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!

NEW TREND ALERT.

Location: Como, South Yarra

As reported earlier in Winter 11, we've recently spied little novelties popping up all over the city.

NTA!!! CONFIRMED.

Sooo are you one of those peeps striving to keep ahead of the fash-pack? Keen to blow the crew away with your epic accessorised steeze?

Well gosh damn Son, we've got the hot tip right here.

YBIR Suggests - When adding some flair to your ride this summer, don't go light on, as displayed above.

Take it to the next level, annihilate those other wannabe trendsetters with your killer swag.

Go fucking nuts.

Coming to a Charter near you.

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

YBIR got a sweet shout out!

BIKE FEST MELB 2010

Location: MELB YO!

Bike: There will be so much radness, off the chain x infinty. WOW.
More deats here.

Facebook here, Twit ere!

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:

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?

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:

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.
