Chrome Rolltop

I had a Chrome messenger for a while, and looking back I wouldn't pay more than $30 for a bag of that quality. It did the job but definitely lacked in comfort and function.. I eventually hated that bag. I was able to flip it to some dude from OCF though, made almost all my money back, and went out and bought my Mission Rambler... I love it more than anything. Even more than Del breakfiestas and cherry coke. Anyway, it looks like Chrome is starting to put out some quality product with their new Yalta. I'm guessing it beats the shit out of their messengers in every category but hipster cred. Sometimes you have to sacrifice comfort/function/practicality/common sense/etc in order to look "legitimate" (a term interchangeable with "hip"), but if you're not afraid to sacrifice cool points for something you'll love, I suggest looking into rolltops. I stand by Mission from personal experience, but this new Chrome doesn't look half bad... See for yourself:

No Cassettes!

hopefully this will suffice for my absence: No Cassettes full movie! Chris Fonseca just put this up two days ago on vimeo. Go thank him and his mother.

270 miles. 2 days.


So there's that.

As usual, the guys out in Japan are killing it.
Here's Yu Kusumoto, who used to ride for Gorilla and is now testing the Charmer frame for BreakBrake17.
I definitely recommend checking out this guys other edits. This is just one of my personal favorites.



Ride easy,

I've been riding a lot and posting a little.
Hopefully you've been outside on a bike more than inside on the internet.
Anyway...
