Zach from Trackstar appears in the latest issue of Cog Magazine, a pretty great fixed gear bike mag. The ad reads, “Meet Zach - Cusses like a sailor and rides like a warrior poet.” Not coincidentally, you can pick up the magazine in the shop for free (231 Eldridge St.). We got ours smuggled over the Canadian border.
In other news, Dov Charney’s sexual harassment and wrongful termination lawsuit went to trial on Tuesday.
It’s confirmed that Kanye West stopped into Trackstar this week to cop a new bike. It’s not one of the DQM x Trackstar track bikes either, but a Cinelli Vigorelli. No news yet on how it’s built up, but we can only imagine the finest components and bling.
Above, we ponder how Kanye West would look riding his new track bike in space. Prolly says that DQM already taught him how to skid, so he’s probably working on his Kevin Bacon dismounts by now.

All 11 BMX inspired track bikes designed by Dave’s Quality Meats and Trackstar were put on display this weekend. Photos of all 11 bikes after the jump.
Huf has photos of the track bike from DQM and Trackstar. Bianchi’s Pista Concept never looked so cute. We don’t usually call things ‘cute’ but white Aerospoke wheels look like Playmobil for adults, so it just sort of slipped out.
Update: More details on Chris Keeffe’s blog:

If Gabe Morford and Mike Martin’s MASH SF video is about “commitment to every line, corner, and hill” and “going as fast as you can” then Trackstar’s NASH NYC is about commitment to every bong skid and text message backwards circle.
Watch MASH after you check out Trackstar’s parody. It’s funnier that way.
