Sweet...

Stefan Lantschner seems to be under most people's radars, yet he's one of my favourite riders. As soon as I see mention of a video featuring him or Bruno H I'm generally all over it, and this time it was no exception when I saw Dig had posted a new Stefan L video for Eastpak/Carhartt. Yeah, the song's been used before but it's still rad...



In related video news, there's also this old Stefan/Bruno/Italy video that was on that Mpora account that features the best bike ghost ride I've seen in time at around the 0:40 mark.



Similarly, there's a distinct lack of Kevin Kiraly footage, which is something that needs to change. Fortunately, after an absence from our collective screen, he's got a video bikecheck up on Vital with a few riding clips:



Garrett Reynolds has a new signature frame, which features a seatclamp frighteningly similar to the snap-o-matic UKBikeCo original clamp. Here's hoping it's different (Although having said that, the Low-Pez frame from Premium appears to be straight out the same catalogue as the Revolution frame from Unknown, so I guess it's just the same people knocking out the same frames...)? Anyways, you can probably guess the standard geometry it's going to have - 13.75" rear end, 75deg head angle, 20.5" and 21" toptubes, 11.5" BB - but it is a little heavier than most 'new' frames at 5lbs 2oz. I also refuse to dignify their ridiculous "Certain colours for certain toptube length" setup with an explaination, so you'll have to try and piece it together for yourselves...
