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!

DOUBLE HAPPINESS

Location: Chaps via my heart.

Hey Boy, Soooo you skate AND ride.............

Get outta my dreams and into my bed.

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

TWINS the Movie.

Location: Liverpool Street, Sydney CDB/CBF

Bike: Cinello Vigorelli WITH BEEF!

Owner: Arnie

You may remember something similar from a previous post. I was in Sydney for work last week and I spotted this rare gem. I say rare as I'm still to see radness rep'd in Sydney like Melb.

This bad boy defiantly pops more than its brother.

You could say its the Arnie to his DeVito.

Stay off the motor way crazy TWINS.

GEELONG V COLLINGWOOD

We went to the football last Saturday night to see the Cats v the Pies.

Our team lost, but the game was entertaining none the less.

Lowlight = Only mid strength beer in plastic cups. It was like Splendour all over again.

Midlight = Laughing at the Collingwood Boags. SRSLY. Where do these people come from?!!

Highlight = Spotting This Bike

Bike: Some Kind of Machine from THE FUTURE

Owner: Probably a Cats Supporter (TBC, email us if this is you)

Location: MCG

This bike looks like is straight out of that show "Beyond 2000"

Mental Note: Lookup "Beyond 2000" on YouTube later

CHECK OUT THE BUILT IN LIGHT. LIKE WHOA!

The Brooks seat always talks to me.

This one's saying: "I may be a psycho bike from the future, but I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany"

Hey lady! It might be a night game but that doesn't mean you have to come in your jim jams.
She has the matching Collingwood jammies and slippers. WOW.
If I was that kid I would be like "Muuuuummmmm noooooooooooooo!" and then get lost accidentally on purpose.

AS you can tell, I have dedicated this post to all you Collingwood bogans out there.
I am so generous with my time, I have even made you a Venn Diagram.

Enjoy:

RADDEST BMX EVER?

Bike: Tri-colour Chrome BMX Hotness
Location: Chapel St Windsor
Owner: Pete

Pete and I live in the same neighborhood. I have seen him a few times on this sweet ride.
Last time I saw him he was crossing Dandenong road and we each checked each others bikes and gave a head nod as if to give an unstated sign of mutual respect. I love a guy that has a mutual love of the Tuff.

So when I saw him parked at Mothers Milk one night, I did a quick Uturn and was lucky enough to meet Pete and take these snaps.

Wow this bike blew my mind.

Nice one Pete!

OMG BMX

WTF is this? I need a napkin for my chair!

NICE TOUCH ON THE GRIPS

Bike: Sweeet
Location: Swan Street, RICHmond
Owner: Luther Weedross

Helllllll Yeahhhh, Nice Touch on the Grips!

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:
