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!

YO DAWG YOUR BIKE IS RAD!

Saw this eating my eggs this morning... too good not to share!~


I wish that Ziggy could ride a teeny tiny bike, what kind do you think would be best for a toy poodle?

SUBROSA MALUM

Bike: Subrosa Malum Fixed
Location: Johnson St Fitzay
Owner: Is this YOU? Email us!


Spied this slick piece of work on my way to the office this morning. Very nice. Minimal. HOT.
You can't go by chrome x black for a classic bike that will never go out of style. Hats off!

More info out RAD Subrosa bikes here!

BTW: Happy Friday everyone!

DEADLINE

Remember this?
I admit, I have been somewhat slack on my bike build. 


New year, new job, wreaking Banksy's, social shit blah blah blahhhh.


No more excuses. It's happening, deadline looming.

I can't wait.

CHAMPS ON CHAPS

Bike: Vintage Resprayed Track with very beautiful lugs
Location: Lucky Coq Prahran
Owner: Had a big one by the looks of things!

I live right near Chapel St and I wish that I could tell you that sights like these are a rare occurrence.

Unfortunately drunkies like to use our helmets as rubbish bins on the regular. Best thing about living so close to the Chap? If you are ever bored on the weekend watching the crowd get kicked out of Revs on Saturday when it's time for cleaning is pure entertainment.

YOU CAN'T SHINE A TURD

Bike: Run of the mill Jelly bean piece of Asian trash
Location: Fitness First Vic Gardens 
Owner: Are you a deadshit? 

I know this bike is called Your Bike is Rad so I hesitated posting this bike for a while. Then I just thought OH FUCK IT. My sister got a Jelly Bean Bike and she just got it to ride to and from the gym and school.... so I guess its ok in that sense. BUT if you know anything at all about bikes you would never ride a heavy piece of crap like this. Not only was her order delayed by 4 months, both of the grips had fallen off within the first week and had to be repaired by me because big sis is not that way inclined. 


So does slapping a Supreme sticker on a shit bike make it rad? Let me put it this way... it's like lipstick on a pig.

POODLE POWER

Bike: Candy! Back from the dead!
Riders: Brenton & Ziggy 
Location: Royal Parade   

I don't have a car, never have and am putting off buying one for as long as humanly possible. 
NBD right? I live and work in the city and have fenders for riding in the wet. Even pooch transportation is possible fixed/brakeless.

"INTERNET" FAMOUS

Found here: http://www.melbournestreet.net/index.php?showimage=733


It's me! 


The streets of Melbourne look really grey in this snap, sad to say its totally like that IRL. 


Gloves, thermals & waterproof parkas all part of the daily routine again.
