say whaaaat?

Oh man Have I got some news for y'all. So first off, I am still not sponsored by outlier, velocity, or all city. Damn. Butttt, life has been good to me lately. I went to the forest hill veodrome. Which is in London, strangely enough. And I didnt eat shit! stranger still. Then there was Hell track, care of Tom mosher, awesome party. And then there was the screening of the Revival! Yet another awesome party. (opinion not influenced by my winning raffle ticket for a Norco Spade frameset)

old shit's good too

Picked up this nifty little metal cabinet today for my bike stuff/tools.
Looks jazzy and it fits about 90% of my crap too! Really cleans up my area a bit.


Oh yeah, whats wrong with this picture? Thats right kids, Brakes! Im rollin at 88.7 gear inches right now so dont hate. Also, hoods are fuckin COMFORTABLE.

New stuff.

And if you follow ted's blog, new stuff is good stuff. A few weeks ago I picked up this beauty in a one in a million craigslist return call. I got it because I was willing to get on the subway at 10:30 and ride all the way north to finch station. Guy was a super nice old roadie, not a crackhead. Awesome. Oh yeah did I mention it cost $300? rad.

I also started working on a pet project of mine making old school toe straps. Im not sure if the latigo im using is strong/unstretchable enough and might have to find a better leather. Anyone know what kind of leather toe straps are made of? lookin pretty though.

Long sory short with the last post, a lady ran a stop sign at an intersection and we.... intersected. I flew over the hood, destroyed my front wheel, and landed on my ass. barely worse off than I started. In fact, a new, Identical $50 front wheel and these bruises are all I have to say for the incident. Well, except WEAR YOUR FUCKING HELMET.
