Bill Cosby is the man, that’s why we have our beloved “Cosby says” Shirt to pay tribute to him and his life.

Some month ago we discovered AH310, a small german cycling cap maker from Karlsruhe. They make cycling caps from old/new T-Shirts, which is a awesome idea. From the first look at those great caps, it was clear that we want to collaborate with them. This limited cycling cap is the result. Absolute stunning and unique work.

It is made of a new “Cosby says” Shirt and comes in a medium size. This means it fits most heads around 55cm-58cm. Perfectly handcrafted in Germany.

This limited cycling cap is definitely one of a kind. Be quick and get yours. Other sizes on request.

Finally we got something new for you guys. These are our AURORA velcro straps V2.
In summer 2009, we started working on a foot retention system for fixed gear bikes and released our classic velcro strap version for track and road pedals.
Since then we thought about a specific platform pedal version too. Finding the right materials that will meet our demand was really difficult, but finally we found the right stuff.
Our bottom construction is remarkably strong and super stiff. Also the crank will no be scratched, when the straps are installed correct. The angle of the velcro strap construction allows to easy step in and feel secure while riding hard.

The straps can take a serious beating and are perfect for commuting, bike polo, fixed gear freestyle and what ever you like to do with them.
As always, these are handmade by us and you can count on the quality.

Since we are really happy with this release we thought it would be great to offer our new V2 velcro straps bundled with perfectly fitting pedals. You can get our AURORA velcro straps V2 with Animal Hamilton Pedals and also with the awesome Fyxation Pedals. Check it out and get your pair of AURORA velcro straps V2 with pedals.

This is Max Ritter. He lives and rides in Berlin.
Yesterday he and his friend and photographer Kevin Hankel went out for a session at the Museum of Technology in Berlin Kreuzberg. Max tried a BS 5-0 at the gnarly and steep wallride under the bridge. Sadly the spot wasn’t in good shape and so it needed a touch up to continue. They went to the hardware store, bought some filler and filled the cracked concrete. DIY style. When the filler was dry, Max tried the BS 5-0 again, but unfortunately the lack of speed just allowed a really high wallride…
In the end there is still a unfinished business for Max, but some really nice shots from this session.

There is more to come…

Max is sporting the AURORA 5 Panel Cap, the “Crest” Socks and of course the “Cosby says” shirt.

We visited Berlin last weekend. Fashion Week and we are right in the middle. Not.
The only Tradeshow we visited was the 13th edition of the Bright Tradeshow. A nice small show, with a lot great people.

But we also had some time to meet friends in town, party and also have a closer look at this great city. On one side the streetwear scene, nice neighborhoods with small shops, galeries and bars, on the other side touristic sightseeing overkill like every metropolis. And we were lucky enough to find the “Basic Instincts” Exhibition about Dutch Design. Really great, we recomment to have a closer look before it is over. Sadly weekends are too short, to discover more.
But we got some impressions from this trip…

We are proud to be featured in the X-Ray Magazine #311. It is just a small corner in the magazine, but X-Ray is the leading European fashion industry trade magazine and it is great to see that AURORA slowly but surely makes his mark.

It’s no secret, we are working on a large Messenger Bag for some month now. But developing a technical and rugged Messenger Bag, takes a lot time and materials. So we are prototyping and testing a lot, to finally release something really great and something that will last. On the way to our large Messenger Bag, we thought it would be fun to release our smallest Bag as a kind of foretaste first.
So here it is, our AURORA Micro Messenger Pouch.
This small Pouch is a perfect companion to keep your important items and gadgets in place. Put your wallet, phone, camera, keys, moleskine, pens, etc. in our Micro Messenger Pouch and you are ready to go.
It is made from durable 1100d Cordura, features a YKK velcro closure and a YKK D-Ring.
As always, high quality stuff handmade in Germany.
