Kazane Racing on China TV
Written By Unknown on Rabu, 23 Juli 2008 | 05.13
One of China's state TV networks did a story on bike racing in the US and sent a crew to a small race in Blacksburg, VA. Watch here and you can see members of the Kazane factory team, including Stu Louder apparently trying to break his trainer. I can't figure out how to imbed it because everything is in Chinese.

David Butterworth of Major League Cycling says so. Of course, not everything that his company plans comes true. This year the partnership with redroseraces fell apart and all of the racing in the Lancaster area went with it. Read about his plans for the track from out friends at fixedgearfever.com here.

Kazane does road frames and wheels, too. These two guys are on the Richmond-based factory team. This pic is by Hany Hosny and was taken at a crit in Roanoke, VA. The riders are Shawn Tunstall and Stu Louder. Both work as messengers in RVA.

vogue build

This is a Vogue njs frames purchased from keirin culture a few months back, built with the usual suspects - nitto, da, sugino. one thing different about this frame is that i know the original owner. his name is mick, and he's an A-class racer from the omiya track. mick let me borrow his bridgestone road bike to do some training rides with keirin racers. i didn't see him last time i went over hope to next time.
