MY STOLEN BIKE

13 06 2009

My shit got ripped off right out of the shop….when I was in the back office! Next person I catch stealing from me may never walk again much less ride a bike, this is MY personal ride so to say the least this is personal, these parts are VERY obvious, I’ll hook up a FREE “Pake” frameset or deep V wheelset for the person that finds my bike, or at least the front wheels, stem and seat….I’d be alright with that, bring it, who’s got the balls to step up?

shitty cell phone pic, it had a flat black Vuelta 3″ deep V on the back with a yellow tire….

Just show me where the bike is, or address and you are hooked up, no names dropped.

AMARO FAT TIRE

24 04 2009

This is the obvious next step in fixed gear.  Count me in for hammering on a dirt road and laying some 50 ft skids down, maybe even hitting a few jumps.  These guys have some great products. AMARO

BRINGING BACK RALEIGH

16 04 2009

The realm of Raleigh may be on it’s way back to the US. If you didn’t know, Raleigh was a major power player back in the day, with innovative designs and top riders on the pedals. I know they are still a pretty big player in Europe. I found a really cool old photos and some of their newest “urban” bikes, they’re fixie looks pretty dope, all set with Sugino Messengers; just remove brakes, add some new wheels and it’s ready to roll.

How rad is this vintage track bike? Look at the size of that chainring!

Mercier Kilo TT project bike

21 11 2008

Okay so I came across a powder coated black Mercier Kilo TT, Reynolds 520 Chromoly steel butted frame and i’m going to build it up LEGIT. It will be good for my off days on the road bike, my fixie fix hasn’t been getting fixed the past couple months.  I’m stoked because this is my first project bike that I’m planning on keeping, and through all the bikes we’ve built i’ve managed to build up a really cool collection of parts, vintage and new, like a Cinelli stem, a brown Brooks Saddle, some sick vintage track drops, pedals, cranks, etc.  I’m not totally sure about what is going into this thing but I can guarantee it’s going to be sick. BLK/YLW/BRN/, and thats it.

RVCA X CINELLI X BARRY McGEE

22 10 2008

Yes I know this is old, it dropped back in June, but I had to post it.  Cinelli and RVCA? I got one word for that, RAD. I have a good buddy Russ Pope that does art for RVCA, Barry McGee’s art can be similar to his (trust me I wouldn’t accuse either of these dudes of biting) Cinelli is an old bike company form Italy with tons of heritage. Having been in the clothing business for 8 years now I’ve always respected what the guys at RVCA have done, and what they are still doing. I heard Lance Armstrong bought like 15 of these bikes…..sick.I guess tt was a limited to a run of 50 bikes in 3 different sizes; 54, 56 and 58. The bike is priced at $2,100 US for the frame or $3,700 US for the complete, good conversation piece for the house ;)

FIXING FOR A TRADE???

16 09 2008

This frame was brought to me by a super cool guy from West LA, he’s an ex roadie turned fixie, actually he’s an attorney that rides fixed gears to the office…I thought “RAD!” so he has this awesome looking Giant aluminum frame put together with some great parts.  We are in the process of painting a vintage frame and getting it ready to roll with the parts from this bike.  Right after he left I changed the bars with some bullhorns, put some extra aqua tape I had laying around, the old seat from my road bike and rode it around the block a few times, even though I had just finished my first 50+ mile ride on my road bike I couldn’t wait to try it out. This bike is cruising around under my feet as we speak, it’s a work in progress, stay tuned because I’m going to build it for myself and do some crazy S$%T to it, let me know what you think. (Keep in mind here we love all bikes, for all you non vintage and roadie haters out there…. and yes it has a light on the bars, getting pulled over sucks) ANY IDEAS FOR THE NEW SCHOOL FIXIE?????? I GOT A FEW….
