Aurora

Hi!
Sorry for not writing something in the last weeks. There has been a lot of work to do and so i concentrated on making and sending out straps, and of course get other things done, instead of hanging around in the internet.
Hope you don’t mind.
There are some news for you.

The AURORA x Monow Jerseys arrived and look awesome, I’m really happy with them. All preorders are on the way.
Also there was a huge interest in our Jerseys, so I’m currently thinking about getting a second run done for those who missed the first. Stay tuned for this.

I will leave germany on 17th of July for about two weeks.
I’m going to sweden with a friend of mine. With car, bike and tent we are riding around south sweden. Very excited about this.
Maybe this will cause some delay on sending out straps, but I will try to manage this. If you are from south sweden, feel free to drop a line and maybe we can meet up somewhere on the road.

Speaking of bike traveling, I have to mention this great project: www.vamosalaplaya.org
Six fixed gear rider and a van from Stuttgart to Barcelona. About 1500 km in less than two weeks. I support those guys with some gear and hope they will have a great days. I bet this will be a epic ride and experience for them.

And last but not least: New straps colorways available, check out the store and get a pair. The purple/yellow ones are limited!

I had a great weekend in Hannover. So much fun, great people, crazy races and of course a BBQ.
Check out H-FXT, this link or my flickr for some pictures of the whole weekend.
Sorry for all those who order Straps the last week, i got a lot to do at the moment, so the shipping will be delayed a bit.

The AURORA jerseys are on the way and at the printer, i’m curious to receive them. Also there will be new strap colorways released in the next two weeks. We are hard working to get them online as fast as possible and if we have some time, we will hopefully release a all new version of the straps in june.

Good times.

AURORA collective teamed up with MONOW, a one-man design studio based in Stuttgart/Germany.
Together we designed 3 unique Bike Jerseys / Jackets. All with a simple but sophisticated style,
because we don’t wanted to create something that makes you look like a advertising pillar.
Our designs will look good on and off bike, whether you ride in the mountains or in the urban environment.

The Jerseys and Jackets are made of high quality materials by Champion System.
They will move and breath with you, so that you can concentrate on riding your bike.

We offer each design in a short sleeve and long sleeve version and you can choose from full zip or 3/4 zip. Also each design as available as a Winter Riding Jacket. This Jacket is windproof and got a three-layer fleece. So it will keep you warm even in the coldest situations.

Check out the AURORA webshop and preorder your jersey. Preorder is over!

All prices include shipping, packaging and of course some nice stickers…
The Jerseys and Jackets will be shipped in the beginning of july.
If you got questions please feel free to drop a line.

When you are interested in a whole kit, please let us know.
On request we got Shorts and Bib Shorts/Tight available aswell.

Ride safe.

Time for news!

First of all i would like to thank all the great people, who support AURORA and bought straps and shirts in the last month. I hope you all enjoy our work.
I’m really busy at the moment to get all orders on the way and besides this, i’m hard working on new stuff. So please don’t be mad at us, for a bit more waiting time. We are doing our best.
When everything works as i planned, the summer will be a great. Keep the 1st of august in mind.
Hopefully this is the date, when a whole new AURORA collection will launch and only be available through our onlineshop. There are severeal shirts in the making, a zipper, a jacket, a u-lock belt and much more…

Another heart-thing is a second issue of the AURORA artzine. Many of you ordered a copy of the first issue with the straps and i think most of you liked it. Sadly the first issue was released long ago and there wasn’t the time to get out the second one. But this summer i really would like to release it with the help of you all.
Some of you might wonder about the “collective” in the name, but this is exactly the point where i need all people around AURORA.
The second issue will have a focus on photography. I would love to get photographers from all over the world together and merge their best photographs together in this neet little AURORA magazine.

I’m looking for pictures from fixed gear and bike enthusiasts, bikes with AURORA straps, bikes with chicks, skateboarding, portraits, urban/streetlife connected with skateboarding or bike riding and stuff like that. But there is no must, if you got a picture that might fit, send it over aswell.
If you think you got quality shots, please drop a line and send over a preview to info(at)aurora-collective.com.

I’m really looking forward to your contributions and your work is not for nothing.
Every photographer who gets coverage in the magazine will be credited as he wishes and will receive a nice package as a thank you.

The magazine will be full-color offset printed in a edition of 1000 and the content will be advertisment free.
If there are companies that might want to collaborate or support this magazine, i would offer a logo placement on the back side.

I’m really curious about all this and i hope you are too.
Thanks and stay tuned for more…
