The Radavist

Yikes! The Richard Sachs ‘cross team had but one bike that remained unridden throughout the season. A back up if you will. Now, that bike is up for sale, via Velocipede Salon. I doubt it’ll be cheap but I’d kill for a House Industries Richard Sachs bike!

Head to Velocipede for details.

Edit: turns out, this one sold already…

Don’t do drills, shred the hills!

I love seeing photos like this, especially of Richard Sachs team racer Dan Chabanov. Follow BoneDeth if you don’t!

Shooting a bicycle, you either opt for it being propped up or leaned against a wall and which one you choose depends on your style. Fyxo nails the #BAAW every time and the latest to leave his shop is nothing short of amazing. TK’s Richard Sachs track bike is so clean! See the full set at FYXO!

ATMO, this is a great read for a Monday. Hell, it’s a great read any day of the week. Head over to Red Kite Prayer to see what Richard Sachs has to say about frame building!

This week has been a tough one for jersey collectors. Especially with the cool autumn mornings being here, and the newest from House Industries. Every cyclist should have a wool jersey. I don’t care where you are but rest assured, showing up to a ride in this will get you some attention…

Scoop up a House Industries Script Wool Jersey here!

Seriously, killing it!

Richard Sachs and House Industries have absolutely knocked this project out of the park. After many inquiries, Richard has opened up a pre-order for the House Industries kits. Head over to find out more!

Head over to the House Industries blog to check out more photos from Charm City. I really love this photo of Dan, Brit and ATMO. Nice work guys!

These two names are some of the best of the best, ATMO. Pick up a House Industries for Richard Sachs t-shirt and don’t forget to swoop up the RSCX winter hats and cycling caps here!

Hey ATMO, I really, really admire what you’re doing with your cyclocross team. You’ve taken a signature livery and put it aside to allow some graphic auteurs to re-interpret and re-package it. That takes a lot of confidence and it couldn’t have been easy. But as I’m sure you know, from living a long life as a framebuilder and race sponsor that nothing meaningful is easy.

This is me, telling you that you’re doing it and doing it well.

I’ve always wanted to hang out with Richard Sachs at his home in Warwick, but it’d have to be before cross season, ATMO. Dan Chabanov has been racing under this legend’s name for a few years now and last week, he got to see ATMO’s digs. Check out the full photoset here!

I’m pretty sure the title of this video should be “Richard Sachs Total Badass, ATMO”. Check out a quick video Nick Czerula made while spending a day with Richard.

This is like every Campagnolo collector’s dream. Richard Sachs is selling a complete set of NOS Campy rear derailleurs:

“For sale is my entire collection of Campagnolo derailleurs spanning the late 1950s through the late 1980s. This is among the most complete Campagnolo derailleur collections in existence. It may be the only collection that has every single dated Campagnolo NR rear derailleur in the condition listed here. It is comprised of only NIB/NOS (New In Box/New Old Stock) components. Everything shown for sale is new, never used, not a take-off, free of tool marks, and complete as packed the day it left the loading dock at Vicenza.

All the Nuovo Record derailleurs are marked as shown. They include PATENT, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 11, and NO DATE. Every derailleur comes with the original box and the original instruction sheet. Note:Other than hub locknuts (which are concealed in the assembly) and some Nuovo Record crank arms, I am not aware of any other Campagnolo item that was so overtly date-stamped by year of manufacture. This is a complete set of date-stamped rear derailleurs.

That’s a life-long collection and there’s more!  See all information at Richard Sach’s site and if you have $14,000 laying around with a hankering for some serious Campy commitment, put it to use!

While at NAHBS, Julie Krasniak interviewed Richard Sachs and Rapha just posted it up. Check it out at Rapha!

It’s not everyday that you see a Richard Sachs coated in another color besides his signature red. But then again, it’s not everyday a 1970’s Richard Sachs pista shows up in the hands of Andy at Fyxomatosis. That’s a nice piece of America you’ve got there, mate. See more photos and a great post here.

It’s not often you read words like this from established craftsmen. Builders like Richard Sachs are beyond popular but they aren’t autonomous in their endeavors. Richard gets help a little here and there, including a man who fabricates these head badges in the USA. Read up more here, on the ATMO Blog.

Great photo, ATMO.

I met Tayler, the team photographer for Richard Sachs at the Red Hook Crit dinner this year. She’s a very talented photographer and I’ve long admired her work, before I even knew who she was. Head on over to her Flickr for color photos and her Tumblr for some more black and whites.

I’ve also embedded a slideshow from her Flickr below if you’re feeling click-through lazy.

Like a pagan god signaling the change of seasons, Mr. Richard Sachs is an omen of the ever impending ‘cross season. Once he appears to deliver his team’s frames, the cowbells aren’t too far away.

I’ve been enjoying Dan Chabanov’s photos on his blog and this one just had to be posted. Check out more here.
