Earlier this week we received our first batch of the new O.G. kit, and they turned out even sweeter than we had hoped.  These are our second collaboration with Minneapolis' own Twin Six, and we couldn't be happier with the results, check it out.

Since we like to ride our bikes a lot and when you ride your bike a lot you need to drink water, here's the new All-City water bottle.

And it just so happens to match the new O.G. kit.  Crazy right?

It's the second longest running messenger race in the world and typically 400+ people show up to throw down on the cold February streets of MInneapolis. 

You can bet I'll be there representing the set.

Our New Vertical Dropouts

Mon, 01/16/2012 - 16:58

As we move into geared bikes it only made sense to continue with our tradition of creating our own signature dropouts.

For most companies these are unnecessary expenses but we feel that it's these frame details that make an All-City standout from the crowd and give our bikes their character and archival quality.  When you're looking at a vintage frameset and see that Campagnolo dropout you know you're looking at a quality piece.  It's our love for these sorts of bike geek moments that leads us to making the investment in our own stainless steel forgings.

These will be used on our Mr. Pink and a soon to be unveiled project that we've been working on.

Get Well Corey

Fri, 01/13/2012 - 13:08

If  you've been following along, you know that our man Corey is down in Texas with Prolly and the crew from Long Beach. 

He's been absolutely killing it down there as these photos that have popped up on Prolly is Not Probably over the last week have shown.

Well yesterday he was doing an over rail to fire cracker and got hung up on his second attempt (after making the first)

Corey went to the hospital last night with internal bleeding, information is incomplete, but he posted in the comments on Prolly that the bleeding has  slowed and the doctors now believe that he won't need surgery.  He will be in the hospital for at least a few days for observation.

Corey,  our hearts go out to you as we wish you a speedy recovery. 

Please send your good thoughts his way.

New All-City Kits: The O.G. Jersey and Bibs

Mon, 01/09/2012 - 15:35

We've got a new kit in the pipeline. 

We wanted to compliment our "racer" kit the original Twin Six X All-City with a simpler more understated ensemble.  Behold the second fruit of our partnership with Minneapolis' own Twin Six, the O.G. kit.

The O.G. Jersey

All_City_comps-1

All_City_comps-2

It's simple clean timeless and badass.  We borrowed the lettering style from our Wool line and Cutters t-shirt for this elegant throwback.  Available in both men's and women's cuts.

O.G Bib
AC_bib7

For the bib we wanted something that would look great with our Wool line as well as working with either of our lycra jerseys or for that matter, any jersey you already own.  The bibs are available in men's cut only.

Both of these pieces are proudly made in the U.S.A. and will be available at the end of the month.

Our buddy Prolly recently did a nice post on Ty from Golden Saddle Cyclery's Nature Boy Zona for his blog Prolly is not Probably.  The photo above was from a separate post and was shot by Brian Vernor.  It's of Ty in action on this lovely machine.

Here are the photos from Prolly

Bandit Cross: Ruining it for Everybody trailer

Thu, 01/05/2012 - 16:28

So as you may know, I organize a bunch of grassroots illegal cyclocross races throughout the year in Minneapolis.  Recently the video crew from the QBP mothership asked if I'd be interested in making a video about the series.  As this is something that I deeply love and wish to spread the idea that any a-hole can throw a race and do something positive for their cycling community, I of course said "Yes."  The full length (for a short) isn't done yet, but they just released this little trailer. 

If you're wondering about the title, it's a phrase coined by Stevil Kinevil of AHTBM in regards to his experiences with people who take cyclocross seriously. You see at first there were a bunch of naysayers from the "legit" racing community who said that we were going to stigmatize and ruin cyclocross.  Fortunately we just wrapped up our 2nd year and there has been nothing but good vibes and great times.  Many folks who can't afford to race "legit" cross have come out, and many people who were too intimidated to try it anywhere else have fallen in love with cyclocross and moved into organized racing.  And still others who don't give a shit about "real" cyclocross racing, but do love to have fun on their bikes with their friends show up every time. 

For me Bandit Cross has been a truly transcendent experience, I was a bit burned out on the whiny and pissy attitudes of people at the alleycats and Bandit Cross' no prizes, no money, no nothing but pride aspect has once more allowed me to see the goodness in the community.  Everyone's invited, everyone's welcome, just show up and bring a good attitude.  That is what it's all about. 

Long live Bandit Cross!

pop some corn and get into it.
