fixie be gone

sold my fixie
lost my ladyfriend
she's not under the bed
cant find her anywhere
fuckyas.

half a degree is not a degree

holy shit i can build bikes. pitty that doesnt make me a high roller.



anyway career choices and quarterlife crisis aside i have some excellent news

1. i bought an awesome fish today. its name is flamin mongrel.
2. i'm going to laos in january. fuckity fuck yeah.
3. i might be buying a boat with a couple mates.

i've never been into the nautical aspect of life but hey. summer, beer, boat. endless opportunities. this summers goal is learn to wake board. maybe it can fill the void snowboarding has left in my life. ah well, if my only regret in life is not wiping the snow off my ass before getting this rad photo life can't be too bad right?

lack of bikeland time

so lately i havent really done alot with bikes. i got a flat on my front tyre and havent been bothered to fix the fixie. however, i managed to find a car that can satisfy my inner bogan. a vlct by the name of charlie that runs a rb25det with 5 gears nestled behind it.

a w e s o m e.



anyway today i'm going to fix my flat and go for a ride. its been way too long.

back to two wheels however, i'm selling my peugeot to re-coup a little coin. campag hubs laced to ambrosio rims, 56 top, 57 seat. $275 hit me up.



i've got a few things in the pipeline in regards to bike projects, just need to get my motorvation back.

you're not in a triathlon, you spandex cunt.

today i'd just like to express my general dislike for people who feel the need to wear spandex while cycling.
i'd like to point out three obvious errors in your choice of cloting
1. you're not in a race
2. no one wants to see your junk
3. you're making everyone hate cyclists

go clean yourselves up.

mister sparkelahhh

work cancelled becase of the rain this morning, and i've had this frame lying around that i painted a little while ago. might be a touch hard to see in the photo but its got a nice rainbow flake clearcot over the purple.

so i built it up as a single speed and i'm pretty happy with how it came out. it rides quite nicely as well

its up for sale for $350 ono, send me an email if you're interested.

a touch of fine carpentry

i got a new bike today!

so i made a box for it.

but because the bike is already gargantuan, its nealy impossible to get on it with such a stupidly big box on the back. so i might cut the top half off it and make 2 boxes.

either way i made the box so i could fit a carton of booze in it and im pretty sure it should.

its a pretty sweet rig, its got a 3 speed internal hub and i put a cushy seat on it.

watch the fuck out summertime.

david cheated, long live goliath.

today i stripped and painted the little blue indi 300. its new name is peaches & cream. it'll take a little while for the paint to cure then i'll lay on the 2 pack clearcoat and put it together. think i'll make it a single speed.



but on the subject of old school ladies bikes i thought i'd show you a couple other ones that i've built.


this one is called little miss sunshine. i really liked this one, i had george build me some new wheels for it and it came up really nicely in the end. a girl from mandurah owns it now.




i found this purple frame during verge pickup when i was hungover and coming home from a mates place. it was just a bare frame when i got it, but i was really stoked because it was in really nice condition and the lilac colour had a metallic through it. i had another bike with good parts and an ugly paintjob so i made one good one out of the two. it lives in cottesloe now. when i sold it, it had a white seat on it not the black one in the photo.




this one is another of my favourites. i built it for a girl called alison who always wanted a sparkly black bike. it started life as a purple speedwell invader missing its front wheel, handlebars and brakes. i had a new wheel built and got it powdercoated in black onyx. it had a 3 speed internal hub and looked really nice when the sun hit the paint.






and heres the last one for today, the indi 500 family. absolutely flippin sweet if you ask me.
