Japan is Saiko!!!!!
Outside W-base right now… 8 hours ahead of London. Chillin with mad heads from all over the world yo!!
Ted has slept in most of the parks now and has a permanent beer in his hand! Grasshoppers and Crows are everywhere. Hot tea in a can anytime you want from a vending machine and more gangsta tracks that you could imagine. Saiko means awsome and great, which is the truth!!!
Few words about an old video
A quick article about the video “fixedgearlondon in Paris” :
Last year a group of 10 fixed gear riders from London planned a trip to Paris, to discover what the scene was around here.
For 3 days, we rode east to west and north to south everywhere in Paris… It was really cool to hang out all together, and get these guys to meet the “locals”.
I remember it was a cold and humid month, and it seems like it was such a long time ago, because so many things have happened since. To me it seemed obvious that this improvised trip needed to be on tape, so I grabbed my scooter and went for some filming… The outcome wasn’t meant to be a really fast and dangerous looking video; the purpose was to show people that riders actually started to travel with their bikes, the only purpose beeing “RIDING”.
Luis Davis
Luis hails from Paris, he’s a cycle polo pro, fixed gear fanatic and a ’spare time’ videographer. We had him fire in some words about the video above, like he mentions in his words and the same reason we dug it – it’s just dudes riding.
Cheers for the narrative Luis, stoked to have you on board this coming year as a product tester, look forward to many more shorts and the stories behind them – stoked!

Where are you!!!!!!
More Eurobike…
The main reason for going to Euro bike was to take the show bikes that 14 Bike co had been preparing with help from us for Continental…
SuperTed designed Trickframe named the ESB. Made from Reynolds 631 or 853 tubing, CNC machined EN24T bb shell, CNC machined EN24T Intergrated headtube, Laser cut Ted designed dropouts (frame & Fork), , Reynolds 853 fork legs and a one piece CNC machined steerer tube.
More about Ted’s new trick hub later… 
A classic Fluer de lis lugged track bike…
And a concept stealth bike with CNC machined stainless drop outs, Reynolds 853 Aero tubing with a cut out for the rear wheel (just like they used to make them back in the day!)
Ted also made this one-off track frame from columbus tubing…
