Alleycat Sponsor Profile: HUNTING LODGE

Hunting Lodge is a store/gallery based in Oslo, Norway:

"…selling exclusive designer led products from around the world. The direction of the store has its roots in contemporary street-wear. The main product will be clothing, which will be complemented by art, books, toys and accessories. It intends to be a platform for new and established artists, show casing work through exhibitions and products. "

Sion hooked up the sponsorship in this case, as far as I know the dudes are from Wales and he knows them. It's fairly unlikely that you are gonna pop over to Norway to go to the shop but they have tonnes of cool stuff in their web store. They stock real designer gear, the kind you get in that London, it's killer stuff. Tees, sweaters, hoods, sunnies, shoes, shirts, trousers, they've got the lot. A few of my faves are below, click on them to go to the website!

Alleycat Sponsor Profile: URBAN HUNTER

Urban Hunter is an online shop that has this to say about itself:

"Urban Hunter is all about being on the bike in the city and the kit that goes with it, mixed together with our love of track and road racing. This is functional urban cycling gear made by people who care about their products, allowing you to get out on the bike and look good while riding."

I think of Urban Hunter as being a bit underground, I don't know if I am right but going to the site is a bit like finding a brilliant shop that you've never heard of but feel like you should have been to a loooooong time ago. They sell, mostly, clothing and bags and have a huge selection of both as well as a bunch of accessories like tool pouches, wallets and top tube protectors. Their selection of fixed gear specific t-shirts is next to none so make sure to leave the t-shirt page on the computer for your other half to see if your birthday is coming up, haha.

Best Find Ever: Charity Shop Fixie

Today the unthinkable happened, Aled from Slam on the Breaks was walking past the back door of a charity shop, glanced in and to his amazement he spotted a golden fixie and a Raleigh converted to a dirty singlespeed! He picked up the pair for TWELVE QUID which not only makes me sick to the stomach but also to my socks. It's a bit (way) too big for him but he's gonna give the fixie a bash and he donated the other to Re-Cycle. So, Aled, welcome to the bestest gang in the world.
