    When Team Cars Had Class

    In a time where style, class and character were in abundance, Bill Woodul captured these images of the Pro team cars, wagons and vans in the mid to late seventies. Opel, Peugeot, Citroen, Mercedes, Fiat and BMW and the iconic Merckx Volvo. Pure class without a mega-bus in sight. Hand-painted sponsorship decals by craftsmen with…

    Style Icons: Gert-Jan Theunisse

    Nowadays you would be hard pressed to find a mullet as sensational as the one Gert-Jan Theunisse rocked in the late 80s and early 90s, certainly not in the peloton and only slightly less likely in everyday life. Unless you’re from Rooty Hill, the Hutt, or maybe Shane Archbold, who gives it a pretty good…

    Crazy Nick: A Story Told in Polaroid

    Drinking Black Coffee: The Art Of Steve Crandall

    Living in a bus, painting cups of coffee and building and shredding dirt jumps isn’t the typical life of a 43 year old man, but then again Steve Crandall is far from stereotypical. DIG BMX puts together the pieces of a life less ordinary and one we’d all probably swap our own for.

    Insider Rides: Ryan’s ‘Low Certification’ Chopper

    This build was my first serious “low to no budget” build that would be shown to a large forum and judged on as well by the members of Ratrodbikes.com I can’t even remember how I got the Chopper in the first place,it was all original but missing the back wheel and in a sad state,I…

  • Sagan vs Grandma Joan

    Sagan vs Grandma Joan

    You’ve got to hand it to Specialized, their marketing department is coming up with the goods and making the most of cycling’s biggest personality. We mean Sagan, not Joan, but she’s certainly got the sunglasses dialled.
