I got good news. Ok, maybe for some of you not at all. Our shiny baby Stainless has a new home from now on. Reiner Balke from Offenbach Germany, who we met first at last year´s EHBE show, decided to get his hands on this one-off. He is a bike veteran and started to collect very special bikes back in the 70ies.

The people at Solo will start this summer with a fresh collection of urban cyclewear called Derny. Most probably we will bring the first items to Eurobike show in september. We´ll keep you updated on this. A closer look behind the scenes at Solo can be found here.

I´ve heard of SOLO coming up this summer with it´s own line of high end bibshorts. This looks quite interesting..

We love new and innovative ideas. Even more if the result stays simple and offers real improvements though. Some time ago we received an email from Arndt Menke from Berlin. He was at the final stage of his master thesis at UdK Berlin and needed some parts to complete a frame, which is the object of his work. And it is wood.
