A Champ of a Bike Lamp

Designed for serious nighttime cyclists and leisurely riders alike, Astra is the next best thing to a fully integrated head lamp. The clean, stylish, aluminum attachment blends seamlessly to any handlebar, is easily installed and even easier to operate. Its unique arm places the head lamp at the very center of the bars where the beam has the widest range and gives the user the maximum illumination of surroundings. With a perfect beam cut-off line, it won’t cause glare to drivers but will ensure the rider is visible.

The Ridiculous XC Bike is well aware that it’s different! Don’t be fooled by the low positioning of its handlebars – this is a real contender for serious mountain bike enthusiasts who crave both speed and maneuverability.

Lightweight, agile and loaded with modern improvements, it offers miles of smiles for mountain bikers!

Features:
Interpolate 39 inch wheels
Pulley steering system
Swap sprockets to speed up or alter steering characteristics.
(Steering ratio in current build: 1.16)
Inbuilt steerer chain tensioner
Riding position similar to contemporary 29er XC bikes

Crafty Crates for Stylish Cyclists

Posted on by

Paperspokes_00

There’s no better way than a PaperSpokes crate to transform your bicycle from a simple mode of transportation to a functional cargo carrier! A stylish alternative to run-of-the-mill wire baskets, there are two designs to choose from: the square-shaped Spotty and the rectangular Zigzag. The PaperSpokes crates are made of a special wood resistant to the effects of both the rain and sun, so they can be used all year round. With the specially made light-reflecting shock-cords you can fasten any object into the crates or even to the outside surface. The easily rearrangeable cords make them the ideal accessories to carry everyday items in all types of situations, whether you’re grocery shopping, grabbing a coffee, or in a hurry to work!

Precious Pedal

As you might’ve guessed from the name, the Diamante’s cutting-edge frame takes inspiration from the precious stone. Not only a symbol of luxury, its shape is ideal for strength and even weight distribution. Despite its pristine aesthetic, it’s still a muscle-bike with 9-speed transmission and semi-pro front shocks. Minimal and sleek with an uber-lux look, it’s the bike you might even want to valet!
