A vintage Colnago and a new rider, Ben.
I hope to have the time to assist as much
and take this as my pet project.
Hopefully it'll turn out to be a real classic steed
and hope to post some progress.
It's lugged by the way.

BIKE FLIRT
OCF
Got some updates from 'U', OCF.
These guys have been receiving constant orders worldwide lately.
SO meaning that orders to finish will be a long-ass wait?
Infact it will only take two weeks, yes, two, from the moment
you place your order to a spanking Japanese frameset. Surprised huh!?
Well then again I assume it's the estimated time depending
on the lists of orders. But it's still a good short wait though.
Here are some pricing [Prices are more or less] So start your savings.
PACIFIC EXCLUSIVE FRAMESET : US$1476/JP¥14800
KEIRIN FIGHTER FRAMESET : US$977/JP¥98000
PACIFIC CRUISE FRAMESET : US$977/JP¥98000
Shipping to US would be US$99 and to Kuala Lumpur...
damn he didn't mention but it'll definitely be cheaper and faster too.
I am feeling that Pacific Exclusive man... it's the geo. that caught my attention.
Bla bla bla...
Anyways thanks 'U' for keeping me updated.

TOTALLY OFF THE TRACK
Nothing about bikes [as you can see already] and don't hate
me for posting this if you're a green cyclist :)
Anyways, since the weather was as bad as my ex-gf's cooking
I decided to pay a visit to an old friend just to check things
out with four wheels. Yea there were a lot of premium class
machines but nothing compares to what I saw. Just out of this world!
I have seen and read on mags and sites but nothing beats
seeing the real thing. This machine is just awesome.
With 470hp in it's original state says it all.
[If i'm not wrong a Porsche is somewhere 420-430hp?]
Imagine if it's all pumped to it's maximum ability.
Damn bhouy! The G-force will deflate your you-know-what.
Oh yea if you have the chance try revving it up.
Man it's sex all the way!
Ok the pix suxx as taken from a mobile phone but it's
still a mean machine. Interior is hot as hell too.
Btw, it's a Nissan GTR.
Correction:
It's actually 480-horsepower twin-turbo 3.8L V6 :O
See the first crash. Ouch!

Anyways, the blog name "Cycling of Mass Destruction"
is there for a damn good reason. More stuff here.

SUPERCORSA SUPERCORSA PISTA
[e] wants a lugged frame. He wants this.
NO! He is dying for this. Infact he is thinking
of getting rid of his current frame.
He is looking forward to get this.
He likes italian. Just like I do too. We all do.
But he likes it more than I do, he said.
I said Ok you do... as much as I do too.
And I'm telling you this so someone can make
him an offer for his Condor. See pic on right,
Bumble Bee. Which is a pretty good bike, he said.
Yes, I said. Better than this Supercorsa Pista ;D
Anyways, couple of weeks ago I was in a bike shop
for some spare tubes and I saw this Supercorsa.
You got to see the real thing. It's Supersexy roadie.

CAMPY COME, CAMPY GO...
CAUGHT IN BETWEEN!
The weather is so unpredictable nowadays.
Don't be deceived by it. Just yesterday I was out for my usual weekend ride.
The weather was bright and was a bit hot too but that's fine by me
and after approx. 20 mins. it turned grey. Without giving much a damn about it
[the weather] and without warning, [eg: drizzle and etc besides the grey clouds
which is pretty usual the next step will be light drizzle before the heavy stuff
comes dropping] SPLASH!!! I do mean SPLASH!!! I was caught in the middle
of nowhere and with no shelter to be found. I was well wet to my ass and heck
I thought to myself since I am all drenched why stop? Yea right call dude!
Fuh'ing smart call turned out to be a dumb-ass decision.
It was one difficult ride I must say... I could hardly see a damn thing in front
with drops against my face and all i can hear was millions of raindrops,
tremendously loud thunder claps and saw few ass whipping lightnings instead
Not until riding for sometime I stopped and rested under a flyover.
At least I thought I was safe from acid-peels on my face.
[quite freaky too and thank god no lighting caught my ass]
While waiting and not doing anything besides on my bike waiting to sprint
when that time comes, another blow to my face. Or nuts so to speak.
I was caught in this really strong wind and man... I have never,
for the longest time felt so cold 'til my nuts about to drop off.
I waited for an hour half 'til it was reasonable and visible enough for me
to pedal back home for a nice warm shower and a cup of coffee. Ahh...
My conclusion before my next ride is, whatever the weather condition
at that very moment before I pedal off I've to pack my stuffs as if it was
a ride for survival.
Funnily I did somewhat enjoyed it. Haha... Also a good reason to get THIS!

ROLLING...
I'm all stoked for my Enemy but the excitement didn't
come smoothly without me going through a dilemma.
I was thinking of a sexy italian [all parts if possible]
with mostly chrome/silver pieces and some red.
The other a spanking all red bike, which will be,
of course mostly japanese anodized parts.
After some consideration [not the first time tho]
to have japanese on italian ain't that sweet after all.
No disregard to japanese parts, bikes and the builders.
They're good.
But know what? I'll do her like this. Won't go wrong...
Some stuffs that I can pretty much get now...
and I saw these sweet pink too... for something else...
I will be needing some painkillers due to the exchange rate.

Coming up: Latest update from }i{ on his Bob Jackson soon.

Got a box full of parts [have been arriving steadily over the last month from England, Scotland, Japan, USA and France] mostly campag with a pinch of nitto, cinelli, deep v's and one of those dope kmc color chains. Hopefully be back soon with full spec and pics of road-ready glory! Peace out. }i{

WHOA!!!
Bubble gum Aeros by No Brakes. Too bad I don't have
a bike that's suitable for aeros. But I prefer a HED anytime
over these. Speaking about HED, ID got his killed recently
He's ok and yes! It's obvious he got over it pretty quick.
Check this wicked Mark Nobilette set up of his... whoa!!!
[e]! How's yours progressing? Go get a can and do some good to it.
Get it all yellow like this. Also will we be seeing that Bob Jackson soon
and what about that Nagasawa? And hopefully very soon we will
too be seeing a chrome fork ? Did I say a chrome fork? Now that is
something I'd like to know too. Very soon...

INFLUENCE FROM HIS UNCLE
My 7 year old nephew sent me this.[i'm feeling soft already :) ]
He is in awe everytime he sees a BMX. [after he saw an old
picture of me on one] He'll be in his world for at least 5 minutes or so.
I'm sure he can go longer if his older brother doesn't disrupt
his train of thoughts. I just can't help but to think of getting
him one in the near future. [good uncle huh??] hehe...
After taking a closer look at the pic...it's more a 10 speed BMX.
-®-
LOOK. CAN SOMEONE HELP?
Anyone have any information about this frame?
Production year, model etc? I posted this frame earlier.
Saw this on a JP site for a whooping ¥115,000.
