BMX DREAMING

Bike: The Hubless BMX Concept Bike by Nikolay Boltachev

Location: MY DREAMS

Owner: Me! (I wish)

I had a dream about this bike last night. I haven't thought about this rad ride since I first posted it in 2010 but I think that there were a few factors that ended up in this bike resurfacing from my subconscious. 

1. My friend Nick came over last night to tell me about another bike that his friend has for sale:

A OG PK Ripper! Fuck Yeah! How much? Out of my price range, unforch. 

Also, this MTB with a wooden frame:

Hmmmm... as long as you like it! TTYTT I don't think I would ever juice over a MTB, except if I was riding downhill again. Then lay that double suspension. on me bruvva! In the city though, fuck off, I don't know you. 

2. I'M FULLY SICK.... not like guido fully sick re! - Although I am holed up in bed watching season 2 of Jersey Shore. It's shit funny. Instead of getting jacked up on coke and steroids, I'm getting loose on Codrals and Mercyndol. Oooh baby watch out 

POINT: Drugs make you cray. Have you ever left a nicotine patch on when you went to sleep? MANG!

3. Seeing THIS  listing on eBay, with gems like this:

Oooh la la
THIS:

THIS:

THIS:

SHEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT

This dude face was selling 57 bikes from a private collection, for the pittance of a $50k starting price! Chump Change really pffffffffffttttttttt


These 3 things combined led me to that loopy dream last night. I wish it would come true because then I would be doing sick ass jumps on Hell Track on a hubless BMX rather than chomping cold meds and watching trash in bed. Such is life amigos, happy hump day!

SIM'S EDDIE MERCKX

Bike: 1992 Eddy Merckx Pista Corsa Extra
Owner: Me!
Location: eBay Belgium 

I picked up this gem last night on eBay, and although I am sleep deprived today I can't stop smiling like a fat kid who just found the Tim Tam tin hidden in the pantry.

Pearl and Chrome... could you ask for a better combo?

I'm in love. May need that napkin for my chair again.

The bike's original owner was Fabien de Waele who rode for the Lotto team in the early 90s. He has ridden The Tour three times! Fabien must have mad respect for bikes as this frame has barely a scratch. 

I can't wait to start building this up!

Here's a flashback for the 80's babies out there... look at the red and blue graphics on the seat tube:

They fully remind me of the Curiosity Show. FUCK I used to love that show (NEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD)

Shout outs to the ATO for making my dreams a reality

I LIKE THIS.

Thanks Brenton

COLOUR BLOCKER

Bike: Colour Blocker
Location: IKEA Carpark Richmond
Owner: TBC, email us if this is you


Colour Blocking is soooooo Feb 2011, all the cool kids are getting on board.


Who didn't learn this in primary school art class?

ON TREND: How cool is this starfuckers saddle?

Does anyone know where you can still get these?


I snapped this bike when I popped in to Goldcross to pump up my tire which had annoyingly become flat on the yarra trail. 
I actually took the pic with Loz in mind as she is currently throwing around some ideas for her new build that is going to be influenced by a popular toy released in the 1970s. I can't give to much away at this point in time, but mark my words- her new bike is going to be beautiful. 


I love the simple primary colour palette of this ride, the simplicity works so well on many levels.


I am also a massive fan of this colour blocking trend:

GETTING ON BOARD.
How rad:

I think I need more colour in my life... Melbourne fashion is so black and grey, it gets a bit gloomy like our weather!

THE GREEN MACHINE

Bike: The Green Machine

Location: Melbourne

Owner: Brenton Clarke

Big thanks to Brenton for sending through pics of his gorgeous steed. I popped in to his shop with my poodle Ziggy in tow for a visit. The colourway reminds me of the incredible hulk and this bike that I learnt how to ride fixed on. 

This is what a colab of Brenton's bike x Ziggy would look like:

Ha ha as if you would ever do that to your pooch! Poor dawg :(

Brenton has now retired this bike and is using the wheels on his new ride, which I LOVE, so much it's crim.

The Green Machine is just taking 5, hanging out in the garage where all good bikes go to die... RIP little friend:

GOODBYE SUMMER

Location: Yellow Bird, Chaps, Windsor

Bike: Rain Slicker

It was a super-WET-post-storm Saturday morning in Melbourne. The gym was closed due to flooding, even Revs felt the brunt.

Flash floods are the new black. WTF @ Melbourne Summer 2010/11.

Oh well, at least some good things come from shit weather. This dudes bike - Good balance with the rims. That front chrome looks mighty nice.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was some Philly Love waiting for me at work today. YEW so excited!


Assembly Party Monday. 


Watch out Melbourne, start stretching your necks because they will be a snappin!

JUICY FRUITS

Bike: Juicy Fruits
Location: The Evelyn, Brunswick St
Owner: Alastair


Loz and I were doing our best to ride off the HUGE breakfast that we ate on Sunday. All was well and good until we became thirsty so we stopped for jugs at the Evelyn.


We had only been there a short while when we were graced with this beauty. Wowza the colour of those Aero's really popps off so nicely against the chrome Bianchi frame. Get me a napkin for my seat.

I heart the Joocy, this is one of my favourite videos OF ALL TIME:




Whut Whueert hollaaa!!!

Yo your mates bikes were pretty rad too...

MINT SLICE

Bike: Mint Slice

Location: Bruns on a Suns

Owner: TBC; email fool if this is you

Spring has sprung in Melbourne and I spotted this lovely last sunny Sunday on Brunswick St.

It is pretty fresh, minty fresh. The chrome and clover green colourway reminds me of Mint Slice biscuits. They form part of Nick's regular diet and there's always a pack in the fridge.

The oxford style grips and saddle add a nice contrast to the green. It's like brown and green was a match made in heaven:

OMFG YUM to the billion squared, how good do they look?

Even Schapelle's on the MS train:
