Nice details. [E] what do you think of it? Feelin' it?
Oh! TRC patches was put on hold but now in progress. 1/off x 3 designs, very limited pieces. Hope to finish by end Nov-early Dec. [E] will catch you on that later. Briefing session :)
Ok this is difficult to link it with bikes but I remembered I posted Dead Souls [first track on Pedal Music player] by Joy Division. Listen to it quick!!! If you are a JD fan like me or even if you're not check the movie. Please. Or maybe try to read a little about Ian Curtis onAmazon Online Reader.
CheckCONTROLhere. It's all shot in monotone. Brilliant stuff.
Now this may turn out to be a forcefully fitted post to a 'bikes-only' blog but then again riding will be boring if it's just a very long straight road!? Yea... yea...
My weekend 'Shadow'. As I don't ride everyday like the most of you do [ you lucky bastards] I found a weird relief to actually have this on my desktop wallpaper. Download if you want. [Screen size: 1280 x 800] GOOD LUCK to BeeV for her papers. Score well [e] will upgrade your B-bike to a Cooper S :)
News from CycleGlory: The frameset is all out from their shelves. Sandy, from CG, has contacted Bianchi for availability. Will get back to me asap once CG receives the Y/N from Bianchi. Swift action from CycleGlory and the courier quote is pretty decent too.
Thanks Sandy.
FINGERS X for me guys. The next email is crucial.
Like the two proud owners of B-Concept Alan [CyclingWMD] and Calvin [HKFixed] said to me "You Won't Regret It"
Got this last night at a local bike shop. Which I was supposed to get a spare inner tube but I was distracted by all those gadgets, gimmicky tools and mostly bike parts. As for this pocket-size pump, quite decent for its size. A couple of pumps and I'm set to go. As claimed on the pump " ROCKET POCKET-Master Blaster" How cheesy but it works.
Weather's not bad so far... but it might change later in the afternoon. Let's see...
This has just killed me. I wish it's mine. But it isn't. Too bad. For me. This is his, from CYCLING: WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION [sorry dude, i didn't catch your name] but you are good! Damn good! From your restored Yamaguchi to this.
Also check his snaps esp. tagged Leica. Inspiring. No doubt.
Updates: If you don't know yet, that Yamaguchi was on ebay, grabbed and now owned by Hiroshi Fujiwara. Now that's sick! Oh I meant the bike.
Finally, Rotten's Pedal Music weekly play list. From cheese to poppers. 'Don't blame us' for not warning you.
Tracks are : Pounding, Tonebank Jungle, McFearless, The White Flash, Waters of Nazareth, The Bouncer , Drums Of Fire, I'm Not Gonna Teach You How To... Rise, Rise[Reprise]
-®-
p/s: feel free to browse tracks. 'We did warn you of cheese and poppers'
It puts a smile everytime I see this... especially the hand 'grr'abing that cab :) It'll be nicer if it's on a tee :)
and KK in Italy "I LOVE ROMA" Nov 17th sponsored by SlamJam. Been expecting SJ to do some fixie stuff... since they are associated with SK8 and street. Partly.
I find this flyer interesting. But if you wanna find out what's more than a nice looking flyer,
Race at KANAZAWA VELODROME, Ishikawa prefecture. Date: November 24 and 25 Entry: Advance ¥ 2500 (insurance included) On the day itself: ¥ 2500 (without insurance)
Sorry for the late late post. As you know may know the daylight is getting shorter over here, hence I have not got the chance to snap some decent pics of this sweet (mammoth) messenger bag!
Anyway here's the pics for you guys to enjoy.
Huge huge bag but loving it. Almost too precious to ride with it.
Shiny - Patent leather.
lots of pockets
Love the yellow, just goes with the whole bumble bee theme :P
Out of curiosity. Old & recent articles about FGs from trends to safety. Here, here, here, andhere.
Rules are tight in some countries. I had a hard and long stare weeks ago from the police again. Brakes will be installed very soon just to avoid my bike sitting pretty in the station's backyard.
I remember the days when I was in primary school and all we were waiting for was that ring of the day... I'd zap through bodies of uniform and avoid almost anyone except the boys which I was supposed to meet under the school staircase where we chained our bikes together. Some brotherhood huh? Anyways, I had this for good solid BMX years. It gave me comfort from Kuwahara to Redline.
Well the point is will it be as comfortable as i think it was for a fixie?
This t/t pad project took awhile partly due to my laziness and workload. Got a piece of leather hide (black + patterned) off Bricklane for a fiver, i must admit the size was rather generous.
Then i have to endure a rather painful process of pierce & sew method for which i have not owned a sewing machine and the proper tools for it. Nonetheless i was quite happy with the end result, slightly raw and minimalist. If you look closely, the (white)thread has to be painted with a black marker (yes i know i should hv gotten a black thread to save the trouble) hence the blue'ish effect :S
You all may well know the fun of skidding and also you all may know well the effects on your rear tire. And certainly, Vittoria Rubino tire is not meant for it, even with minimal skid stoppings you'll end up with a really sore and blistered rear rubber.
Shortly after my last post on this issue (The scars of skidding, 09/09/2007). On a wet'ish morning, 5mins into my usual journey to work, a high pitch pop that was so loud it sent everyone on the street looking over to my direction - tht moment i felt rather embarrass. Anyway when i inspected the inner tube and found out it had 2 massive holes, 1 i suspected it was the contact between the tube and the road. Though i still cant figure out how i obtained the 2nd puncture on the tube. *puzzle*
Here's the pics:
The hole
The size of the hole - a AAA batt can fit through rather easily
