Chris Igleheart calls his new bicycle the “Trail Poacher,” a fat-tire bike for riders who like the drops. It’s a cyclocross bike frame with clearance for wider tires and disc brakes, perfect for scoping out that rocky zombie trail you’ve … Continue reading

Dateline: Saturday night. Bike run over by a VW bus at Providence CX. Tiny Russian’s heart crushed.
So I took this bike fixed it. I sawed off the front end (bent part), and replaced it with a new front. Happily painted by John Bowe of Underground Cycles, PPG application of Team Hotlime Green. Matt Roy laid his hands upon it as the master mechanic that he is, and solved all mechanical problems.
Also thanks to Scott Glowa for fixing the wheel, with help from Mavic.
Tiny Russian’s heart mended.
Natalia Boltukova's folded bike after 2011 Providence CX.
This is my Sturmey Archer S3X, 3 speed fixed gear, all rounder road machine tested and proven over 77 miles of Oregon’s finest offerings of road surface at the Manifest builders show. What a hoot! This is a Ritchey Breakaway frame and is my go to bicycle. I love having the fixed gear in three ratios. Endless fun!
So it’s all coming together here before the show.
The big surprise is the Driven NRZ road group that was sent over from our friends at Sunrace/Sturmey Archer. Boy is this some nice equipment. I have some pictures that Jim my build-kit assembler has taken. Let’s get his take too. “I can see this being competitive with the Dura-Ace or for the cynics Ultegra for sure. Looks to be top shelf all the way. A nice alternative to the ever increasing price tags on the usual fare. A budget conscious racer would appear to be well served on this kit. We’ll see for sure if I can sneak this on to my bike after the show!”
Until that happens this NRZ kit will be residing on one of the Cambridge Bicycles cyclo-cross team frames. This is going to look sharp. Exciting stuff!!!!!

Cranks and rear derailleur.
This is a very trick cassette. SRAM-esque with the unit machined as two pieces but out of 7075 aluminium with a ceramic coating for wear protection. Two top cogs together and the remaining eight cogs are impressively light and an amazing bit of machining.
