Sugar Spokes are a female bike crew out of Melbourne and chose to get 2 sets of caps. One all pink caps with white printing and tape and then reverse of white caps with pink details. They look very cute and I hope the girls enjoy riding with them and showing them off in Melbourne.

So far the caps have also caught the eye of Double Oh Two and Le Pista Resistance, contact Sugar Spokes if you'd like one of your very own.

As always if your crew, shop, club etc would like some custom caps made just drop Rocket Fuel an email and we'll have you riding in style in no time.

602nds is a new Australian based website giving reviews, interviews and covering all things cycling. Rocket Fuel jumped at the chance to have their bubbly personality CycleGirl review one of our caps.

After a fact finding phonecall to find out what colour her main bike was, a cap was dispatched in matching colours for her to review.

And what a glowing review it is. Read it here. While your there take some time to check out the rest of the fantastic information and reviews on the 602nds site. You can also follow them on twitter @602nds and CycleGirl can be found on twitter as @CycleGirlPdC

Following on with showing all the custom caps we've been making lately here are some super fun ones we did for Cheeky Transport in Newtown.

The guys designed them to look like juggling balls and they look fantastic!

We also did some all back caps for them as well.

Get in touch with Cheeky to pick one up for yourself.

Apologies for not great quality photos was using my phone as camera was out of commission for a few days.

These caps were for Brighton Mitre in the UK and have been a big hit with the team. With contrast panels, multi colour digital printing and double stripes they look very distinctive and should make a nice addition to their uniform.

Tonight is going to be a fantastic night in Melbourne with a Valentine's Day alleycat with all proceeds going to Spokes in the Wheel.

All the details are on the flier, get along have some fun and get a chance to win some great merchandise including some Rocket Fuel jumpers!

The night started at a friends with wine and cheese with some jazz on in the background, cool, clam and sophisticated….that was not an indicator of things to come.

Leaving there we made our way to The Cricketers to be greeted with a sea of bikes and riders.

Luckily Lewis found me and gave me my checkpoint position, a box of lucky dip cards, the 2nd manifest and a bottle of rum, I gave him the winners red cap and we were off, back up to Oxford street and riding hard to make all the green lights on our way to the corner of Park and Elizabeth.

Grabbed the phone called Lewis to tell him we were ready and now it was the calm before the storm.

Patrick comes by with a spare pair of carbon wheels in his backpack, not in the event just swinging by to say hello.

Riders started to arrive and we got into the rhythm of lucky dip card, stamp first manifest, hand out 2nd manifest and if they pulled a blooper card they had to take a shot. More and more started to arrive and were scrambling to jump ahead of the others while I tried to make sure it was first there first served. Full to the brim shots were being downed with some riders disappointed to not pull a blooper card, as they wanted the rum. Riders who don’t drink alcohol were told to drop and do push ups.

Scott nearly lost his bike to a passing 14 year old girl and was telling her ‘it’s fixed you won’t be able to ride it” but the fact the top tube was closer to her chest height may have been the determining factor to her not being able to ride it?

Bright lights coming across the intersection were dazzling as a De Rosa with Ay-Ups accompanied an all white BMX complete with Tuffs.

Got calm again and the mozzies started to attack us while we waited, quick search of our bags proved that we had indeed forgotten the mozzie repellent.

Riders were coming in singles and pairs now, one painted all green, Stefan covered in balloons, Meg and Emily looking super cute in their Princess outfits.

Suddenly it was all quiet and we only had a scattering of riders coming by. The other checkpoints passed us going back to the pub but we thought we’d give it a few more minutes before we left.

One last rider and then Lewis calls to say head on back. Pack up head up William street stop for Thai food on Victoria Street and then feel too full to ride anymore so head home instead.

 

Great night out, thanks to everyone who organised, rode, supported and congratulations once again to Le Pista Resistance for an awesome event.

Said hi to some friends, sadly didn't find any 650 wheels that would suit one of our new bikes and got a little toasted in the sun.

Great day out, can't wait for the next one, more photos to be found on the Rocket Fuel events page.
