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…

Experimental film photography is probably the closest thing to gambling when it comes to taking pictures. With no idea what the final results would look like, I decided to load a roll of Harman Red…

On one of my trips through Germany, I had the chance to meet Janis after spotting one of his bikes at Bespoked Dresden 25. Based in the Northern Alps, near the border between Germany and Austria…

Minivélos have clearly been on the rise. And the Stridsland Boomboat is the perfect example of what happens when niche brands fully embrace niche ideas…

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…

Let me be very clear: this is my number one, absolute favorite build from Bespoked Dresden. Funky, experimental, raw, but always built with intent…

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…

The Skream Ranger isn’t really “new” in any ways. First unveiled back in 2020, it was pitched as an affordable track bike with generous tire clearance, aimed squarely at the Tracklocross crowd…

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…

Following the evolution of Kang and Quokka Cycles, it’s hard to stay indifferent when you see the amount of work being poured into the Falcon Disc…

Today I’ll keep it brief, because this is a strange article to write. But I wanted to take a moment to celebrate. To celebrate you, the 10,000+ people who read, watch, and (hopefully) enjoy what started here on Slow Spin Society every month…

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…

Speaking from a purely personal point of view, I’ve always felt that a front rack or basket simply looks better than anything rear-mounted. That said, I’ve usually ended up filling…

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…
