Soladay wins two in a row on Kazane

Tom Soladay and Team Mtn Khakis has won two consecutive races in the USA Crits Speedweek Series - The Historic Roswell Crit and the Beaufort Crit. Once again Mark Hekman was on the podium in 3rd at Beaufort. Team Mtn Khakis now has a solid lead in the team classification in the series. All of this is being done on Kazane frames and wheels!

Team Mountain Khakis Conquers!

Congratulations to Team Mountain Khakis! Tom Sollady just won the Roswell Crit in Georgia (NRC and Round 2 of USA Crits Speedweek), and Mark Hekman took 2nd at Athens Twilight. I was there for Twilight and it was an impressive display by the entire team. Richmond Pro Cycling also made their national-level debut and did not disappoint. Expect more from both teams all week.

I don't mean to hate but.....

"Outlier just launched their Merino Wool preorder. You know the drill by now. Hand made in NYC from premium merino wool, which is more environmentally friendly than cashmere and wont stink like hell after you wear it day after day after day."
-everybody knows where this came from.
I don't want to pick on people and/or companies, but just when the hell did cashmere even enter the equation in cycling clothes. Are they trying to fool us into believing that it's what we used to use? Maybe I'm just off the back and just don't know what people are wearing in the big city, but I doubt there's someone thinking, "man, this outlier hoodie is way less smelly than that cashmere hoodie I was thinking about buying, and it only takes 2/3 of my unemployment check to buy it rather than the whole thing!"
I'm not knocking anyone's purchasing decisions or the price of the hoodie. It's their business and I appreciate the fact that it's US-made out of an environmentally friendly material. I'm going to stop now.

i hate ebay

but my friend aaron has some nice stuff on there now - a pink/yellow watanabe bought from keirin culture 3 years ago, a big bomber pro, sugino 75 cranks, gold nitto stuff, vintage white turbo saddle. see it all here.

2 stratos frames

Just added 2 more Stratos used NJS frames on keirin culture at a great price.

not sure what i think of theo bos right now

That's track legend Theo Bos grabbing Tour of Turkey leader Daryl Impey's jersey and bringing them both down. Impey still won the overall because it was in the final sprint of the last stage but ended up with some serious injuries. Theo's not really giving trackies a good name right now.

nice photo

I just found some pictures of the Tour of Murietta (CA) on this website ironstring.com. For some reason this one caught my eye.

$20 White Tires!

i just added some new tires to the keirin culture webstore - 700x23 and 28 CST all white tires. The best part is that they're only $20 each. These make great street tires and seen pretty durable, especially for the price.

Stratos!

2 for sale on keirinculture.com.

more pics

Natas Bike

Here are the pics from the Kazane/Natas Kaupas collaboration bike. This is definitely not for sale. For now it can be viewed at the Keirin Culture shop in Roanoke but it might make some appearances elsewhere. Thanks to Kip Dawkins for the photos.

For Sale - not anymore

I just put these on ebay for sale. It's a pair of vintage 36h Record track hubs with drilled flanges. Really good condition.
*I SOLD THESE OFF EBAY. CAN'T DEAL WITH IT ANYMORE.
