The long-awaited LOW collection review is finally here! I met up with David (@afe_hdy1016) back in October, and although this story had to be split into two parts, I’m excited to share what is very likely the one and only fully matching LOW// collection…

While I’m still young, I want to try everything. Every kind of bike, every kind of riding, and ultimately, every kind of mistake. Right now, I’m still a student, and I feel like this is the time to explore without limits…

This week, we’re featuring another French frame builder with Pierre from Bordure Cycles. Based in Épernay, in the northeast of France, Bordure is still a relatively young brand…

Back in January, when I was in Tokyo, I found myself standing in front of something I genuinely felt lucky to witness. During a visit to 25Las, he showed me his most recent acquisition…

The Noctilux is Leica’s super‑fast lens family, ranging from f/1.25 all the way to f/0.95. The most famous member of the family is undoubtedly the 50 mm, first introduced in 1966…

During my trip to Nagoya, Japan, I decided to run one more of my little, slightly silly experiments and try another film stock. At the moment of buying it, the clerk literally told me…

I recently met up with David Hong (a.k.a. @afe_hdy1016 ) to take a look at his bike collection. As a member of the 0nstag3 crew, covered in a previous write-up, he’s one of the most well-known riders out here in South Korea. Best known for his aggressive riding style…

If you haven’t read my previous coverage of RustOut in 2024 (Keirin and Karting: Welcome to RustOut), here’s a quick recap of what this event is all about. Take a bicycle show, a criterium race, a go-kart track, and a lot of friends…

Next to a fading “Welcome to Sipi Falls” sign a few locals beckoned us under cover. Hid on someone’s porch, we watched the sky give in right before us. Houses on the side of the road flooded and the mountain pass we had just climbed resembled more of a river than anything else…

If you want a titanium track bike, you really don’t have many options. It usually comes down to a No.22 Little Wing, a Weis Hammer Track Ti, or something vintage or custom-made by an obscure Chinese framebuilder…

During our Addis Ababa layover I decided I wanted a snack and a bottle of water, not the best idea. We missed our connecting flight and spent the night in fluorescent purgatory. One missed connection later Stan smugly watched on as I arduously assembled my Chinese aluminium bike…

One more bike from the TXWC in Barcelona this year! Today we’re looking at Zach’s Squid VRY HRD (pronounced “Very Hard”), one of the setups that really caught my eye during the event…

So! As you might have noticed, the title has changed a little… And don’t worry, I have answers! But before that I want a talk about how every year, as I push myself to create the best work I can for SSS…

When you think about cycling and China, you probably picture the thousands of shared city bikes or the massive factories producing carbon frames and wheels for the entire world…

Big-tire gravel bikes were definitely the trend at Bespoked Dresden this year, but this custom Curve GMX+ that Jimmy let me shoot was in a category of its own. This expedition machine…

You might already know Logan from Weis, as I’ve mentioned him before here on SSS. Logan handles everything at Weis that involves making your frame pretty…

You could say the Shanghai bike scene is really colorful, bright paint, anodized parts, neon decals, everything to make your ride as loud and unique as possible. So you can imagine how curious I was when I spotted a tiny flash of silver…

Is it cold outside and the weather just isn’t calling for a ride? Don’t worry! I’ve got you covered. Since so many of you enjoyed last year’s “When Bikes Make It on the Big Screen: Six Cycling Movies for Winter”, I decided to dig up five more bike-centric films…

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…

Hi everyone! So here! When my friend Zebraman (yes that’s his nickname, it’s a long story…) recently built a Titanium Omnium CXC with a pretty interesting setup…
