These look awesome in matte green with the vented VR-50 lens. Especially when matched to the military-coat Freeman Transport Road Bicycle. They’re limited to 30, specifically made for the Freeman Transport troops. Oakley is stepping right into the cycling world. Again. Hopefully they’re here to stay this time! Bring back the OG Razor Blades!

We’ve all been there before so this photo needs no explanation. Great capture by A Piece of Gen.
This isn’t the first time I’ve posted photos from NZ Tony’s Flickr and it’s sure as hell not going to be the last! His most recent uploads are from Colin Sturgess’ gold medal 5000m individual pursuit final during the 1989 World Track Cycling Championships that were held in Lyon, France. His custom Harry Quinn is bonkers! Check out more photos here on his Flickr.

“The Morgue” off Entrail‘s Tales from the Morgue
Brace yourself for this one! Sometimes it takes a while for a band to get their footing. That’s the case with the Swedish death metal band Entrails. After playing numerous shows and releasing two demos, they finally put out a full-length. Sure, that may not sound like a huge deal but when you take into account that Entrails have been around since 1991 it begins to solidify. Seriously? Almost 20 years of playing and never putting out a full-length? If that doesn’t add some background to the band’s story then I don’t know what will.
In the golden age of death metal, a few bands stuck through the trends and the horrid Göteborg sound I harp on so much here. Entrails is one of those bands and Tales From the Morgue marks this slightly nostalgic throwback in stone. Great songwriting, classicly-compressed riffs and tons of great sound clips will have your feet tapping at your desk. If you can make it through the first track “Intro – Tales From The Morgue”, you’re in for a long ride! Taking older tracks from previous demos and re-recording them in a legitimate sound studio gives the album some extra life. It’s over 20 years in the making for chrissake! “Blood Red” sold me on the album and it’s the first song. Amazing lyrics and composing that took the classic death metal sound and made it into a legitimate genre. No gimmicks just jams.

Chris, you’re killing it! I think I like this series better than the Major Taylor one. Yeah, it’s a tough call but this has so much character! I can’t wait to see the rest, especially the track and fixed bikes.
