” The 4th of july 2010!

After the big success of Europe’s first fixed gear tricks and street contest, ‘Premiere’ in Paris, the hyperactive parisian collectif Soundtrack and the rookies Fixed Gear Ketjes from Brussels have
decided to join their forces for a new Contest called “C’est La Merckx”.

C’est La merckx is a off-celebration for Both, the Tour de France crossing by Brussels and the 65th anniversary Of Eddy Merckx.

Forget about Googling translations for “C’est La Merckx”, But surely the participants will scream this sentence when they ride the Ursuline Skate Park in Brussels.

Riders don’t forget to register”

Big Up!

Just could’t resisit posting this!

Political Incorrect? Ach nein …!

Grab Thight

We will be present!

Flwrider “FRAME” Interview with Stijn:

“We catch up with Stijn Deferm, founder of Stijn Cycles, on his recent trip to Hong Kong to support the HK/Shenzhen Biennale which has helped bring cycling to the public eye. 

An ex-Downhill mountain bike champion and having won the Belgium National downhill mountain bike championship 3 times, Stijn tells us about his biking/racing background, past projects and getting in/working in the bike industry for well over 10 years.

With so many generic bikes and brands emerging now, we ask him about his latest venture in building a strong bike brand, the fascination with going back to steel frames, using hi-end Columbus steel tubing and bringing back the old art of fillet brazing and using them in his Stijn Cycles.”

Eddy Merckz by “the Misz”

The Misz was a minimal guitar-synth-world wave band. Back in the 80ies, in Gent, Belgium. They released 3 K7-albums, and can be found on numerous compilations. Their 2nd album “Eddy Merckz” is now – almost 25 years later – released on vinyl by Onderstroom Records in a limited edition of 300 copies. order your copy now on Onderstroom Records.

Beside the usual noise- and experimental-projects there were also great new-wave-bands like The Misz. Eddy Merckz is a good example for the extreme high quality of the 80’s cassette-culture-scene. Their very catchy sound is comparable to early Virgin Prunes with some more pop-appeal; fine harmonies and male/female singer made this band to remarkable milestone in european new-wave, although they unfortunately never reached a bigger audience. And “Eddy Merckz” is in my eyes their best work: politics and music found together…”

Limited to 300 copies pressed on high quality vinyl (160gr.) The first 69 copies will include a yellow screenprinted insert with a picture of Belgians greatest cycler Eddy Merckz.
