An Incredible Collection For Sale

A Takhion, Italian steel, Lasers, and just, well, amazing bikes.

Yeah.

They've all been extremely well cared for, and my friend who is selling them is a fantastic person.

Gorgeous Rossin Art on Kickstarter

If you love lo-pro pursuit bikes like I do, you're going to love what Michael has been working on for the past few months.

Mitch from Meisturwek displays the Rossin Canvas next to his collection.

I've been following Michael on Instagram for a while now, watching intently as he perfected his model for the original Rossin pursuit bike. He's got amazing skills and hasn't stopped refining his design until it was perfect.

Amazing work. Trust me, this is not easy to do, and Michael killed it!

As Michael puts it: "As I see it, there are really only two types of people in this world; those who own a Rossin pursuit frame, and those who want a Rossin pursuit frame. Whichever category you fit into, I've got you covered." The rarity of frames like this is astonishing, and many people spend years searching to no avail. I feel like Rossins are rarer than Takhions, so for this specific bike (which I have seen maybe three or four of) I know how hard they are to find.

But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy this design yourself. Check out Michael's Kickstarter and get yourself a Rossin Canvas print or a Rossin shirt!

Already got a Rossin? Well, you're luck, and you can get a custom canvas with your bike on it!

One of the many options you can get!

No wall space? That's fine - everyone has space for a t-shirt!

I know how much work has been put into this project, and I would love to see it backed. Please give it some lo-pro bike love if you haven't already.

Speaking of Christmas Cards

I've had this on my hard drive for about a million years, and I'm absolutely in love with it. I kept forgetting to post it in the past, or I'd remember that I had it around June.

With that webbing I assume it's a Rossin.

Does anyone know the artist? I tried a reverse image search and got a lot of Tumblr posts and a few other cycling blog posts, but nothing that indicates a source, though I did also find a version that has been shopped to say "Merry Christmas."

Rudolph the lo pro reindeer.

The idea is brilliant, and I'd love to A) credit the artist, and B) ask permission to make a Takhion version.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be incredibly grateful! And if the original artist does stumble across this - shoot me an e-mail, I'd love to buy a print.

An Incredible Rossin

When about a year and a half ago a friend of mine sent me a picture of a beautiful and strangely unique Rossin frame that he had acquired, I knew the finished result would be nothing short of amazing. I see a lot of great photos of bikes, but this stunning rarity is now easily in my top ten. And though there are still some parts that will be added and swapped out, the attention to detail and components on this bike are pretty damn amazing as is.

This frame is somewhat of a mystery - it's in nearly perfect shape and is a color scheme that neither of us have ever seen replicated. Does anyone have any insight as to its history??

I'm just going to post a teaser here, since you should all take the time to visit both Preilauskas' Tumblr set with a full write up and his Pedal Room profile for full specs and to see the full photoshoot!
