Fixed Gear California by Josh Estey

Though you can see him coasting downhill in the video, I can assure you he's got a dinglecog installed on his rear hub. I swear. I can tell you that because I helped him prepared the bike. Honest, Mom.

This also marks the last installment of Josh Estey's around-the-world "Fixed Gear" video series. After going to three continents, he decided to left the infamous Surly Steamroller to his brother in Idaho where it enjoyed constant 100-plus commuting miles every week. But rest assure Josh will be back scorching the corners of the world with another bicycle. I should've at least put our shop sticker on that Steamroller before he left...

Bicycle projects are not unlike jigsaw puzzles: the excitement lies on the experience of looking for the appropriate parts and putting them together. Sometimes some of our customers walked in and brought plethora of parts to be built, so our job is putting them together and sometimes, looking for the incomplete parts.

A Century Later: PIAS Scarab Prototype

First of all, I'd like to set things straight. This is not just a bicycle I've built, this is also a bicycle I designed from the ground up. I might be biased, so let's not consider this as a "true" review. I put this under the "A Century Later" category because this article sums up all the experiences I have after more than 160 (total) kilometers. Now move along.

You might have seen all the build possibilities on the PIAS Scarab, and this is one of them. I decided to built it as a all-weather roadbike so I can put it under testing on any weather conditions. That, and because of all the bicycles I have in my stable, this is the only one that can be fitted with full-shroud fenders.

Leader Bikes x Pedal Consumption x Woof Jakarta 2013 Kagero

At Fixed Fest 2011 Patrick Thames from PEDAL Consumption met Gibranos from Woof Jakarta for the first time. Eventually they came up with collaboration projects, and one of them is the head badge design for 2013 incarnation of the Kagero frame.

Woof Jakarta: Kagero 2013

The Kagero frameset is a result of collaboration between Leader Bikes and PEDAL Consumption. For 2013, they asked Woof Jakarta to design the headbadge. Once one of the first frames touched the soil of Jakarta, Gibranos of Woof Jakarta let us build it for him.
More build pictures and complete specification coming up soon.
