“Founded in 2008, RnR is the union of personalities from different backgrounds inspired by both the world of skateboarding and 80’s by Marcel Duchamp, the world of Hell’s Angels or the career of Bernard Hinault.
(…)
In 2009, after organizing a series of wild disguise wrinkles, film screenings, of Rolla contests, they decide to embark on a new project: “RocknRollin Classics” that will attempt to revisit the classics of cycling but a fixed gear.
(…)
Parties on the road for more than 260kms in hostile terrain (53kms of pavement), unprepared, with inadequate bike, everyone will have to adjust to another so that the group survives to the end.
(…)
The result is a magnificent collection of images taken on the spot by Ros and Yann making a film that goes beyond the original idea to keep a souvenir.
Interviews with various personalities enrich the film and provide information about the context of this legendary race by creating a narrative rhythm that accompanies cyclists to Roubaix.”

“During the summer, fans and competitors fill the stands as the voice of the velodrome talks about talent, tactics and fun before the start of Tuesday Night races.”
“The Red Hook Criterium (RHC) is an unsanctioned race held at night featuring a fixed gear criterium and a 5km running race held over multiple laps of a short technical circuit. The field consists of elite athletes, track stars, amateur runners, professional cyclists, bike messengers, and urban cyclists. The RHC was born in the post-industrial Brooklyn neighborhood Red Hook.
This unique event combines the underground art of street racing with the intensity of high level competition in a spectacular urban environment.
First held in 2008 to celebrate organizer David Trimble’s birthday, the RHC has established itself as a prestigious and much loved event in both the local community and greater athletic world. This fast, intense, and spectator friendly race is the pinnacle of a weekend of events that includes dinners, art exhibitions, parties, and group bicycle rides and runs.”
“Last october 2010, Dosnoventa was founded in the city of Barcelona, as the result of the interest of two old friends and well-known city riders, lovers of quality products and with a large professional experience in the world of the fixed wheel.
The synergy that bonds them is what spurs them to the production of bikes, for themselves and for their friends, with the mission of offering their crew a great product using the best materials, with a very studied aesthetics, geometry and image, built by the best craftsmen but with a very competitive price.
The first frames are delivered and the brand quickly becomes a cult object and a local reference. Since then the Dosnoventa family won’t stop growing: a team of great riders is created to represent the brand, three models of frame came on to the market,… But above all, a superb team working behind scenes for this project, sharing a lifestyle and a love for the urban culture, thanks to which Dosnoventa is now set up an reknowned for its quality, style and authenticity.”
