Shanghai color film 400 in… Well… Shanghai
We’re back with another film review! And as much as I enjoy surprises, the film lottery has been oddly specific lately… I’ve only ended up with rolls I wouldn’t normally pick for myself. This roll of Shanghai 400 Color Film…

Fixed Gear Criteriums Have a Massive Issue. Here’s the Game Plan to Solve It

Ilfocolor Vintage Tone in Kyoto
I love shooting new film, and I don’t think there’s such a thing as “bad” film. Sure, there are some that are just “meh,” and a few that are straight-up weird. So when my friend handed me that roll, saying it was the worst film she’d used in a while, I took her second roll…
Bike Check: Daryn ‘s No.22 Little Wing
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…

Bike Check: Cole’s Weis Hammer Gravel SL
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…

Bike Check: Jaming’s Peloton
