This is the current incarnation of my volume cutter.  The lights make it street legal; the risers make it work comfortable; the dametruth decals make it cool.

well typing in bed is a mission so ill keep this short.

taxi van ran me off the road and this is the result…

landed on my hand then face planted.

ambulance ride to wellington hospital. once there this was clear:

Paris Roubaix this Sunday… the only thing between men and hell is two skinny as fuck road wheels; shit gets real!

We’ll all be drinking beer and eating fried french potato. Stay tuned for a time and a venue for the official Dametruth group screening

Finally got the Dodici built up the way she was always meant to be… Vintage OG.

Bike check as follows:

Campagnolo Record Headset

Campagnolo Record Cranks

Selle San Marco Concor saddle

Front wheel: Miche low flange laced radial to velocity Aero with DT Competition

Rear wheel: Miche low flange laced radial/3 cross to Velocity Aero with DT competition

Campagnolo Centaur BB (Don’t ask, it was a bitch)

seatpost, stem, handlebars, blah blah blah.

Anyways… it aint until you ride a thorough-breed that you realise B43s were never designed to go fast, nor is the shitty Giant road conversion with 10 year old running gear they are rollin’ on.

Hidden deep is my new tyre, Time to hit the street!

So a while ago I asked my friend David Murphy to take some portraits of me and my baby girl, Masita, inspired by some shoots I’d seen online of Fixed Gear riders. Here are some pix from the shoot – taken at my folks house, where they let me run riot in their garage with bike parts.

If you’re keen to have yours done, let me know and I’ll arrange it with David.

Bear with me this is my first post so ill see how it goes..

awsome night last night. got to meet some of the dametruth and many other new people like me!

anyway ill let the picture do the talking (pictures are not to good as the weather was a lil ave)

Cheers, Grant

This is a warning for the kind of shit that happens when you take a bike of the road and don’t provide it with the undivided attention that it deserves… the little shit jumps out of the rafters where it is lying in wait (has been stored) and bites you with four of it’s big ass 1/8th Campagnolo teeth! I tell ya, the sound of chainring VS skull is hell scary. It took a good 20 minutes for this to stop bleeding, my Japanese flatmate running around yelling “Ah, fuck, fuck, fuck…”   I reckon this one beats that chainring tattoo of yours Mardti.

DameTruth is in the process of upgrading to DT3.0. We’ll be back to proper operation soon.
