While I was at TXWC in Barcelona this year, cheering for the braves going through sand, dust, and sweat, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to scout a couple of potential bikechecks…

If you’ve been following the past few months of bike checks, you know that many of them featured Romario’s impressive track bike collection. I saved what I consider the best for last…

When you’re a Parallax fanboy like me, there are certain bikes you’ve seen countless times online, always feeling just out of reach, the kind of thing you expect to admire only through a screen….

I think everyone’s waited long enough for a full reveal of what I’ve decided to dub “The Weis Beach Ripper”, simply because riding along the sea is probably what I’ve done most with this bike so far…

I’ve already featured Romario’s collection a few times on here, with most recently his USSR Colnago. So now that you have a good sense of his “bike personality”, let’s rewind and take a look at the bike that started it all…

Like many fixed gear fans out there, a trip to Japan always felt inevitable. The hype, the arts , the roads! A chance to soak in the culture, visit my friend So (you might’ve seen him featured here before), and finally pick up a frame I’d been looking forward to for months…

There are plenty of people who consider themselves bike collectors, each for their own reasons. Maybe it’s the way a bike looks, the way it rides, the history behind it, or maybe it’s just the joy of collecting for collecting’s sake…

I started covering Romario’s collection a few months ago here on Slow Spin Society. With so many impressive bikes that often look completely unridable, in a “normal” setting, it’s refreshing to find one with a more traditional look, something I could actually imagine taking for a spin around the block…

A few years ago, I posted about Yuki’s criterium machine, her beautiful carbon fiber Kalavinka. Well, time for a change of pace: today, we’re taking a look at her Brooklyn Machine Works Gangsta V4…

When it comes to the fixed gear scene, there’s always been an enduring obsession with the Brooklyn Machine Works (BMW) Gangsta Track. But what about the lesser-known LaunchPad?

The No. 22 press coverage never seems to stop around here, but sadly this is the last bit I saved from my 2024 summer trip to America. Today, we’re checking out a very special bike, since it’s the one I’ve been stoked about since I first spotted it online years back…

It’s time for another bike check, and it looks like we’ve been on an NJS streak lately! But this one isn’t from Japan… It’s from Brooklyn…

Hello readers! Over the past few months, I’ve been writing about how NJS bikes are a good base for builds when you look past the strictly “Keirin style Track bike” that they are built for…

What you’re seeing now is the first of a few bike checks I did while visiting Romario’s collection in Hong Kong. Private collectors like Romario don’t always grant access to photographers or media outlets…

Bike messengers are badass, no doubt about it. I spent a few years in that world, and while I loved the job, I don’t think I ever rode a setup as cool as this for deliveries…

Let me start with this: What happens when a frame builder crafts a bike for himself? A show bike of course, but also a machine built to ride, travel, and showcase his work everywhere he goes…

If you’ve recently seen one of the movies I help produce for Skream Bikes during my trip between Tokyo and Hong Kong, you’ve probably seen a back on black Skream Magnum, ridden by no other than Mathie a.k.a. @deythos

Throughout 2024, I noticed more and more builds following the same pattern. And I have to admit, even though it's not a new concept, the idea of a vintage steel track frame modernized with drops and brakes is becoming increasingly tempting…

No, you're not on SMC, but yes, today's feature is a 26” Fixed Gear Freestyle bike. Am I biased because of the fiery paint job? Absolutely. But when Taka made the journey all the way from Kyoto to tear up some iconic spots in the heart of Tokyo…
