Shepard Fairey x Team RadioShack
Via Hypebeast.
Similar to the "Stages" bikes in 2009, Trek gets Mr. Obey involved and this beauty is the brain child. Look for Team RadioShack stunting on these in 2011 Tour of California.
Cafe Racers
If I were to ever dable in the motorized 2 wheel motion it would be a cafe racer. I just love the simplicity and styling of it. I akin a cafe racer to a fixed gear bike. Broken down to it's simplest form without any of the bells and whistles.

M Power
Via Hypebeast.
I'm going to be honest. The frame looks like any generic asian made carbon frame. I had no idea BMW was into bicycle manufacturing. Motorcycles? Yes. Bicycles? I dunno. And who was their bicycle consultant? Why would you EVER put an Ultegra drivetrain when you're claiming "technically-sophisticated equipment" and "top quality bike"? The drivetrain should've been Di2. The wheelset should've been some 404 carbon clinchers. The list goes on and on.
The only saving grace is the dope M badge. Everything else is meh.

MASHing Mount Baldy
Via Bicycling.
Caught this from, MVC rider, Ryan. Garret from famed MASH SF crew tackled one of 2011's Tour of California climbing stages. The Mt. baldy route was 75 miles and nearly 12k feet of climbing. SOCAL has some of THE BEST cycling routes. Coupled with THE BEST weather year round, and you've got THE BEST riding conditions.
I've never handled anything like Mt. Baldy, but around my hood there's PV. You can get in about 40miles with about 4k feet of climbing or more depending on the route. Not too shabby.

Diesel x Pinny
Via Hypebeast.
You'd think when two iconic Italian brands come together you'd get something magical, something so far forward you'd think someone brought it back in a DeLorean. WRONG. You get this crap. And how does one conjure up the $1200 price tag. OH, i know how. Pinarello was like let's put useless bends on the top tube, seat and chain stays and market it saying it dampens road vibrations.
First of all those bends won't dampen anything because a person who'd cop this wouldn't ride it on the road but on a sidewalk. Second of all, that horrid colorway screams I bought this for fashions. This collabo def caters to a different crowd. Please give me MASH SF x Cinelli crowd pleasers.
Jens Voigt Soundboard
Caught this from, MVC rider, Ryan. Jens. Voigt. Soundboard. SHUT UP BODY AND DO AS I TELL YOU. That dude is back again, but with an army and a soundboard. He's becoming quite an internet sensation. From the Chuck Norris style facts, to the Arnold like soundboard. Jens ain't going no where, because Jens Voigt can touch MC Hammer.
Prank call some cyclist using the soundboard here.
Velo Cult Builds a Hinault LOOK
One of my fave SOCAL bike shop builds an absolutely stunning and deadstock bernard Hinault LOOK. Sky, of Velo Cult fame, had the opportunity to cop a brand new Hinault LOOK from someone in France. He built it up proper going all C-Record. Not sure if it's period correct, but if he's going to ride it not sure you'd want that old school gruppo on there.
The photos above are from the build up. Stay tuned on Velo Cult's blog for photos of the complete.
