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…

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’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…

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…

The Desertus Bikus is an ultradistance race I’ve been more or less involved with over the past few years. The first time I saw the start, it was hosted at the courier company

I often talk about how, in the cycling world, we should prioritize helping each other rather than staying isolated in our own little corners. And that’s exactly why I wanted to shine some light on The Swoops today….

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…

When I first launched Slow Spin Society with a sharp focus on fixed gear culture, I think deep down I wanted to help sparking another “fixed gear boom”, following the one we saw in the 2010s. One of the most unforgettable highlights from that era has to be the Red Hook Crit.

And we’re back with the second half of my coverage of the Mini Bike Fest in Berlin! If you haven’t checked out part one yet, I highly recommend doing so..

It’s not just me, the world seems to have an obsession with 20” bikes. Some call them a gimmick, others praise their versatility and the incredible fun factor of these mini-rigs…

Let me start by introducing myself. I was born in Osaka, and I’m now in my third year of riding track bikes. At first, it was just about messing around with friends on bikes, Osaka has such a dense fixed-gear culture that it was hard not to get swept up in it…

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…

A few weeks ago, I introduced you to Kaito, frame builder at Stratos. If you read until the end, you might recall me mentioning his side project, Flow Lab…
