A few things from Nick

• On Friday, I unpacked an order of Brooks saddles, saddle bags and accessories, which are now back in the shop. We’ve got a variety of B-17s, an amazing Swallow (with Ti rails!) and the Millbrook and Glenbrook saddle bags.

• I haven’t seen it mentioned on any of the other bike-blogs I read, but the 20th Bi-Annual Tokyo Handmade Bicycle Show was just held again for 2007. These photos on Flickr from “Yohei” and “rikitko” are bikeporn at it’s purest. This gallery from 2005 is great also. Speaking of Japan, if you want to kit yourself out for NJS approved Keirin racing, we have parts and accessories from Nitto, MKS, Toshi, Izumi and Soyo in stock – just talk to John, Head of the Track/Fixie/Urban Warrior Dept..

• Considering the number of commuter bikes that we both sell and service, I thought that Bikakure – The Way of The Commuter would be good to post here.

• I can’t say too much at the moment, but there’s a new Cheeky Transport website in the works, that should be appearing soon. Leave a note in the comments if you’ve got a suggestion about what you’d like to see on the new site.

That’s all for now – Cheers.

SOrry about this one Richard

Here is a sneak preview of some of the cool people who have got new bikes recently. More pics soon.

aand a big congrtulations to Paddy, who has regained his Penny Farthing Champion of Australia title in Evandale Tasmania today.

But before you go, maybe you'd like a few xmas stocking stuffers. Dan at Shifter bikes has just sent me up a box of goodies.

White Industries Eno Eccentric hub .
Make your vertical tipped bike a single/fixed with no chain tensioner using this hub with an eccentric axle. Road or MTB, flip flop or disc, available in gold, green, black, red, blue or silver for $225

White Industries Freewheel.
Regarded as the best on the market. The ENO Sealed Cartridge Freewheel (red) designed for Single Speed and BMX riders. You need quick engagement! Our ratcheting mechanism has 36 teeth in which three pawls engage. Another leading brand has 20 teeth and two pawls….. you do the math! Freewheels available in sizes 16t -23t $125
The ENO Trials Freewheel (green) will take on more abuse…we machine a chunk of steel, case harden, and then plate it. We use a six pawl mechanism which gives you 72 points of engagements. Available in 18t only $165

Yep, it is pretty cool to be here at the show. I will expand on all the stuff I saw over the next couple of weeks. Overwhelmed and overfed, this vegas lifestyle is clogging my arteries. And I went to a very average motivational seminar on "outrageously incredible relationships". For fuck sake. On a brighter note, I went to an awesome little advocacy seminar and heard from Patrick from WTB, Gary from QBP and another guy who was in the Delta Phi team in Breaking away. There is a serious amount of money floating around for advocates of bikes, and some excellent programs.

I hearby pledge 1 hour a week to spend on advocacy research and action. And I also pledge 1 hour of Dave's week as well !!!

Anyway, here are some more cool photos

MKS has released a spd style pedal that uses their quick release system. For those that can't see, the threaded bit stays inside the crank and the pedal slips off with no tools. They make a flat pedal that we have in stock too.

Suzue carbon singlespeed hubs

The new pista . Did I already post this ? Yep I did

Cork grips on this Rivendell superlugged beauty

The brothers at Sycip make lovely steel stuff, like this lime green nexus machine. Check out the wood guards !

MOngoose are making this replica o their 80s dream bike. I knew a pair of twins who had these and I was so jealous! Now I can get one .

The next special colour for the SUrly 1×1 is green.

American classic make this sinflespeed cassette hub in disc version too.

PS Dave. the pugsley needs a 100m bb from fsa or truvativ and some cranks to go on it. Keep up the good work
