Posted in: Urban1cycle, Video

Here we have somebody who looks like Gordon Freeman riding a flaming bike.  I guess this is episode 3 of Half Life 2 we all been waiting for. Thank you Valve. But seriously, this is a promo video from NeilPryde Bikes with Mad Frenchman riding a bike on fire. It does look pretty cool.

Review: FEEDBACK Sports Mechanic Repair Stand..

Posted in: Accessories, Fixed gear/ single Speed, SE BIKES, Urban1cycle

Photobucket
A few months ago.. We were packing up the  Nakanari / Urban1cycle bike to head to Reign in Orlando for a exhibit.. Around two weeks before the show, we were in a pickle not knowing how we would mount and show the bike at the exhibit.. Then a magical box appeared at our door step, from the awesome guys at FeedBack Sports..  I’ll be honest, I never heard of FeedBack before receiving this stand, but I have to admit I was soooo impressed with there product.

We got our grubby hands on the Sports Mechanic Repair stand by FeedBack, we loved the matte black look to the stand. FeedBack’s signature color is red on there stand’s, but we needed a matte black so it wouldn’t take away from the bike, yet do the job..  The mechanic repair stand is super light weight, only weighing in at 12.6lbs. It can hold up to 65lbs , which would be a tank of a bike. The stand can adjust it’s height from 42″-65″… so no more back breaking leaning over to the ground to work on your bike..

Your able to tilt the bike in any position.. Check below with our project bike mounted up

Ride on a Dime… Budget Single Speed Buildup Part 1

Posted in: Bikes, Brand new, Fixed gear/ single Speed, Urban1cycle

Everyone wants to get out and ride, but not everyone has an abundance of extra cash sitting around to grab the latest and greatest Fixie/single speed bike. So what to do? Well we decided to take Walmart up on its Mongoose Single Speed bike offer. Coming in at a reasonable $149.99 would this bargain prices bike give us the performance and satisfaction we were looking for? Let’s find out in Part 1 of our budget build.

First thing first, we found our donor bicycle at the local Walmart bike isle sporting all the consummate badges and sales tags one could stick on it. After giving it a once over, we noticed a small one inch scrape on the top tube. Being the savvy shoppers we are, we mentioned it to management. That eye spy moment turned into a $10 discount. Around a 7% right off the top, enough to cover taxes. Not too shabby. So we take our new pride and joy home to really get a better look.

This is what we have to work with.

General Impressions

Overall the bike looks decent. The black and white theme seems to carry well, however Mongoose has seen fit to apply 10 lbs of stickers to the bike. It feels busy as a result of all the safety items and visual effects they saw fit to add to it. It’s a tall frame. If your under 5’ 7” I would be weary. All the safety items are present and it even comes with a manual.
