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”…
