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

Bike check as follows:

Custom 57cm Dodici frame, Ferrari red with gold metal flake.

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..

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.

Don’t know a bottom bracket from a chainstay, a down-tube from a seat-stay… study up kids, this little diagram has it all!

So the other day I saw a fox cycling through my neighborhood on a fixie. I bit like the FoxyBingo Mascot it was absolutely hilarious! Whoever was in that suit must of been late for work or perhaps it was a disgruntled mascot escaping from his job. Anyway, how he or she could maneuver, yet alone see the road in that costume is beyond me!

FYI – In case you haven’t heard FoxyBingo is one of the biggest names in online bingo games. Perhaps if you are from the UK you would know what I’m talking about.

Here’s what the fox more of less looked like (but imagine a Fox):

Side note: I heard you can win a nice lump of cash from this site -
“GREAT OFFER! Get a 100% match bonus with your first deposit! Play Bingo Games and win Guaranteed £20000 in Weekly Bingo Jackpots! “ . Unlike most sites offering the same dream, FoxyBingo actually is legit. Katie Price for ‘Celebrity mum of the year’, a FoxyBingo sponsored award, I think they were awarding MILF of the year lol.

As you all know Cash is king in the bike building game! Imagine what I could buy with a spare £20000 – A Mint vintage Colnago…I’d rock double HED wheels for the hell of it, or a couple of MASH frames just to hang on the wall haha…

All stripped, ready to sand down and prep for paint.
