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!

SUBROSA MALUM

Bike: Subrosa Malum Fixed
Location: Johnson St Fitzay

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!

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.

YOU KNOW IT

CE SOIR ON DANSE

Bike: THIS DUDE


This album cover is SO FRESH.

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

SLAY THE RAIL

Bike: BMX's - stacks of them!
Location: Revolver Upstairs Chapel St
Owners: Groms 


You may remember this post that we did about the first bmx comp to be held in a nightclub. Well the boys are back for this years installment, and I didn't have to scoot off early to pack for Splendour this year. Bonus! 


Ever since my camera was stolen I made a promise to myself, and to you our 3 loyal readers, that I wouldn't resort to posting dodgy iPhone snaps however these were just too good to pass up. 

So many bikes, not nearly enough poles.

The obligatory safety warning. A flying BMX will hurt if it flies through the air and lands on your face. 

I kinda wish that a flying bike hit these two classy ladies, who were clearly there because they are so passionate about BMX. I like your dress, is that from GASP? 

Couldn't have said it better myself. Want.


Here is a video that was not taken with my phone:

THRASHER BIKE

Bike: Thrasher ILL Bike
Location: Vogue Plaza, South Yaz
Owner: Jake


This is the bike that Thrasher Boy would ride if he didn't drive to General Pants every day.
What struck me is the amazing rims and super fat tires, put that in your pipe and smoke it tram tracks!

Noice.

This is actually the first time that I have been busted snapping a bike by the owner. I was kneeling on the pavement to get the above shot and I just saw two feet in my peripheral. How embarrasment!


Wanted to run away, but...





You can't keep running awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy

SNAP!

Bike: White Fuji Classic Track
Owner: TBC, email us if this is you
Location: Curtain House, Melb


I thought that I was the only one with a Celeste Poke in Melbourne. 
Not so!


This rider clearly has impeccable taste, bravo good sir!

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!

TOMS TREASURES

OOPS

I was flicking through my camera and realised that I totally forgot to post these beauties... I am so lame

These bikes both belong to Tom who lives with OCGC member and all around sick chick Georgie.

We took the bikes for a spin out the front - you can get massive air off the second bike over the speed bumps in their street... RAD

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...

CECIL & FRIENDS

Bike: Hey Cecil Walker Bicycles, 1998 called, they want their website back.
Location: Swanson Street, Melb CBD
Owner: Hi Email pls

Wow, I forgot I ran into Cecil in the city a while back.
Points of radness to note, rear white Aerospoke & select gold detailing, really nice.
Oh Cecil! You are so super fly.

PS Hiiii, who are your friends?
