It always puts a smile on my face when I see that some of the new generation riders just “get it.” I’ve watched Stefan evolve from a complete beginner to …

We all love a good Japanese track bike. But it gets a little more special when the frame is aluminum, because that's something that only happened for a very brief window of time…

Known as @700ccrispy, you might find it interesting that I decided not to feature his 700c bike. But who in their right mind could resist a tasteful 26”…

It all started at Trackend Jakarta, 2025, the day I saw three Eddy Merckx MX Leader Pursuit frames in one place for the first time in my life…

This is it! We’re at the end of March, and this is the final bike check from Bespoked Dresden 2025. If you think I might have gone slightly overboard with the number of bikes I decided to feature…

Japan and track cycling share a unique history. When the fixed-gear movement took over the streets of Tokyo in the early 2000s, with events like alleycat races…

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…
