Can you guess what it is?
Answer in the comments, the correct answer will get some free FGL stickers 
Ride it like you stole it…
As we got back late last night from Bespoked Bristol, it meant that Mikey could not get his bike built up overnight. That meant that while he was at work today I got to mess about and throw ridiculous wheels on his 14R! I like my bikes to be subtle and it was strange to ride around London on such a head turning bike all day. One thing is for sure though, no one can miss you on this as it’s about as hi-vis as you can get. – Æ

14R Track Ends.
We received the new batch of Royce produced 14R track ends last week!
2 new things about the latest 14R Track End…
1. the Royce logo is now CNC’d slightly deeper because the paint was filling it in too much.
2. the frame/track end No#. Which is engraved on the underside of each left hand side track end!
I took inspiration from the way that Shimano date each of their products.
This is how it works:
AJ012
A = 2012 (the year production of these Royce 14R track ends began)
J = October (the 10th month / 10th letter of the alphabet)
012 = Product Number (which means there is only 11 14R frame set’s in existence, so far!)
Each 14R is tailor made for each of the people that choose to purchase one from 14bikeco.
I’m going to be putting aside No#23 for myself… Æ
Tickets to Impetus Momenta…
We have just added tickets to the Impetus Momenta talk on the 6th of December to our webshop.
Asmawa by Patrick Seabase will also be screened at the event on the 6th of December.
Impetus Momenta Is a presentation about the history of Fixed Gear. The ethos of riding a fixed gear bike on the street, It’s evolution, design and the surrounding culture.
The main theme of this talk will be to raise awareness about the benefits of riding a fixed gear bike. Whether it is riding in the congested streets of a city, endlessly through the vast openness in the middle of nowhere or ascending / descending mountains. To us the Fixed gear bike is the most important form of transport ever devised. Perfected in it’s inception, balanced in it’s form / function, and once you have mastered riding a fixed gear bike, you feel at one with this form of transport more than any other machine ever invented.
