light it up and ride real quick downhill. Evel Knievel dude!
Nah really check them out...the bars.

Main E-Switch Board hehe...

THOSE GUYS IN UNIFORM...

They are inconsistent, unreasonable, all gloated for their own benefits.
Why must they tax a single laced rim and two tyres for personal usage?
I'm not making a business out of it. It's just a laced rim with two tyres...
just that... so be more considerate as we pay our taxes too.
geez get it right fellas


Sorry but I need to rant.

A SPRINKLE OF VANILLA, PATIENCE & YOU'RE A BADASS!!!

I can't remember if I posted this but I think I did
last year. But who gives a flying kite care
'cos they are sick, hawt, ill, wicked, teh bike etc etc.

Portland based Vanilla Bicycles is anything but.
Old-school Vanillas are designed and operated
by one-man owner
Sacha White, who specializes
in personalized, custom made bikes
and Scott Ramsey,
assistant and customer service.


Sacha - This passion is what drives me still.
Whether I am meeting with a customer and
discussing the design of their new frame,
sculpting a brass joint, or polishing stainless lugs
on a frame for 10 hours straight.
- oh yes we can tell from your hair - :)

You’ll have to have a lot of patience -
Vanilla Bicycles take up to 4 - 5 years to make.
And the price? Well all I can say is
'The best thing in life ain't for free'


I am in love again... jump to the site and check those ill details.

VINTAGE


It's a Vitus 979 Duralinox [era 80's]

I have mixed feelings about this frame
but nonetheless it's interesting.
Anyone knows does Vitus still exist?
I tried Vitus.fr but all I got was a black page...

...while searching for Italian/French builts I stumble upon
this person, Frank Spivey, Drilliums [60's-70's]
Quite honestly I've yet to find out who's Frank Spivey
besides drilling stuffs. My knowledge for classics/vintage
began only recently. Thanks to Alan's passion.
So forgive me for the lack of info that I think I ought to be
giving and if you have any please do so :)
... anyways, according to the written claim that that crank
started out as a Campagnolo's Track Record. Good at it I must say.


Look at the
sweet drilled hubs.
[
A set of hubs Frank machined from aluminum billet in the late 1960s.
Campagnolo axles and bearing races were incorporated]

More to come... fr/it stuffs.

THE MARINES CORP - INFANTRY


We've seen camo on bikes before but I personally find
this one understated and muted. And I like it very much
Remind me so much of that classic tv series 'Combat' and
M.A.S.H. [not that mashsf] Only one thing which bothers me,
the shiny bit. If it was matte green with some simple off white
army graphics or maybe just a white star BAM! you're dead! gorgeous!
What do you guys think? Yes? No? Like? Hate? Watever...?

FAT BALD MEN



I have been following the news of this
particular frame for awhile now.
Not that I that I like it nor do I dislike it. It's ok.
Since they weld frames for BMX originally
this frame could be possibly it for those hardcore tricksters.
Just check those short and small head tube for a 51cm.
You know where I'm getting at...


The Sword, FBM.

The night with the sound of footsteps...

All started good with a quick call from Brian (HKfixies) who suggested to have a ride from Canary Wharf to Greenwich O2. First ever meeting with Brian, a Mondo frame with a pair of very attractive Hed wheels. Before we got any further, we popped by this Chinese noodle restaurant just round the corner of the station @ Cutty Sark for a bite.

Easy ride down to O2 with barely any traffic in sight.
When we hit the O2, thought the fun might be just about to start... a loud hiss that could be heard miles away and before I realised, the distressed look on Brian's face said it all. A blardy puncture on his rear bling tubular hed >.<"

An early night for me and a long walk for Brian with only the sound of his own footsteps...


p.s. Pic taken right after his puncture where the fun has left the cold night.
