Chrome: MY FOOTS Photo Contest
Apr/28/2010 Archived in: Apr 2010
Following up from their Turds For Gold promotion where Chrome shipped out over 5,000 pairs of free shoes all over the globe, they now want to see how folks will live in them. Between now and August 1st, take a photo of yourself in your new Chrome shoes and send it to myfoots[at]chromesf.com. The photo can document your daily life, be humorous or ridiculous. Most importantly, it should say something about you. In August, the Chrome staff will vote on the top four submissions. A staff member will then visit each of the finalists’ hometowns, hook them up with some Chrome goods and photograph them to be featured in a Chrome ad campaign later this year.

Chainvetica
Apr/27/2010 Archived in: Apr 2010
Spotted @ Prolly’s.
Chainvetica does the math your PBR addled brain cannot. Given the tooth count of your chainring and cog, it calculates gear inches -- an ancient formula designed to sum up just how hard it's going to be turn over the cranks on your fixed gear. The more inches you're running, the harder it is to push. Use it to pick your cog. Use it to quantify the power of your massive quads. As an added bonus, Chainvetica also calculates your speed at a cadence of 90 rpm. Your skinny jeans will make 90 rpm exactly "as fast as you can pedal" so basically, this app also calculates your ride's top speed without all the bourgeois cables and stuff.

Six body measurements (height, inseam, sternum, arm length, foot length, and shoulder width) allow for an accurate computation of the best geometry.

“So I have had these for over 2 months now, and boy are the awesome. They have proven to be super durable and most importantly comfortable. I have had zero problems with them, and the adjustment is perfect for me. I also like that although I got white, they aren't that dirty yet even with the terrible weather.” –Tyler (Resistant)

Cinelli x MASH Prototype
Apr/20/2010 Archived in: Apr 2010
Box Dog Bikes snapped a few pics of Walton’s new Cinelli x MASH prototype. So far, it will have a higher BB and longer top tube.
"Our goal is to offer two separate Cinelli geometries for 2011. The current street geometry, and an even more aggressive track. The more aggressive frame will offer some special details, and sit at a slightly higher price point for that design. 2011, and no sooner. This is the downside to instant internet information. It makes waiting, feel even longer… We are incredibly happy with the current production model, and want to offer something to a different customer with this additional adjustment." – MASH

Spotted this worn out 25c Randonneur on Tracko. When I first heard the Rando would be offered in 25c... I thought this would be a great front tire. As a rear tire... I already knew the answer was no before they even came out. Could the lack of carbon black on red rubber cater to less durability?
