Fixed Magazine issue 003 has been available in print form at select bike stores around the world for a while now, but for those of us not fortunate enough to be a biking distance from any of the stockists, the Fixed Mag guys have just put up the PDF version on their site.
Besides featuring the Eurotrip, the magazine also includes reviews on bike makers, famous fixie blogs as well as a section on the latest and most wanted gears for fixie riding. Log on here to view issue 003, but be patient as your browser needs to load a little over 16MBs of data.
Looking for a pair of pants in which you could cycle up and down hills to work and still look smart the whole day? The Outlier 4Season OG Pants is your solution. Constructed out of the highly water and grease resistant Schoeller Dryskin Extreme fabric, the pants stretches when you ride and returns to fit again when you’re off the bike. Available in grey and black, they’re said to fit like the Levis 501 jeans with a slimmer leg and standard 34″ inseams.
The Outlier 4Season OG Pants is available for purchase at the Outlier online store and is priced at USD 180.

A few months ago we showed you this custom bike that the Fixed Gear London crew put together; it was what they thought a Vans fixed gear bike should look like. Now, after spending so much time and effort working on the project, they’re doing what most dare not and are giving it away in an international competition open to all!
All prospective participants have to do is create a short 2-3 minute film of themselves, there’s no theme but it must be based around fixed gear riding. Entries will be judged by Andy and Ted of Fixed Gear London, and they’ll be looking at creativity rather riding ability. Upload your entries to the Mpora/Fixed Channel over here – come on, put South East Asia on the map!
