OUTLIER clothing…
For sure that when you’re riding your bike in the city, you don’t want to especially look like that you’re going to the next race ? I mean, it’s not because you’re riding a bike that you have to wear Spandex and stuff like this….héhéhé…Same as when you see a guy riding a DH bike with the whole DH outfit to jump 5 stairs in the street….I mean it’s all about style at one point.
Guys at OUTLIER understood that completly and their products are all you need for riding without looking like riding-gear. Style and Bikes, all we love @LowFi…
“We firmly believe that the bicycle is the best form of urban transit for the 21st century, and our clothing is designed to make that fact even more true. Your clothing should work as well on a bicycle as it does on the subway or in a car, without shouting to the world “I’m a cyclist.” We are a clothing company first, not a cycling company. But we’re a clothing company that designs simple, good looking and hard wearing garments for a world where bikes are a part of your daily life.”
WORD !
Check out some of their products in action after the drop (more…)

BLACKCROWSxNISSAN CUBE
BlackCrows skis, one of my favourite ski company, maybe becasue they are making the nicest skis on the market or maybe also because they are rooted in Chamonix…., Anyway, Black Crows teamed up with Nissan in order to create two CUBExBlackCrows. Pretty sweet, lucky riders….
Apple’s Ipad presentation…
I’m sorry for you guys if you don’t like technical stuff, but it’s pretty hard at the moment not to mention the release of the new Ipad by Apple. Like all the time Steve Jobs did his big show about his best product ever…blahblahblah….let’s see when it will be available.
Cannondale’s concept female city bike.
Wytze Van Mansum did this concept bike with the help of Cannondale. Beside the fact that i think the bike looks really good, i’m really jealous of not being able to ride with a one like this, in a male version, through the city. Maybe Cannondale would have the good idea to hire Wytze to developp the concept…Check more pics after the drop and a demo video plus infos here. (more…)

Canyon “Stitched” ltd Tibor.
CanyonBikes is back again with a new limited edition of its 4X/dirt frame, the STITCHED. After the Rob-J limited model with Vans some months ago, it’s Tibor Simai’s turn to choose and work on a proper design. Nice work.
“The Stitched was designed by Tibor Simai in close cooperation with Lutz Scheffer. “He realises my ideas.” “The end result is the best dirt bike I can imagine.” The frame geometry is tailor-made for dirt bikers: a variable wheel base, which can be adjusted between 1070 and 1095 mm according to preference. The geometry allows acrobatic dirt jumps in the most beautiful spots in the world.” Check out more infos on the Canyon website and check out some pics after the drop. (more…)
Emilia Forstreuter’s work.
Emilia Forstreuter is none other than Joscha’s sister. As i was checking BlackBoxLabs’ blog, i saw a post of Joscha explaining the crazy work that his sister was making in graphism and motion graphism…Pretty sick actually, so i definitely tell you to visit her website and watch the new HD motion project that she made on Vimeo.

I remember seeing that product at the last EUROBIKE but couldn’t find more details about it. Surfing the web, i finally found some more infos.

Don’t know when it gonna be available but here’s the link of their website…Find all infos after the drop about this really nice product. (more…)

Leander from Racing-Atlelier introduces me to the work of Munich artist, Christoph Bergmann. His way of sculpting out of metal is mind-blowing.

2010 Porsche 911 Sport Classic
I have to admit that i’m a great fan of sportscar. Growing up in a car racing related environment, driving fast and beautiful car is something i coud never say no…For sure i’ll have never the chance to drive the new 2010 Porsche Sport Classic, maybe because it’s hyper-expensive, maybe also because this new model is limited to 250 pieces, quite few happy drivers.Anyway, it’s always nice to see such a car in motion, so check out the video below and go check notcot.com for more pics and infos.

Even for those who are not french speaking, CLARK magazine is “must have” magazine. With a perfect mix of lifestyle, music, fashion, art, graphism, this magazine achieved to create something where a lot of others failed. For me one of the best one with, of course, THE MAGAZINE in itself, LODOWN. So try to find this 38th issue, english texts inside.
