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.

Lastnight at the sick little skate spot at the top of Tory.

Track stands, tricks, skids… a few grinds and Adams sick new whip!

Fun times all round.

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…

Looked like fun.

As posted earlier here aerospokes are now in NZ through bicycle.co.nz

Support local, buy local!

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!!!

Hey boys and girls, as many of you may know I was recently away working in Italy, land of bikes. While I was there I had the chance to visit Dodici Milano and the legendary Masi bike workshop. For those who missed it you can catch the post here:

on my way home from Italy I made a three week stop off in NYC and let me tell you, I saw more track bikes in the first 24 hours in NY than I have ever seen in my life! Anyway, after scooping my melted brain off the pavement I stopped off at Chari&Co. These dudes are awesome; super friendly, chilled out and just amped on bikes. Enjoy the pics and I’ll catch you all in the saddle.

Time to wear in those new tires you got for xmas. See you every Thursday from 7pm.

Radness.
