Quick Update

Been a while since I have an update on my progress with my fixie & the short clip of skid stopping I've promised on previous post.


Me fixie - Watch this space, Aerospoke incoming :P


A closer look, shorter handle bar - much better now.


Track standing & giving the tongue.


An attempt to go track stand without hands.

And finally the improved skid here.

What's next?
• 700c Aerospoke clincher

Cheers

A CUTTER, TAPE & B17

Here's the sliced B17.





I was thinking of slicing it higher [Swift or Swallow]
but decided to keep the stamped logo on both sides.
Besides the rails are sticking out way too much. But I'm
happy with this slimmer B17 than before.

Delancey is out for a new coating and will be expecting
to collect sometime mid-next week. Once that is done it's all about
going and not stopping anymore. Most parts are in or will be coming in
next week and the only delay would be the Gold spoke nipples from JP.
Hopefully by end week.

FINEST FIND

On the bay here.

What should I do next

Suggestions welcome!

The Great Wallet Drain

When I got my Langster 07 I thought that would be me sorted for a good year or two. Only a few months later I was looking at fixed gear galleries and thinking about my next ride. After talking to [e] and my other fixie friends I knew I had to get my teeth into a lugged frame.

Days later...

I was soon bombarded with links to frames on eBay and yahoo.

weeks later...

I was weak ;0)







Yum yum...Nagasawa !

and so the great wallet drain commences :0/

ARRIVED

Got a call from front desk. It has arrived faster than I'd expected.



Here it is. Yellow 3T Mutant.



Again, thanks Scott from NOS . It's a beauty.
It's getting nearer and nearer... -®-

We need the numbers. MOooOoRrEEeeeeEEee.

KRYPTONITE NY FAHGETTABOUDIT U-LOCK

What more to invest in a good, easy to carry (with 'civilised' weight) lock to secure one of our most beloved investment and craze? Yes, Kryptonite NY Fahgettaboudit U-lock, (almost) a pocket size, 18 mm through-hardened KryptoniumTM Steel shackle resists bolt cutters and leverage attacks, double deadbolt locking mechanism for extensive holding power and all the other goodness that will help defer and/or secure your ride while you're not on it.

Here, get yourself a good lock, this will probably the best investment for your prize.

Incoming: Aerospoke

After been riding for more than 10 weeks; day or night, by lonely alleys or busy roads, rain or shine - I've seasoned myself and got to know my fixie a lil bit better. I know it's about time to update on some of the basic tricks likes skid stoppings and trackstand - I reckon it will be coming soon once Bee is confident to ride around with me so watch this space.

My latest upgrade
May I present this sweet wheel - Aerospoke 700c clincher (bolt-on) from King Kog. According to Gina (owner of King Kog) that I should be expecting it next week of so. Very excited and could bare contain my excitement :D
