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
Time to wear in those new tires you got for xmas. See you every Thursday from 7pm.
Radness.
Tonights ride was a little different. Ralph got his new bike a little while ago [Bike check on that soon] and he managed to find a really nice quiet tricking spot, with some really cool features. The Wellington Fixed Trick scene seems to consist of only Ralph at the moment but we try out best…
So just a quick post. Been riding lonewolf steez a bit lately! Let’s get together tonight rain or shine and have a skid and a beer folks! P.s- Buying forks with a too short steerer is the best FAIL in a while! hahaha
p.p.s- this is the moment when things go bad. Nice pick I found over at Prolly.
Yesterday was a pretty good day, despite Wellingtons wind. I rode around to Days Bay/Eastbourne in my lunch break. It’s a nice ride this one, all flat, quite fast and hardly any traffic on the road, Plus there are plenty of side streets that head up the hill for some short entertainment.
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?
What a ride…Past the Airport, around the bays, up Owhiro Valley to Brooklyn then death run down to Southern Cross.
Right boys…
Here’s the good stuff you’ve all been waiting for! Here are some of the pics from over here in Italy.
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!
I saw this over at John Prollys site.
This kinda film making gets me really pumped to go out and push my body to its limits.
