Rumors may be just that, but I admit am super excited by these:
Ran into the pic of the white cages on hkfixed, but I believe this was first dropped on the very cool 84 Blog a few weeks back. A durable plastic design would mean the end of bent and broken cages and hopefully a more comfortable interface. Look for Starf***ers frames and products, including these cages when they become available, very soon as we fire up our online store!
The guys over at DEPT/DRIF just dropped some photos of a little project called Geek Garage on their blog. If I could read the Japanese, I would happily translate – good thing a picture is worth a thousand words.

Hong Kong super-retailer, D-mop, celebrates 20 years of buisness with a trendy fixed-gear.

The well rounded Japanese apparel/sneaker designer, Mihara Yasuhiro, was the mind behind this – meaning I probably can’t afford it. Luckily, the images are free, so here you go:
Japanese bike brand, Inzist Bicycle, stepped out of their BMX comfort zone and teamed up with Wisconsin’s Waterford Cycles to produce a track frame. They forgot to tell someone to skip over the drilling of the fork, other than that, its a finely detailed frame. Check out the frame and Nervex-styled lugging below. We also came across some Paparazzi-shots of Inzist BMX team rider on the velodrome – don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone, Kenji. Here’s the frame:
No matter how many times I watch the video I still go “Damn!” Fresh from John Prolly’s excellent site.
