okay, sounds like a sleek bike, does it also deliver though? In my opinion (after about 2 weeks worth of daily commuting) it certainly does! It's extremely light compared to my previous bike (~11.5kg) and the difference in the weight is stunning. As it is lighter, it seems to be much more reactive even to subtle turns of handlebars and the weight also helps with faster acceleration. The belt, obviously, plays its role in acceleration and power as well. Extremely low friction and high belt tension make one feel like Vettel in F1 when overcoming grandmas on their Oma Bikes.

What's even better is no oily parts and no dirty hands when the bike needs a quick clean after the usual rainy commute in Amsterdam. The hydraulic brakes also brake wonders and thus far seem to be superior to usual rim brakes. Again, time will tell how spongy/soft they'll get and what maintenance will they require.

Lastly, geometry. The aggressive front lean certainly gives you power, however, with a backpack full of stuff, it also puts quite some strain on my elbows. I often find myself re-adjusting my riding position due to a perceived discomfort in my elbows after couple of kilometers. Looking at it retrospectively, I would maybe reconsider purchasing the Booda Bike Player (940€), which features the same components, however, promises a little more laid back geometry of the frame.

Conclusion?

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Belt-driven bikes are epic,
Get Booda Bike too!

The SCRAM is designed for the titans that eat a bowl of gravel for breakfast. We have tried to offer you the best of both worlds by creating a gravel bike that is as fast as a racer and as agile as a MTB. Pieter van der Marel, designer of the SCRAM, has spared no expense in showing off the elegant titanium look. All brake and shifter cables are nicely concealed and run internally through the frame. Another striking point of this gravel racer are the wishbone seat stays. This not only gives a unique appearance, but also brings more stability to the rear part of the bike.

The Colorado Trail is one of the longest, more arduous, yet most rewarding bikepacking routes in the US. During a small window in the summer, the snow clears to unveil an epic high altitude through-ride on some of the best trails in the Rocky Mountains. In fact, at over 500 miles in length, the Colorado Trail packs more sublime singletrack than you're ever likely to have ridden in one sitting...

The Colorado Trail is one of the premier, long distance bikepacking trails in the US. It travels through the incredible Colorado Rocky Mountains amongst peaks, glacial lakes, creeks, and a spectacular array of ecosystems. The trail dramatically rises and falls with an average elevation of 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) and tops out above 13,000 feet (3,962 meters), just below Coney Summit. It is a through route, or point-to-point, stretching almost 500 miles from the dusty southern Colorado town of Durango, to Denver (Littleton to be exact). It is commonly ridden in the opposite direction, however the 2015 Colorado Trail Race used the south to north course.

The Colorado Trail flows through eight mountain ranges, six wilderness areas, five major river systems, and six National Forests. Bicycles are prohibited in each of the six Wilderness Areas; it is against federal regulations. Thru-cyclists are required to detour around each of the Wilderness areas.

Difficulty

We've awarded this route a 9 as it's undoubtedly one of the harder long distance bikepacking routes on the site. Trail conditions are often technical, with steep, rocky, rooty climbs and numerous thrilling, babyhead strewn or staircase-like descents. Elsewhere, the going is easier; much of the route is characterised by flowy singletrack and gravel roads. Although resupply points are well endowed, the journey between them is often extremely remote. There's altitude to contend with and storms in the summer monsoon season; the latter requires strategic planning and an understanding of the terrain ahead. Depending on the time of year, water is relatively easily sourced, which takes one logistical piece out of the puzzle.

Allow between 8-18 days for the trip, depending on your pace and skill level. Given that the most popular time to ride the Colorado Trail is during the summer - home to the monsoon season - pace will often be dictated by afternoon storms, so factor this into your timing and make sure you're below treeline when one hits. This is particularly the case in the second half of the ride - from Spring Creek to Durango,where the weather tends to be most variable and there are long sections of above treeline exposure. Allocating two weeks to complete the ride provides a buffer for inclement weather, the opportunity to sample the products of the many breweries along the way, take some half days off, enjoy a good campspot, swim in rivers, and maybe even pause to fish along the way. More rest makes for fresher legs... which results in the trail being more rideable and enjoyable than it might otherwise be! At the other end of the spectrum, there are those who ride the CT straight through, with barely a break... the fastest of whom finish in under 4 days.

Hike-a-bikes

Hike-a-bikes are part and parcel of the Colorado Trail experience. As a rough approximation, we consider the trail to be over 90 per cent rideable - note that this is in time, rather than mileage. But appreciate that this will vary greatly between riders, depending on their skillset, how much gear they are carrying, the freshness of their legs, the weather, and how well acclimatised they are (see comments below). Although numerous, for the most part hike-a-bikes on the CT are relatively short, though there are a number of longer stretches to contend with too - be comfortable pushing or carrying your bike. Heading in a westerly direction, the second half of the ride, from Buena Vista to Durango, broadly speaking features more challenging terrain, with riding that becomes increasingly rocky and more technical. But it's easy to let the mind dwell on what's not rideable... just remember that for the vast majority of the time, the Colorado Trail's singletrack is incredibly flowy, fast, rambunctious, and fun!

See Trail Notes for an overview of each section between resupply points. Note that the Ride With GPS map below includes main resupply points and some key water sources along the way. However, The Colorado Trail Databook is well worth carrying, as it breaks the ride down in manageable segments, listing resupply points, water access, campsites, and passes.

As the leading creator and publisher of bikepacking routes, BIKEPACKING.com endeavors to maintain, improve, and advocate for our growing network of bikepacking routes all over the world. As such, our editorial team, route creators, and Route Stewards serve as mediators for route improvements and opportunities for connectivity, conservation, and community growth around these routes. To facilitate these efforts, we rely on our Bikepacking Collective and the greater bikepacking community to call attention to critical issues and opportunities that are discovered while riding these routes. If you have a vital issue or opportunity regarding this route that pertains to one of the subjects below, please let us know:

Unmatched, pristine, high-altitude singletrack. And miles and miles of it!

Dazzling displays of wildflowers in the spring and early summer. Insane fall colors in late Sept.

Traversing a rich diversity of alpine scenery, high desert, grasslands, and interesting mountain towns.

Fun, quirky, and history-rich resupply points, like Leadville and Silverton.

Beautiful campspots and rivers to cool off in.

Visiting breweries along the way - the CT isn't just about riding!

Snow is the biggest factor on deciding when to attempt the CT. Most years the snow has melted by early July making it possible to pass in its entirety from July-September. However, it is not uncommon to experience a stray snow early or late in the season. Expect lingering snow fields if riding at the beginning of the season.

Weather is another major consideration. During the prime riding season, it is also monsoon season and it's fairly common to experience rain, hail, and severe lightening. Prepare accordingly. Plan to be off high passes and below treeline by mid afternoon.

Temperatures can take a dramatic swing at higher elevations. Prepare for chilly temps at night, especially in late September. A 24 degree (-5c) bag is not a bad idea. The less your body works to stay warm at night the better rest you will get.

Bear in mind that as the days go on, fatigue is likely to set in - so plan for your food and distances accordingly.

The Colorado Trail has an average elevation of over 10,000 feet (3,048 meters), which shouldn't be taken lightly. Plan ahead and if you are traveling from a location at a lower altitude - if headed east, take a few day rides from Durango to help acclimatise.

There is a high amount of daily elevation gain, coupled with hike-a-bikes (generally short but sometimes extended), so running a light rig will really help

The Colorado Trail is well signposted. However, it's extremely important to carry a GPS/paper maps of some kind, to help navigate the Wilderness Detours, and to offer bail-out options in the event of accidents or emergencies.

Mosquitos can be an issue in some areas. If using a meshless tarp, bring some mosquito spray.

The Colorado Trail Databook is highly recommended, both to support work on the Colorado Trail and to provide in depth information relating to passes, water points, and camping spot.

Recommended bike: The train can be extremely rocky and demanding in places. Given its length, a front suspension is highly recommended, along with the widest tires you can fit. Both full suspension and a Plus-sized hardtail makes ideal options for riding Colorado Trail bike; the latter is especially appealing as it offers framebag space, comfort, and is extremely capable over challenging terrain - all requirements in a bike for enjoying the CT.

Given the steep climbs and number of hike-a-bikes, running a light rig is key, as is appropriate gearing to help with the high altitude riding. It's probably best not to carry a water bottle under the downtube, to make portaging easier.

Wondering what to take? See this post for a suggested packlist.

Although resupply points are relatively frequent, there are several remote and challenging sections, including the moto trail through Sargeant's Mesa and the alpine trails to Silverton. Make sure you carry enough food.

Consider hopping onto the paved climb to Monarch Pass if you want to ride the entire Monarch Crest Trail (amazing singletrack). The other bonus is that you will miss the hike-a-bike along Fooses Creek Trail and have the opportunity to eat at the cafe at the top of Monarch Pass.

It's a good idea to wear bright colors if traveling later in the year, as hunting season begins.

There is both a multitude of wild camping options and designated campsites available throughout the route. The Colorado Trail Databook has each campground noted, and most are maintained by the Colorado Trail Foundation.

There is also lodging available in most of the towns passed along the way, from hostels to motels - in Silverton Blair Street Hostel comes recommended as does theHinsdale Yurt ($20 in the summer) en route to Silverton.

The main resupply points on route are Breckenridge/Frisco, Leadville, Buena Vista, and Silverton. Brekenridge is slightly closer to the trail but Frisco offers a wider selection of options, including Natural Grocers and Wholefoods. For riders aiming to complete the route in around two weeks, there will be maximum of 3-4 days between resupplies, the longest being between Waterford TH and Brek/Frisco, and Buena Vista and Silverton.

The Stagestop Saloon - serving burgers and beer (there's a small convenience store attached) makes a welcome bonus resupply point on the long stint between Denver and Breckenridge/Frisco.

If you're dodging a storm, Copper Mountain's resort has a decent grocery store, plus coffee/donuts.

If you're headed from Durango to Denver, note that Princeton Hot Springs has a very well stocked market, which will be the first chance to resupply since Silverton.

Additional, smaller resupply towns are Teryall, Copper, and Princeton Hot Springs. Do proper research as to what is available and when.

The hardest stretch without resupply is between Buena Vista and Silverton. It includes both the challenging Sargeants Mesa segment and extended high alpine terrain leading to the highest point of the ride. Pack smart!

Water is readily available for most of the route, but there are some legs and times of the year where this may be more challenging, such as the Lost Creek detour, which is relatively hot and dry. As a general rule of thumb, study the data book or your topo map, keep a sharp eye out for creeks and springs, and bring a filtration system. For the most part, 2-3 bottles will be sufficient on a day to day basis - in the wetter, San Juans, less - with the capacity (eg a spare bladder) to carry more when required.

Possible water strategy: Carry a Steripen as a means of quickly purifying your primary and secondary water bottle as necessary. Drink a bottle at each creek that you're thirsty at, and refill immediately. Fill your third bottle for when distances are longer between creeks. This will save considerable weight and ensure you stay hydrated.

Trail Notes for riding from Denver to Durango, unless otherwise notes.

Waterton TH to Breck/Frisco

Georgia Pass has excellent views. Great riding in both directions. Avoid highway 285 (via Bailey) if traveling east to west as there's heavy vehicular traffic and no shoulder. The recommended Lost Creek Wilderness Detour involves a lengthy pavement stretch, but it's quiet and scenic. This detour and be hot and dry. Although Breck is a popular resupply point, Frisco offers a wider variety of food, including healthy options like Natural Grocers and Whole Foods. From there, the trail can be rejoined via the steep and rocky Miners Creek Road. Note that you can also begin in Denver and ride a bike path all the way to the TH at Waterton TH. There are no major hike-a-bikes in this section, just occasional pushes.

Breck/Frisco to Leadville

The main hike-a-bike in this section is up to the scenic Gold Hill, which features steep sections and is likely tro trap late snow, and the ensuing 10 Mile Range. There are further smaller hike a bikes en route to Searle and Kokomo passes.

Leadville to Buena Vista

Easy, mostly dirt roads with a section of pavement. Singletrack sections around Twin Lakes are a blast! Both these towns offer good breweries, a mountain vibe, and plenty of food. No major hike-a-bikes.

BV to Silverton

Hardest section by far, so plan your food wisely. There is a tough hike-a-bike to Foose Creek (possible detour up to Monarch Pass, see Need to Know) and Sargeants Mesa, after Marshal Pass can be hot and slow going, following a rough moto trail. Later, the La Garita Wilderness detour can be relatively dry. The high alpine traverse to Silverton is beautiful but challenging, and involves numerous hike-a-bikes of different lengths -the most hike-a-bikes of the entire CT is in this segment. For rideability purposes, an easier alternative involves dropping down to Pole Creek and then climbing up Stony Pass - the old CT route. Although this misses out some fantastic views, it avoids many of the hike-a-bikes, with a similar amount of overall climbing.

Silverton to Durango

Arguably the best views of the route. Amazing descent into Durango - Indian Ridge is the highlight of the segment. A few short, chunky hike-a-bikes to contend with but largely rideable.

Overall

For the most part, the Colorado Trail is very well marked. However, The Trailside Databook is a must-have for a breakdown of each segment with mileages, elevations, water spots and camp spots. Note - data book gives directions for Denver to Durango, requiring extra brain power going opposite direction. And it doesn't cover the Wilderness detours, so you'll need a map/navigation app or GPS for this.

Plush 29er tyres will rapidly steam roll over everything with a corner grip that will make a muddy WRT a breeze.

The slackened angle gives the perfect balance of comfortable uphill grinding and exciting downhill whooping. Longer wheelbase wonderfully balances precision and handling.

Wide, ovalised top tube gives vertical compliance but lateral stiffness -this also makes it easier to keep your luggage in place when riding over rough ground.

Broken Road's titanium frame is designed for optimum use with 29" wheels but can be swapped out for 27.5 to help you tackle any journey that you thrust upon it. The bigger, fatter wheels go over obstacles better, hold momentum and give enhanced control due to the angling.

Why Pinion?

The pinion version of the Broken Road puts all the moving parts of the gear system out of harm's way and gives an almost silent, well-balanced ride.

It's a low maintenance dream - you can cover 10,000km before you need to think about an oil change. The range of gears is just enormous (600%) and because of the way the gearbox works you can dump all of them in one go if you get caught out at the bottom of a brutal climb. It's an amazing experience.

All the weight of the gears are low and central with a pinion gearbox so handling of the Broken Road Pinion is beautifully balanced and assured.

Sizing

It is important to get the right size bike, if the bike fits it will be faster, more comfortable, and easier to handle. You can also take into consideration the standover height to ensure you pick a bike that will be a good fit. If you measure your inside leg and ensure there is a minimum of an inch from the top tube to your crotch this will give you enough seat post adjustment to find your optimum saddle height.

Over the years, this ride has come to be known as the "Hincapie Loop", after George Hincapie, one of many professional cyclists who has at one time called Girona home. Starting at the stone bridge, we take in Girona's most famous road bike climb, Els Àngels, followed by some speedy descending, to the picturesque medieval village of Monells, where a coffee & cake stop in the beautiful cobbled square is a must. We continue on through some rolling terrain, then up the Santa Pellaia climb - popular among pro athletes because of its soft, steady gradient. Views abound, over the Gavarres natural park, on both climbs. The descent from Santa Pellaia to Cassa de la Selva is fast but fun, and we come back in to Girona from the south, returning to the Barri Vell (Old Town) at the Pont de Pedra (Stone Bridge) where we started.

Berk Lupina Carbon Saddle

Josh Ross

Finally, Josh gets a chance to talk about the Berk Lupina Carbon Saddle.

There have been a few, rare, occasions when I have not had a chance to talk about a product I have tested. This is one of those instances, but it's finally time to share my absolute favourite saddle. It's actually one of the most commented on pieces on my bike, and as I start to get really serious about planning a summer ride of around 450 miles in three days, it's a piece that I have no doubts about. The Berk Carbon Saddle is not just a pretty piece of carbon that's good for grabbing attention, it's also really comfortable. So comfortable that it works just as well on short rides as it does on multiple days of century plus riding.

Jure Berk is the name of a 26-year-old ex-racer from Slovenia. He raced at the national level from around 2009 to 2014, and his results were middle of the pack. What's interesting is what he did after his primary racing days were done. He got passionate about carbon fibre, and started immersing himself in cycling forums. In fact, when I first found references to him online, it was just in casual conversations on cycling forums, and you can see his early designs evolve through those conversations. He tries stuff, he discusses it, and he makes changes.

This is how I've seen some of the most focused, and interesting, products that cater to very specific groups of interest get formed. It tends to produce products that fill a very specific need for a small group of people, and that's exactly what seems to have come about here. Not everyone is going to be interested in a full carbon saddle, but for those who are, this is the best of the best.

Let's walk that statement back just a little, though. There's an assumption there, and I want to point out that it's an unnecessary one. The reason this is a part of my bike that gets tons of comments is because no one thinks it can be comfortable. Cyclists, of all stripes, tend to have it in their minds that a full carbon saddle, with no padding, can't be comfortable. The assumption is wrong, though. The extremely minimal padding that's present on most high-end race oriented saddles does very little, if anything, and the Berk Lupine has taken that a step further by just eliminating the unnecessary excess.

The result is a saddle that weighs only 79 grams, in the 132mm width version, and is still extremely comfortable. Jure Berk has expertly exploited the way that carbon behaves as a material. The inherent carbon flex means that the same effect can be achieved as you would get from a softer saddle with less flex. This isn't just hyperbole either. I've done a few 150 mile days with this saddle, and last year I did my longest ride, so far, at around 210 miles and a bit under 12 hours of pedalling. There were many things that were uncomfortable on those long rides, but I never desired a different saddle.

Because of the nature of a custom-built full carbon saddle like the Berk Lupine, there are also a few other advantages you might not initially consider. A big one is that it can be repaired. At €260.00, it's not a small investment, but unlike other, similarly priced, high-end saddles, if you were to drop your bike in such a way as to create surface damage, someone who is familiar with working with carbon could repair it. It might not be impossible to replace the covering on other saddles, but it's significantly more involved.

The other big advantage is that every Berk Lupine saddle is custom, so you can spec out exactly how you'd like it to look. I went with 3k gloss, however, there are 11 different variations of size, 132mm or 150mm, and styles of carbon on offer. The one question that I do occasionally get which is worth discussing is how slick the surface is without some kind of fabric. Basically, does it cause you to slide around? My answer is no.

It all comes down to fit. When everything fits the way it should, your position should be pretty locked in, so even though the surface of the saddle is slicker than something with fabric, I haven't found it to be an issue. If anything, I actually prefer the ability to move around a bit if I want. There are times when I find myself farther up the nose of the saddle and sliding to the rear is a good way to slightly change up the muscles I'm using. The slick surface of the Berk Lupine makes it really easy to move back when I want to.

As I get farther down the rabbit hole of planning this coming ride, I have a lot of worries. Multiple days of around 150 miles, and with significant climbing, means I have to be prepared. On the other hand, my plan is to ride light and carry the absolute bare minimum. You will likely see a lot of that play out on these virtual pages, and hopefully you will all benefit from me testing equipment in a way that most people will never need to. All that aside, though, one thing I feel rock solid about is my saddle. I've ridden over 12,000 miles on the Berk Lupine saddle and it's never let me down.

Blake Cycling Trucker Jacket - Form Meets Function | Chrome Industries

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This jacket fits better than any other jacket I've ever had. It's nice to have the sleeves and back little long as I'm a lankier dude (and it is nicer riding in the rain). The material is good, it does have a bit of stretch in it but as a fan of natural fibers, I still really love the feel of it.

2018 is an exciting year for us. For the past 8 years, we have designed framesets and components, and in partnership with Cinelli, had the opportunity of distributing them to riders around the world. As the years went on, it became clear to us that we wanted to manage it all, and the experience has been invigorating. For the first time, we are creating and manufacturing these designs independently as MASH, and shaping the designs with every detail we envision in an object. The first frameset offering is our SS Steel design. Born as an all-arounder with racers, workers and commuters in mind, this Columbus steel frameset was developed. As an aggressive SSCX geometry or a well handling track bike, our frame designs are historically aggressive. This one splits the difference by being comfortable with a front rack loaded, tracking well in the dirt, while still responsive on the city streets. PRE-ORDER HERE

Details include:

Columbus Cromor Double Butted Tubing

Straight blade fork with 35mm rake

1 1/8 threadless headset (not included)

27.2 Seat Post

30.0 seat collar with cable hanger

100/120 track hub spacing

BSA english 68 bottom bracket

Two water bottle mounts

Removable Brake Studs

Internal rear brake cable routing

Clears most 38c tires

Frame and fork weight: 2900 grams

Includes nylon plugs to fill brake holes if needed

Top cap, bolt, and star nut included

Frames are built with Columbus Cromor triple butted steel tubing. We love the balance of strength to weight for this set. The Black Chrome finish of the frame is fully chrome plated then coated with a black clear. Over time these painted frames can chip to chrome like many of the classic Italian road bikes. The downtube and rear dropouts are a window to this layer. We offer 5 sizes with subtle geometry updates based on three years of development and testing in the dirt and on streets. Framesets include a removable seat collar and rear cable guide if set up with cantilever brakes.

The silver smoke finish draws inspiration from paint techniques of the early 90's. This metallic silver base with smoke contrast creates a beautiful finish with white artwork on drive-side, and black on the non-drive. Each frame includes the top cap for 1 1/8 threadless stems, the bolt, and star nut. These frames have removable brake studs and internal cable routing. You can run them as lean brakeless street bikes, or set them up with brake options for canti or mini-v options for racing or commuting. The fork includes a brake hole that can be used for mounting a rack, fenders, or long reach caliper.

Our pre-order for both finishes of this frameset are available today, and will begin shipping worldwide at the end of March. If you are in Japan, you can pre-order both designs from Blue Lug in Tokyo. If you are in New York, you will be able to get frames and components from Deluxe Cycles. We do not have any additional dealers at this time, but hope to offer frames to a few new shops as we grow.
PRE-ORDER HERE
Look for new designs in 2018 including front racks, riser bars in alloy and carbon, and toe clips, as well as collaboration projects with Izumi and MKS this spring. We will continue to offer additional frame designs including an aluminum/carbon track frameset this fall.

Thank you for riding with us as we embark on this next journey!
