Brick Lane Bikes in London has added a few new frames to their shop branded quiver. The La Piövra frames are built in Poland and look really nice! They have a pursuit with chrome lugs, forks and rear triangle complete with Paul Components, a rather snazzy ladies frame for the, uh, ladies and a bunch of others. Loads more info here.

Fisher has just finished his edit of the Santa Cruise Alleycat that took place in Bristol a couple of weeks back. It’s lacking a bit on riding footage but it captures the whole ambience of the day: cold and fun! We are working on getting John his own private driver, driving for (no) money at all the alleycats we go to in the future cause his videos are kicking ass and with a load of race footage too they will be awesome!
A bunch of us went out today to do some filming, we all grew up shooting skate videos and still do so it’s cool to have something new to film. We hit up some hills and bummed around down on the sea front for a bit. Had a real nice day out.
All photos by Jono. Video (which YouTube has fucked up) by Fisher. Check out Evs’ Bright Yellow Scratches blog for some more pictures and other cool stuff.
Riding the Long White Cloud is a 44 minute documentary about a group of professional skateboarders cycling across New Zealand. Going on the quality of the shooting and the list of skaters (Kenny Anderson, Cairo Foster, Chris Haslam, Rick McCrank, Silas Baxter Neal, John Rattray, Keegan Sauder) this is going to brilliant when it airs on fuel.tv in January 2010

The brand new Identiti FFX forks (which have been under development since June 2009) are now in stock at Ison.
We could have just gone out and made a bulky looking long BMX fork… or taken a standard type road fork and added some weight, but, we don’t think that would be good enough…, so we have designed the FFX forks:
FFX forks are an evolved variant of our tried and trusted Rebate jump forks (which have already been used by Fixed Gear riders and are firm favourites of the jump crowd).
A carefully thought out combination of strength, weight, tyre clearance and style.
2 options:
FFX 30 – with a 30mm offset.
(to fit our own new Persona FFX frame.)
FFX 45 – with a 45mm offset.
(to fit many fixie frames that need a tad more toe clearance.)
Lightweight butted and heat treated 20/20 Cro-Mo tubing with internally and externally machined steerer. (offers optimised strength and weight, without the stress rising areas that changes in diameter over short distances can cause.)
Tapered 28.6 to 20mm legs – giving slender looks with
massive strength.
Large weld area – providing increases strength.
Height 393mm A to C (about as tight as you can go… with still allowing 50mm tyre clearance… and a decent weld area.)
BMX style dropouts… but designed to fit 9mm track or QR axles…with safety lip.
Weight: 1,080g with long 280mm steerer.
Colours: Black, White or Chrome Plate.
Available here for £89.99
Looooooads of prizes from DVS and Matix for the Swansea round of the Rollapaluza Nationals, cheers dudes!
I just got a load of DVS / Cadence Forever Forward stickers through from Revival Distribution. Who wants one? What’s it worth???
After a long wait the Spinwell bobble hats are now available. “Made by one man and his machine in Wales these are a total representation of keeping things local… Well as local as I could get anyhow and considering the current “economic crisis” I thought it very important to support the independent U.K manufacturer.” At £15 for a locally produced product you really can’t go wrong. Check out spinwell.co.uk for more info.
