Fixed Gear London has built a Vans bike. The bike comes in matt black with shiny black accents, which turned out really nice. Most of the bike features the signature Vans check pattern, which thanks to the black on black design does not come out too strong. The bike is now on display at the Vans Store in London.

More images of the Fixed Gear London x Vans bike follow after the jump.

Introducing the UNIV for Ellsworth Moment Mountain Bike. This collabor­ation is an extremely limited run of the most versatile full suspension bike. The concept for the UNIV for Ellsworth Moment was to create a detail-oriented, full-suspension street shredder with maximum flare, in contrast to the trend of simplistic throwback re-issues that are now commonplace in street culture. UNIV brings a coastal influence and laid-back outlook to the project, making it a high tech mountain bike for the street. UNIV and Ellsworth worked together for months on the building of the bike and all specifications are to suit the limited collaboration project. The bike had been in discussion for a long time as both brands are located near each other in North San Diego County California. Only six of these bikes will be made and will retail for more than $5000.

The frame and components are 100% made in USA at the Ellsworth facility in Vancouver, Washington. Featuring 6″ of rear travel and Ellsworth’s proprietary Instant Center Tracking suspension, the Moment is the one bike that can go anywhere and do anything.

Not too long ago one would already set oneself apart by riding a fixed gear bike. These days even traditional media picked up the worldwide trend and with that, one has to find new ways to set apart ones bike. Geekhouse introduces their new powder coating graphic option.
"They’ve mastered a process that can basically take any digital image and sublimate it into a powder coated finish. This "Rockcity" frame was made for a customer who wanted a bandanna-like orange paisley design—not our first choice of graphics but dope nonetheless. It also features a matching front Deep-V rim that was also given the same patterned treatment." Via Animal.
Definitely a good idea and something many people will be making use of. The only problem with such an option is, just like with something like Nike iD, people with bad taste also get to use it. But overall definitely a nice move.
Have a more detailed look at the bike after the jump.

Brooks England announces collaboration with the New York City Bicycle Film Festival with the release of a limited edition Swallow.  Only one hundred special Swallow models, manufactured with British racing green leather and each bearing an authentic serial number of authenticity, will be available to the public.  Proceeds from sales will benefit the 8th annual Bicycle Film Festival which runs from May 28th through June 1st.
BFF Limited Edition Green Swallow features the original steel metalwork and bares a tensioning plate on the underside of the saddle which still features the original patenting information. The Swallow retains the word DEPOSÉ, meaning REGISTERED in French, on its tensioning plate. This was added, originally, as many of the saddles were exported to the continent for the use of racers and tourers alike.

The first Swallow was patented on August 20th 1936, a time when all Tour de France riders used Brooks saddles. Legends such as Girardengo, Bottecchia, Bartali, Coppi and Anquetil all rode Brooks saddles to victory and the coveted yellow jersey. Back then the arrival of the handcrafted Swallow was heralded as revolutionary as it was the first ‘cut away’ saddle design, giving greater freedom of leg movement to the sportive cyclist.

The 100 BFF Limited Edition Green Swallows retail for 250 $ and are sold exclusively in cooperation with the BFF in NY during the festival.

Iconic NYC bike makers Brooklyn Machine Works has just finished a special track bike commissioned by Kanye West. The bike has all the high end standards that any bike has that comes from BMW, and a little special extra is the glow-in-the-dark paintjob that it got. It seems like everything Kanye touches lately has to be glow-in-the-dark. For a bike it might actually make sense!

Back in August of 2007, adidas Canada partnered with the heralded Quebec-based Marinoni to create a unique bike celebrating the opening of adidas Original’s store in Montreal. The idea was to showcase a bike that captured the fine craftsmanship that Marinoni has come to be known for and represented the athletic history of adidas. Working with designers from Breadwinner Creative, Marinoni dreamt up this beautiful, one-of-a-kind track bike full of go-fast goodies that ooze style and capture the very essence of each respective brand. 
The bike was displayed at adidas Original’s launch party and instantly became the talk of the town.  Shortly after, the bike was shipped to Toronto for display in adidas’ Queen Street store and its popularity grew even wider.
As intended, the adidas x Marinoni Pista Crono was to be auctioned off to charity in early 2008 and people as far as Japan followed the bike hoping to somehow own this one-of-a-kind work of art. 
Fast-forward to April 2008 and after much anticipation the adidas x Marinoni Pista Crono has been put up on the auction block.  Being deeply involved in athletics, community and charity, both Marinoni and adidas Canada agreed to auction the bike off for a good cause.   All proceeds from the winning bid will be donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.
Bidding starts on April 2, 2008 (today) and will last 10 days. The auction is open to bidders worldwide. To follow this auction, please click here.

This Spring PUMA^® introduces the PUMA GLOW RIDER, the third edition of the PUMA bike.  Possessing the quintessential PUMA characteristics of fun and functionality, the new model distinguishes itself through the unique glow in the dark frame. The bike is part of PUMA Urban Mobility, a collection created with the needs of a city dweller in mind, comprising apparel, accessories and footwear. 

The night glow effect paint used on the steel frame of the bike collects the sunrays during the day, and gives this light off when darkness has fallen, in the form of a beautiful glow, lasting for several hours. Remember those night glow stars on your bedroom ceiling when you were small?  

With this quirky glowing frame, which asserts higher visibility by night and a unique outer appearance, urban commuters can express their personal style and feel safe at the same time.  
This PUMA Bike is a single gear bike, ideal for city riding. The head and backlights, which come as standard on this edition, help shed additional light in the darkness of the city.     
Additional features of the bike are its characteristic chunky tires, and a quick, easy and smart semi-folding mechanism, for maximum convenience. This easy-folding design makes the bike a perfect travel companion and allows commuters easy access in and out of public transport, cars or elevators.  This unique element provides all the benefits of a folding bike, without compromising on style.  
Twin-disc breaks stop you before something else does, providing the ultimate breaking power in stop-and-go city traffic. The PUMA Bike is also equipped with the integrated wire lock system, which is virtually thief-proof. If stolen and rode without the wire, the loyal bike will auto-destruct.  
The PUMA GLOW RIDER is available in two signal color options; buttermilk (glows in green) and orange (glows in orange).  
To further ensure a unique look for the rider, the PUMA Bike comes with a matching courier bag, a wind and water resistant jacket as well as a tee. The express courier bag comes with a flap made of 3M material, which features a reflective pattern when hit by a light such as a car headlight. 

With this new dimension on by night visibility and its unique frame design, the bike is setting new standards for city-travel. This new PUMA Bike, again manufactured by Biomega, will be available starting April 2008 at select PUMA retail stores across the globe.
Detailed pictures of all colorways of the bike after the jump.
