Since you enjoyed the previous video, here is another one to cover some of the recent developments at Slow Spin. Will it be a monthly update? Not sure... We'll see.
Bike Check: Toma‘s Suspension Peloton
Your first reaction might be, “A suspension fork on an NJS fixed gear... WTF is happening here?” Trust me, I thought the exact same thing at first, but…
Ryan’s Track Bike Trip in Osaka by Ryan
Osaka was one of my favorite cities of all time. The last time I visited was perhaps seven years ago, while it was just me and my father. Osaka, among some other cities, has characteristics I liked as a cyclist: a compact urban area...
Happy International Fixed Gear Day!
Today is the day! Happy International Fixed Gear Day, everyone! Today should be all about riding your bike, meeting with friends, and having a good time on the road! Track bikes are just simple and fun, and that's why most of us love them. But they also…
A B&W Alleycat Collection by Ermanno
By this point, you probably know Hermano, also known as @ermess_ on Instagram, taking pictures during his multiple trips to bike events and alleycats throughout Europe...
OneHundred Red in Barcelona
While in Barcelona earlier this year, I swung by Carmencita Film Lab since what I usually do first before walking/riding aimlessly in any city is to check out every bike and camera shop I can find on Google maps…
Self Bike Check: Custom No.22 Little Wing
You've seen it on video; you've witnessed the process. It's now time for some beauty shots of the Little Wing, and my first impression of what is likely the nicest track bike I've ever ridden to date.
My Top 5 Bikes at BikeLore 2024!
Bike Lore Hakushu was about a month ago, and as usual, it was filled with good bikes, fun people, and the great racing spirit that makes this event so popular. It’s also probably the only place where you can catch your own fish, grill it, and eat it with ice cream…
Crafting Perfection: Behind No.22’s Manufacturing Magic
Every now and then, I get the opportunity to visit exceptional places. This time, the folks at No22 invited me to see what they do best: creating bespoke pieces where every detail counts. Located in Johnstown, upstate New York, I was fortunate enough to spend several days…
Beyond Bike Lust: My Journey into Bike-Minimalism
Let me start this with the definition of "Minimalism": Minimalism is all about owning only what adds value and meaning to your life and removing the rest. It's about decluttering and using your time and energy for the things that remain…
[Video] First NYC Ride on the No22 Little Wing with Terry B
A few days after picking up this very pretty No22 Little Wing from Number 22’s HQ in upstate New York, Terry asked me if I wanted to record a “ride interview” while I was in town….
Bike Check: Shinada’s Makino Ultra Record
Another quick bike-check back from CMWC 2023 where I spotted this Makino Ultra Record. If you're not aware, Makino, being the apprentice of 3rensho, already has quite a status…
Bike Check: David Grylls‘s Double Trouble
We are back with more bikes from Shuhary, and the man himself, Letuce-San. Today, we're examining not one but two 3Rensho, both owned and ridden by David Grylls…
[Video] Summer Update 2024
Six months into 2024, and it's high time for an update on all that's happening at Slow Spin Society. What you’ll find in this blog-post and the video attached to it are almost exactly the same thing, so feel free to skip one or the other…
Bike Check: Corentin’s Custom Mash SSCX
The Mash SSCX is a very good frame! Featuring track dropouts, 120mm spacing, wide tire clearance, and cantilever brake mounts. Ahead of its time, this frame had only one drawback…
Harman Phoenix in Milan
I’ve called it in my recap of 2023, here is some photography related content for you all! While in Milan earlier this year, I opened the door of a camera store in which I couldn’t afford anything…
Keirin and Karting: Welcome to Rustout
Doing fixed criterium races on a go-kart track isn't anything new. Rad Race, Mission Crit, and others have done it, with usually great success…
Bike Check: Daniel’s Custom Mash Reyes
When Mash first released the “Mash Reyes,” I wasn't fully on board with both of the paint options being so monochrome. The orange accents were great, but I was yearning for something with a bit more energy…
Say Hi to “The Lockup”
Welcome to the very early stages of “The Lockup”! What is The Lockup, you may ask? It's a community-driven bicycle gallery that aims to be your go-to platform for showcasing bikes, discovering build inspiration, and browsing a wide array of cool setups.
