TRC FRIENDS - PEDAL CONSUMPTION

Apologies to all that have contacted TRC recently
and did not get any replies until today.
As I mentioned to Patrick I sorta lost my memory
(for having too many passwords)

Also quick update on my side.
I have not been riding for a long time.
I am taking my time to get IT fix but also now
is not the best time to do so due to this global financial
crisis and other personal stuffs which I'm still on.
So yeah everything's on hold. My bad? Yea. Maybe. Whatever.



On a brighter note we've got Pedal Consumption for reality check.
Thanks Patrick.

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?

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...

For more Olympics cycling updates.
Do check Shanaze Reade. She kicks ass on a BMX. Aiit!

JUST BIKES...NICE BIKES...ANY BIKES

I have been checking out a lot...

Tandem! I have no idea why and how I got an interest with it
but it just grew, eventually. But somehow... [pause]...
I think I can do some finger-pointing on this very bad influence
towards this evil-rock-and-roll-bike-loving-blog-head-nerd that
I've never met in person but in contact through this virtual world.
In fact this whole vintage bike thing is from him and his evil doing...
Hahaha... but I must thank him for all his bad-ass influence on me
or somehow may be on all of us. Some nice bikes from Alan's blog.


Sweet classic Paramount


Thanet Silverlight

Roadies...
[e] and myself have been debating about road bikes lately.
Well not really a debate but purely our own opinions.
As we all know road bikes, yea... road bikes, they come in massive loads of stuff
and that gear count itself will drive you up the wall. Not to mention expensive too.
If that gear needs fixing... imagine how messy it can be?
Cables, gears, more gears and levers on the bike itself?
I do agree with that having a whole world of chaotic chain reaction in a bike
is not the smartest design. But it can be minimized/simplified without a doubt.
Though it will still be rear heavy and non-aggressive comparing to a fixie.
Of cos you can't compare to a fixed gear/single-speed.
I once bought a used and run down Raleigh for MYR50.
50 bucks in the 80's is a lot for a poor student like me but very reasonable for a
'whatever i can't recall the gear count'-speed road bike. Was it 8?
Went through everything from scrapping off the ugly red paint, undercoat,
new colour coat with at least 4 metallic cans and a can of clear coat,
free new raleigh decals from where my grandpa works [he was an accountant
for a very old bike shop] and some parts replacement all done in the backyard.
Rode it for a good solid year with a lot of miles too and sold it off for MYR450.
I love that bike but I let it go for some stupid reason...
Anyways some nice roadies below. There are more but I'm not getting paid to put all up...
and just might offend some non-road bikes fans out there ;)
Go google.

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.
