Freakazoid got a NOS XO-1 frame and made it his project to build it up with the factory-spec parts....mostly NOS or near-mint condition. Never rode it. Ricockulous, but he's going to get a big chunk of change for his trouble...bid is at $1225, with almost 4 days left of bidding.

1997-ish design, but totally up-to-date info on the state of helmets: new trends, obscure manufacturers, etc. Even sections on fitting extra-large heads, round (i.e. Asian) heads, and on and on. Super comprehensive.

Curious how this will turn out: "Los Angeles-based photographer Jonas Lara faces up to a year in prison if convicted of aiding and abetting two graffiti artists whose work he was documenting when the three men were arrested on February 2, 2010 in South Central Los Angeles."

"The craziness is methodical, however, and Robic and his crew know its pattern by heart. Around Day 2 of a typical weeklong race, his speech goes staccato. By Day 3, he is belligerent and sometimes paranoid. His short-term memory vanishes, and he weeps uncontrollably. The last days are marked by hallucinations: bears, wolves and aliens prowl the roadside; asphalt cracks rearrange themselves into coded messages. Occasionally, Robic leaps from his bike to square off with shadowy figures that turn out to be mailboxes. In a 2004 race, he turned to see himself pursued by a howling band of black-bearded men on horseback."

Catlike gets CPSC certification, which I think is bad news because I get grossed out whenever I see anyone wearing their freaky organic-looking lids...looking like aliens with giant, vented heads...ick.

"The Urban Assault Ride™ is a truly unique cycling event...and quickly becoming one of the biggest in country! Here's how it works: You and your teammate will set out on a city-wide quest for 'checkpoints' on your favorite two-wheeled steeds. At each checkpoint, you'll drop your bikes and complete a funky/adventurous obstacle course, then remount your bikes and hit the streets for more. "
