Jack just messaged us some pictures of his newest project, a custom painted Yorkshire rose Aerospoke.

What makes this extra special is that it’s not vinyl, the whole design has been hand masked and painted. From what started as a stock, white Aerospoke is now black with custom a design!

Loving this wheel and our resident Yorkshireman Matt expressed his like for this wheel when i showed it to him aswell. Nice one Jack, looks sick!

See more of the project wheel on his facebook.

I’d heard the name before but never actually knew the full story behind him, then after watching ‘The Flying Scotsman’, Graeme Obree has turned into a proper inspiration to me. A cycling legend.

Winner of 2 World Championships and the holder of the World Hour Record TWICE. He’s got a new book out called ‘The Obree Way’ and he’s holding a signing at the opening of a brand new cycling shop, just up the road from us this Saturday.

The Green Jersey looks like a great place and i’ve heard great things about this cafe/shop and i’m excited to go see it for myself this Saturday.

If you’re interested in coming along, get in touch. We’ll be riding over for 11am. Click through to see some photo’s of The Green Jersey interior and cafe. Also, follow Graeme Obree and The Green Jersey on twitter, and check out their websites. Graeme / The Green Jersey.

Restrap are fast approaching their second birthday… THE BIG 2! and to celebrate this occasion they’re holding an Alleycat, Skid Comp, Trackstand comp and some film screenings over in Leeds on Saturday 3rd March.

This will be a properly awesome event, i can’t wait. It’s a fiver (£5) to enter and every entry gets a free limited edition t-shirt.

The plan is to meet at the Henri Moore institute for registration at 1.30pm with the race aiming to get started at 2.30pm. The after party and film screenings of BOIKZMOIND, To Live and Ride in L.A and the premiere of the new Restrap video will be starting at 8pm in Hukaz.

Loads of great sponsors for this event including us. You can follow more about the Restrap birthday over on their blog, the Fixed Gear Leeds blog and sign up to the facebook event here.

Hope to see you there!

It’s competition city around the internet at the moment, with our Ass-Saver competition, the 14bikeco comp and now a chance to win FixedAndWhat’s very own Andy Cooke’s ESB.

This bike looks crazy… i love a well stickered up bike and you can’t get many more onto Andy’s.

Anyway… head on over to the facebook group here, and send Andy £25 for a raffle ticket… wait till the winner is chosen… BOOM! potential new bike.

Easy! Oh and, more pictures of this ride on click through.
