PURE BEAST

How can I not post this? Besides this handsomely crafted metal piece is
ridiculously fast [watch it] but it is the paint-free exterior on this BV 'Pur Sang'
that caught my attention. And ofcourse, again, it is ridiculously fast.
[it's the same vid on tube but watch it again]

The Pur Sang's [literally "pure blood" or thoroughbred"] elegant,
polished-aluminium-and-carbon-fiber-body is offered up au naturel.
Aah see... cars ain't that bad after all and this post is definitely
linked to bikes as a comparison of its natural outlook. See? See!? HA!

ONE DAY WE WILL MEET...

Beside the Polish women's volleyball team got curves.
This one's too. Seen here in action.
Pardon me NOT them riders. The frame! The frame! Focus...



And did the defense dept. got into designing this bike?
Stealth-like-bitch-razor-frame. Bet it can slice the rider in half.

We like!

-Rich & Eric-

Oh btw, if only road frames are, as almost, simple as the one below.
Then life will be so much simpler without the gazillion loud decals.
Minimal branding is okay [see above pics] not massive tho.
We are not blind but maybe with it, we will be.
And oh does those trillion massive decals serves a purpose besides
the obvious logo slapping/ part of a bad excuse a client would force fit into
the design brief just to think it is right etc etc? Well I don't know but if there are any
purposes, [eg: high visibility without looking like a bitch logo/brand slapping thingy
or it's some wonderful design language created by hell knows who]
than I think I will have to force myself to accept it but still think it can be better.
Definitely. Anyways, just asking... don't get offended my fellow riders.
It's the companies I blame not the consumers.

WHILE I WAS BLOODY BORED II...

Yes... while I was... I jumped... to Alex's blog
...to see what's new... anyways... beside seeing that
beautiful Raleigh set-up... BAM!



This I WANT!! I bet it'll cost more than what I have in mind.
Also hopefully we can have choices or... customize them the way we want it
just like the vector ones on P.M. instead of what is shown here and besides
I am no fan of carbon rims so yea choices would be great.
Now we can have our bikes on our desk top.
Okay I'm getting too damn excited about this toy without knowing jack.

M'F' bloody me f***kin' balls. This is good shit. Thanks A.
Ganrin I will be so happy if you can fill me up with infos?

This year's must have wheels?

H PLUS SON. 

Didn't realise they exist until Jon pointed out to me. One of the deepest non-carbon rim in the market - 42mm deep!!

Unfortunately, Brick Lane Bikes is the only place stocks them. For those who don't mind their arrogance, you can get them here for non machine also known as True V Formation Face £47 and machined surface for £44.

comes in 700c + 650c.

Sprint Quarter Final: Mohd Azizulhasni Awang (MY) VS. Chris Hoy (GB)

One of the most entertaining sprint race of the day.

Awang and Chris challenged each other to a stand still on the second round quarter final sprint on the track today. Fortunately with the new rule, they can only do it for 30sec. Nonetheless Chris is far sueprior + experience compared to the young Awang and fully dominated this race. 

Look at the size difference! 

Another glimpse of the stand still.

Check out the highlight here. 

OLYMPIC EXCITEMENT

Just watched team gb win gold in the team pursuit and smash the world record (again) in the process. Amazing stuff, it's been a really exciting few days of track cycling.

1/35 SCALE TDF SET?

Click the pics for a closer look.


Alright I added the Tamiya logo. It got me wondering
for a moment at a glance and I really thought that they were toys.
I was so excited for a second and was ready to pounce a set on the bay
or something. But after some infos, they're actually real.
The moments were captured with a technique using a tilt and shift lens by Joel Saget.
I'm not sure how it works and if it's a new trick but in terms of its output,
it's definitely fresh for this sport. Or even any shots.

Tumbled pics above while getting infos for TDF.
More photographers posted here sometime back.

Who's good at photography? Explanation please? Alan?

Alex posted his hard work for us on the upcoming Olympics track events.
Appreciate it guys [it comes with timing too] Thanks Mr Draude.
We are all waiting for this event but at this meantime
did you guys check the women's beach volleyball? Ha.
Right back to the subject. I'll be hoping for Josiah. Good luck.
By the way, I wonder if he's got any stuff to let go after this? Hehe...
