After moving on the Cinelli I was on the hunt for something a bit cheaper. Here is what I ended up with…

Ralph built this bike up with the help of the guys at Capital Cycles.

Built super burly, it was originally a GT 29er. Ralph made a few changes to it and now uses it as his trick bike.

While away in Italy last November/December I picked up a wee new toy which has been under wraps… until now!

I’m always changing something on my bikes. Here is my current bike. I think it will probably be for sale really soon.

More pics inside…

I had to mill out the rear drop-outs for extra chain tension but so far she’s rollin’ sweet.

The old school BMX cranks are awesome as is the 42×18 ratio for trickability …and yes, she is 700c barspinable Total cost: $42.95

…Fork snaps at the crown doin’ 30ish on flat road resulting in…

…A deep ass graze down to raw flesh, Yummas!!!

With two of the most influential fixed free riders in Japan at the Moment (Tom Lamarche and Ed wonka) as well as the quest for inspiration on a new bike I’m working on, Ive been trawling a lot of Japanese Fixed footage. This Video shows how killer those cats are becoming  as well as another way to look at building a fixed gear bike for this style of riding.

Who’s got thoughts on riding a 29r Frame with 700c wheels?

Cinelli has released their catalogs for 2010 products recently. They feature a few things that might be of interest to the fixed gear crowd.

Well I’ve finally managed to convince myself that my black 79′ Vincolo trick bike is too small for me…(duh kinda was obvious)

It’s for sale here. parts list is in the auction, winner get’s the bad boy selection of stickers on it too! for free… (only coz I can’t peel them off and put them on my new bike) which I can’t get till this sells so go on, empty your pockets.

wu tang forever!

So, while we are on the weird bike buzz, I thought I would include this puppy.

…It would almost be cool if it weren’t for that disc up front.
