… for spending some time with us at last!

It just feels good to ride when its warm and sunny, no question.

RENNBAHN ÖRLIKON

June 17th, 2010

Here some impressions of the track course here in Zürich. It’s not only a very elegant construction but also one of the steepest race tracks I know of. I don’t now why but the city wants to tear this beautiful outdoor velodrome down. Even though the “Rennbahn Örlikon” celebrates its 100th anniversary next year. If you are near Zürich,it’s open to public every tuesday evening from may to september.

BIKE CHECK Affinty

June 16th, 2010

So, third Bike Check from one of the Pedal Gents. The Frame is ridiculous. I’m ridin’ it for 3 years now! It’s heavy like shit but it fits for our streets.

Affinity, Marta

FSA Stem

Cinelli Drop

B43 Velocity & Profile hubs

Randoneur & Gatorskin

Selle Italia

MKS Pedal & Toshi Straps

Sugino Messenger Crankset

I have to say that the frame, the wheelset and even the pedals are somehow given, sold or carried overseas from one of the Gents. So thanks to them.

Pedal Gent wins race!

Last Saturday the monthly messenger-organized alleycat took place here in Zurich and a part of the crew managed to make it to the line-up. Ivan and Gianfranco were on fire and came in first (Gianfranco) and fourth (Ivan).

Congrats to these two and a big thank you to the organizers for the nice race through the city.
