Hej,
good news! I’m happy to announce that AURORA will share a booth with the good people at 8bar bikes at this years Berliner Fahrrad Schau. Last year, together with Force Effect, was a great experience and it’s great to be part of the tradeshow again.
Check out my impressions of last years event.

Since the new apparel collection is still in the making, I will give you the chance to grab some real bargains on available AURORA gear. Also I will premiere the upcoming AURORA velcro straps colorways, which will drop online next week.

So come over check out the great 8bar bikes and their two stunning new releases and also say Hello to AURORA.

If you are from germany and need something to read for the weekend or on your way to the Berliner Fahrrad Schau, check out the Spoke Magazine. The latest issue is out now and features a short interview with yours truly.

See you there,

Sebastian

“Gude Zeit” = “Good Times”

That’s what’s it all about.

The force that guides and moves us!
My friend Lorenzo Taurino collected adventures, stories, anecdotes and photographs from his journies and added some more of close friends. All this composed in a neatly printed zine.
Also included is the custom made AURORA x AH310 Bill Cosby Cycling Cap.
I’m really proud to be a small part of this first issue.

You get this zine for free with every order, just add it to your cart and other products.
But feel free to donate something to GUDE ZEIT, if you like to support it and want to help to release more issues!

One year ago, two close friends of mine finally opened their own store called “Reverie“.
They had a great year and gained a lot attention and positive feedback with their concept.
Besides a nice selection of brands you just rarely find in german shops, they’ve also managed to keep it down to earth and really friendly. It’s always great to see happy customers around the store who just feel good visiting, talking or chilling there.

We often talked about a collaboration and I thought it would be great to have something to celebrate their first year. So I started the collaboration on my own as a suprise.
On the last saturday they celebrated their birthday with close friends and customers. With DJ, cake and drinks it was a nice event and a good opportunity to finally reveal this collaboration!

The result is a highly limited and upgraded edition of the AURORA Compact Messenger Bag. Along all the other features I added a stabilizer belt, a custom Logo patch attached with velcro and also a additional layer of 1100D Cordura for the bottom.
I only made 10 of them.
To complete the look I also added a entirely new AURORA Hooded Zipper with a custom Logo patch, also limited to 10 pieces. This zipper is the first AURORA cut & sew piece.

Both items are only available at the REVERIE store in Münster / Germany or on request.

Make sure to check out the store, if you have the chance.

Not much to share these days, but as always I’m really busy.
In the next weeks there will be some really really nice releases. So until then enjoy those pictures and stay tuned.
Thanks again to Oliver Playford, who took these awesome pictures of Mianzi.

Not to mention that she is rocking AURORA V1 Velcro Straps and a “Intl known” Shirt. Good looks.

AURORA for good people.

Hej,
the Olympic Games are over and it was a great event. Though I sadly couldn’t be in London and attend the events, I watched Olympia over Streams and TV as often as possible.
The good people in Great Britain did a great job and so did all the athletes.

As some of you might have noticed in previous posts, a little part of my work was also going to be at the Olympic Games. So I was really curious to see the Track Events. The German Track Team is one of the best in the world and they had only to show it again. Two riders of the team, Maximilian Levy and Kristina Vogel, where racing with AURORA velcro straps (the sold out AURORA x KEIRIN version) for a long time now and achieved several medals in other competitions, but the Olympic Games are hard to top.

So to make it short. The Olympic Games were really successful, especially the Olympic Track Cycling Events and I feel proud to be a (really) small part of it. Kristina Vogel and Miriam Welte won the Gold Medal in the Women’s Team Sprint event. Kristina also made it to the 4th place in the Women’s Sprint.
Maximilian Levy won the Bronze Medal with Rene Enders and Robert Förstermann in the Men’s Team Sprint. But this wasn’t all, the most-anticipaded event was the Men’s Keirin.
Maxmilian Levy was focused and performed great in all Keirin races, for some seconds in the last round of the final he even overtook Sir Chris Hoy. But in the end Sir Chris Hoy could set free some extra power and got back the first place. It was a stunning race. Maxmilian Levy won the Silver Medal.

Hats off to the German Team and thank you for using and trusting the AURORA straps!
