Same combo I've got going on the White Nag. DA10 laced to Ayraya Titaace Ti Rims. So. Totally. BITCHIN'!!!
Specs and info as listed:
Classic 1980 model Tom Kellogg custom built Track Bike
Offered for sale is one of the coolest track bikes ever built. It is
in virtually new condition, with approximately 100 miles of use.
Tom built the bike for Patrick Sercu to ride on a board track velodrome
in Chicago in the summer of 1980. Sercu was recently honored as the
"Winningest 6 Day Racer" of all time in Europe. Jack Simes, the coach
of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Cycling Team, who had raced against Sercu
many times, was also the founder of the Panasonic - Shimano Cycling
Team, which was the first professional racing team in the U.S. Simes
asked Sercu to come to the race in Chicago so that there was some
"star power" to promote the race with. He agreed, but didn't want to travel
from Belgium with a bike, so Jack had Tom build this frame for him for this
one race. I was living in Trexlertown at the time, and racing at the "T-town"
Velodrome, and had the great fortune to buy the bike from Jack when Patrick
returned to Europe. Shortly after I moved out here to San Jose and only ever
rode it twice at the track in Hellyer Park. It really is in virtually brand new
condition. Here are a few of the specs:
Built with Columbus SL double butted chrome moly tubing
Seat tube measures 57.0 cm center to center
Top tube measures 57.5 cm center to center
Shimano Dura Ace 10mm crank arms are 165mm in length
with a 48 tooth chain ring and a 15 tooth cog.
Cinelli model 64 track bars
Cinelli Buffalo Hide saddle
Shimano Dura Ace high flange hubs
Araya Titanium alloy tubular rims

42x12: The Cult of Fixed book..
Larger pic here..
Not as many of my photos as I would've liked but if you spot a copy, be sure to give it a flip through to check it out along with the three other pages with my scribblings on it. The book looks great otherwise! Nice job guys and thanks again for including me in it!! Now send me that copy you promised to hook me up with :-)
If you want a copy for yourself, you can get it here..
Meanwhile.. In Korea..

Bicycle Fetish Day 2010!
Like every year, Bicycle Fetish Day goes off without a hitch and is an awesome day with lots of entertainment, bikes and nerdy friends. This year was the biggest turnout yet! WAY more vendors than ever before and like, 3 times as many people as usual- it was awesome!! I actually had such a great time I didn't even really take that many photos. Here's a few of my favs:
This dude's shaved ice rig was REDONK!
Johnny Coast in the foreground there scopin' it out..
The homies were also scopin' it on it too. I got the feeling like they weren't sure how they felt about it. That or they knew EXACTLY how they felt about it..
Here's a quick video of the Marching band too:
The Mini Tall Tarck won for best tall bike which I was stoked on! More so when I realized there was actually an awesome prize to boot:
Fuuuuck yea, an Outlier shirt and cap- AWESOME! It's funny cause I was thinking of getting one of the hats at the Jumble but they ran out of my size/color. Bitchin'! The shirt may seem pricey but MAN.. Shit iiiiiiiiiz cozy!!
All in all, an awesome day..
More snaps from the day on my flickr set..
Sorry I didn't post these sooner BTW. Got a lot going on these last few days and I'm having a hard time catching up. SO looking forward to this Memorial Day weekend!! Not only is it.. but I'm taking Friday off and heading down to Philly to shoot gunz, eat cheese steak sammichs and stop in to the various rad bike shops to say what's up and possibly pick up a few odds and ends. Then head over to the Jersey shore (no not that Jersey Shore or anywhere near it) to chillax at the beach. Prolly just hang at home Sun and Mon to finish up my new BBQ grill I'm building and serve up some tasty treats come Monday afternoon..

Oldie but a GOLDIE!
I remember being BLOWN AWAY by this bicycle ballet video a long while back when Dennis from Fixed Gear Gallery posted it on the site. I just spotted it again today and figured it was worth reposting whether you've seen it before or not. Enjoy:

How someone could 'use' this as..
..living room art is WAY Beyond me!
Who the fuck wants to stare at THAT on a regular basis?! As if the stretched out cable and bar/stem set up wasn't enough he's got freaking formula hubs on there- awesome!
However the frame is quite nice:
..just needs to be properly dressed.. IN ALL BLACK!!! Tho I suppose if you're a campy wanker that would also do the trick..

Brookyln Bike jumble 3.0!
This past Sunday was the ever enjoyable Brooklyn Bike Jumble! Lots of rad parts, bikes and people were seen, haggled and BS'ed with. In other words it was an awesome day!
Here are a few of my fav pics:
Along with this nice snap Prolly got of my Mini Tall Tarck which for some reason spaced on taking myself:
I know I'm not the only one who's stoked he got a photographic upgrade..
Here are my scores from the day!
Great Cond DA10 rear hub laced to a vintage Araya Red tubular, tied and soldered! - $75!
Great Cond DA10 16T Cog - Included with DA10 Wheel!
NOS Suntour Superbe 26.8 post - $20!
Good Cond Threadless stem adapter - $5!
The fact that all I spent was a measly $100 bucks is a WIN all by itself!
Yet another awesome event host by Harry- Great job man! One of my fav events of the year now :-)
Here's the full slide show from the event:
Next weekend is Bike Fetish day along with my next Summer Slacker Series ride up to the old abandoned Yonkers Power Plant- Stoked!

Seen on street!
I spotted this fatty tire street whip over on 38th the other day:
Along with this awesome Japanese Curry joint called GO!GO!CURRY!:
Finding cheap new lunch NOMZ is always a good thing!

Check out this AWESOME mini ALAN Roadie!
My buddy Alan sent it to me and was saying it would be awesome to name a kid Alan just so he'd have an ALAN to ride when he's just a youngin'..
SO. FUCKING. COOL!!!
Also not cheap so it's not happening unfortunately. Otherwise I'd LOVE to own this sweet mini machine! Shit, I'd ride it around for the hell of it myself :-)
Oh and in other logo news, he also sent me this new idea for a palindrome logo version:
That's just like a super quick rendering he did BTW. Fucking SICK idea tho right?! I tried messing around with it a bit but my brain is seriously melted from all the logo BS I've been thinking WAY too much about lately..
Another reader sent me his bored at work version of my original one:
Thanks a bunch Bernard!
It def looks cool but it's a bit too smooth and slick lookin' for me. If I HAVE to have a logo it needs to have a more janky uneven hand drawn look to it. Just seems like a better fit that way..
In any case, I'm really stoked on everyone's input and ideas so thanks again to everyone who's lent a hand!

You can also catch the Strong Backs Weaker Minds exhibit if you haven't already at the Old Stone House adjacent to the Jumble:
