Am kommenden Samstag macht ein kleiner feiner Skateshop in Münster auf. Vor kurzem ist ja Green Hell noch umgezogen und nun eröffnet unser Freund und KOLOSS Gründer Makyuss einen Shop-im-Shop in der Winkelstrasse 10. Ausgewählte Produkte von vornehmlich kleine Firmen werden die Regale füllen und ein angenehmen Kontrast zu Titus, Backyard und dergleichen bilden.

Zusätzlich zu KOLOSS wird es auch PERSONAL Stuff und vielleicht auch bald AURORA Sachen geben.
Schaut also mal vorbei und kauft was das Zeug hält.

Again a really cool and smooth riding video by Ole from fixie.no.
Sit back and enjoy this ride in the wonderful town of Oslo.

A big thank you for all the support and kind words.

Nico from Fixed Gear Braunschweig:
“I rode the straps for weeks, and I can honestly say that these are a solid solution for foot retention on a fixed gear for tricks. They are great. Good fit, comfy, and your bike control increase drastically from straps and clips. Hand-made in Germany and you’ll NEVER need to buy toe clips again! Definitely worth the money.”

Ole from Fixed Gear Norway:
“These straps are amazing in traffic! Feels like a real, comfy upgrade from my MKS cages. They are practically designed to bomb hills and spin around in Oslo’s challenging streets. Get a pair of your own…”

We received a lot orders in the first two weeks and send out most of the them so far, but still hard working on getting the rest done.
We are really sorry if it takes a while for some customers.
The straps are all handmade and we only do them in our spare time, since we got jobs and school to do.
Another thing for a possible delay is the german post, we ship the straps as a letter to keep the shipping costs low, but as a post office clerk told me, shipping over seas can take up to 5-6 weeks. So keep this in mind while waiting.

We are looking for a faster method to ship, but there are not really many possibilities for a decent price.

I put the straps offline in the onlineshop, so that we can get all orders done. They will be online again in about a week.

The straps are back online now. We decided to choose another shipping method. It’s just slightly faster for over sea shipping, but its registered and secure. So it might take some time, but will def. arrive. This adds around 2,15€ to every package i send out, so i added 2€ to the normal strap price.

I think most of you agree that this is the best way to do it.

Ride safe!

Our straps are now available at the AURORA onlineshop.

In the last month we made a lot straps, send them around the world and let our friends test them aswell. We got really good and helpful feedback from a lot people and improved the design of our first version.

Our straps are:
- 100% handmade in germany
- made from durable fabrics for industrial use
- easy to adjust
- made for road and track pedals, but also fitting for platform pedals
- can be used with cages/clips
- available in 6 colorways

Price:
25€ inclusive shipping to germany
30€ inclusive world wide shipping

You can get your pair in our onlineshop, it works perfect with paypal.
All german customers can also drop a line with their order.

We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.

We are also up for wholesale orders.

My good friends from the band ALIAS CAYLON made their first music video. They are playing for about 9 years now and toured a lot. Until now they only released two albums – the second in february 2009. They got tons of positive reviews so far and really deserve to be noticed. 
For me the video is a first step to a much wider audience. 
They will be on tour around november:

 
When you like bands like At the drive in, Samiam, …. and something that sounds really different.

Since velcro straps are pretty comfy to ride with, but pretty expensive and mostly made for platform pedals, my girlfriend and i decided to make our own. High quality, but for a better price and of course fitting for road and track pedals. We are working and developing the first versions and currently testing the prototypes shown on the pictures. The first impression is pretty good, they feel pretty good on the road and seem to be very durable. 

We only used high quality fabric for industrial use, all fabrics we use are made in germany.
The designs and colorways are just ideas, we will work on this aswell.
As you can see on the pictures we got two different versions for now, not sure if the one with buckle will be produced but it is nice to easy tighten the strap with that technique. 

Tell us what you think about them… and stay tuned.

Not much of a fixed gear scene over there, but there is one guy trying to establish some kind of onlineshop in the next month. Hopefully this will help to build a scene in the future.

He runs a nice blog and is a friendly guy. Get in touch with him, when you are around.

Check his blog: The Ride Projekt.

But there are some nice street artists around town, hopefully i can see some of their works on the streets.
