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:

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...

VANS BMX... OW MY NECK

Bike: 20" Vans BMX

Location: Chapel St Windsor

Owner: Hot Grom named GULLIVER... Cool Name!

Loz and I snapped this little grommie walking up the end of The Chap. My neck is still a bit tender from snapping it so hard.

Kids take note: It's never too early to have a rad bike. You have to be born with steeze though.

They don't sell that shit at Strictly BMX

DC X PK RIPPER LAUNCH

SORRY X 1 MILLION FOR LACK OF POSTS.

I went to the launch of the DC x PK Ripper Bike at 1000£ bend and snapped my neck so hard I haven't been the same since. SRSLY. Better now though. You can all relax.

SIM IS BACK!!!

Here are some bikes from the night:

One of the PK Rippers.

Another... This one I have seen up close at Pista Bikes while the lovely gents in there were fixing my BMX. The attention to detail is so rad. I especially like the pedals. Don't know about the orange though?

There was a checkpoint race before the event. I didn't go. Not because I am lazy, but I didn't have a rideable bike at the time. I was actually riding a mountain bike at the time because my bmx was fucked. I parked the mountain bike like a block away so nobody would see me on it. YUP I'm that vain. AND I really hate Mountain Bikes. That was a really, really low point in my life. Don't worry I'm all good now.

Flouro Love. It was acceptable in the 80s!

Candy coloured love. I wish I could take you all home with me. No one will notice if I just put you in my back pocket...

Chromey goodness.

SUP!

Animal print is so hot this season.

Nice.

Fuck yeah. SNAP!

OW my neck!

Loving the clean lines on this sucker.

I want those wheels! Where can I get them? ANYONE!??

Sweet!

So nice. Love a guy that is manly enough to sport a pink chain.

BOSS! Notice how all the best bikes are sporting the SBC spoke cards?

All the cool kids are doing it.

All in all, a really tops event.
Thanks to the organisers who put the show together, and all the hot boys that came to support and have been the subjects of my recent fantasies.

TECHNICOLOR WHOA

Bike: Holden, you make cars right?

Location: Devonshire Street, Surry Hills, SYD
Owner: Crafty Old Vagabond

Oh Sydney. You're no Melbourne... To compensate, you gave me this bike. A multi wheel of coloured fortune! Ok, it doesn't come close but hey, thanks for trying.

I'm a total sucker for anything that pops colour as much as this. So, I had to bail the old man up for a chat. He engineered this baby all by himself.

Check it closely, FULL ELECS! When the sun goes down, flick the switch and watch him go.

Rave on Pops.

THIS BIKE IS A BEAST

Bike: The Beast
Owner: Damo
Location: St Kilda Massive

NOW. Let me set one thing straight. Usually I do not condone motors on bikes.
Motorbikes are not my style and Vespas make me dry retch.
But this is our friend Damo's sick beast and he built it all himself. Big ups my man!

This bike has a 70cc 2-stroke motor. The frame is a original crusier frame. It is HEAVY as fuck.
Believe me, I have carried it down a flight of stairs. Yes. I know I also am a beast.

It's based on old school Boardtracker bikes that have had a strong following since the 60s' (who knew?)
Check out more bikes like this here
Or dudes that are quite obsessed with them here

Top speed is 55kph, which is more than enough to CAIN yourself. Hell I can injure myself at like 10kph.

One day... I may just be courageous enough to have a spin. Full leather suit neccessary, so it will have to wait at least until winter. Maybe when hell freezes over.

Check out the chromey goodness... and the double chain, whoa well that's off the chain!
(Thanks dad)

Dear Damo, you are one of my favourite dudes. When I see your bike it reminds me of this scene from Pulp Fiction:

PAPERWORK LAUNCH

Bike: Felt Sector 24"

Location: 1000 £ Bend

Owner: Henry

So my camera has officially died. Sorry for the crap photos but I'm working with a iPhone here. Sheesh.

Nice ride. I'd like to see more kids booting around on BMX's like this. Fixies are taking over the world.

Specs herrr: http://www.feltbmx.com/USA/BMX/BMX-RACING-SERIES/SECTOR-24.aspx

Nice one Henry. Ride Rad dude face.

YUKI NO JITENSHA GA DAI SUKI

Bike: Dancelli Road Bike
Location: Essen, Germany.
Owner: Yuki

Yuki kun, kono jitensha wa meccha kakkoiiiiiiii
(Hey Yuki, your bike is really rad)

Dai Suki Desu
(I love it)

This road bike is fresh as. Dancelli ey? Does that mean that you dance on this bike while you ride? I mean, I do that all the time on my bike, but I would assume that this talent would be much harder to master on skinny wheels.
My hat goes off to you good sir.

Thanks to my mate Nick for the pic!

VAMPIRE WEEKEND X MAJOR LAZER

Location: Fitness First, St Kilda VIC
Owner: TBC: Email us if this is YOU!

Because the leather seat and grips scream Upper West Side Soweto but the flouro paintwork just makes you want to Pon De Floor. I love the different styles this cat has used to custom this bike.
Usually the bike rack out the front of the gym is jam packed with GAY Hybrids or DIRTY Mountain Bikes... Ya know fitness freaks you can get excercise and look fly, as this sexy piece of work cleary demonstrates.



Ezra's bike would fully have leather grips, but he wouldn't have a paint job... the bike would just be made of geek spectacles wrapped in vintage cardigans.

SPOKEY DOKEY

Location: Chapel Street, Prahran VIC

Owner: TBC: Email us if this is YOU!

I heart the Spokey Doke style of this ride.

Like most tricks from the past, wish my parents didn't let them go...

But alas..... there is always EBAY.
