...Now they're stealing ideas I have that I would never act on only days after conjuring the thought!

The boys over at Black Sheep Cycles are killin' me yet again!
Stronglight Ultim Carbon cranks
I really wanted a set of these for the gooch. Alas, I've never seen them in a track version...
Wow! a NOS Colnago Master Pista?!!
I had one of these frames a while back but never built it up. Suuuuuper sweet in person- esp in NOS condition!!
way the fuck OT: The stoned movie review...
So the great thing about still having my place in the Jerz is that when I'm not spending time with the lady, I can head back here to get some work done. You know, personal stuff. Work on some bike projects, attempt to reorganize my work bench, or just get stoned and sit around watching movies. Yep, you guessed it. As is most nights, tonight's the latter.
My choices for this evening are: In the name of the father, The Departed and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Tough choice?? Not really.. Tokyo Drift wins it hands down!
For those of you 'lucky' enough to have caught the Previous film in this franchise on UPN 9, might be thinking: Oh for fucks sake, what a nightmare! But you know just as well as I do that Tyresse's pearlier than pearly whites are indeed hard to resist. I don't mean in a gay way either. More like in a I'd kill to have perfect teeth like that instead of these buggered up rottah's kinda way. Not to mention that way he pronounces Hungry (huuun-gree). Watching that movie stoned is kinda like watching The Office sober.. You'll know EXACTLY what I'm talking about whenever you hear Devon Aoki utter any one of her many absurd lines. Then again, if I was as desperate to get away from my father's tourist trap restaurant and dumbass trendy club bouncing brother I'd say just about anything (smack dat ass!) on camera too. Actually, that reminds me. I've got a funny story about good ol' Devon. Once upon a time I found myself at the Benihanna over on 56th street about 8 years ago with some chick. While we were waiting to be seated she looked on the wall and saw a framed photo of Devon on some magazine cover. Said chick remarked: "Oh yeah, this model chick's dad owns this place. At the EXACT same moment she was saying that, I looked over to my right and there was Devon walking towards me. I then turned to said chick and remarked: "You mean her right?" gesturing towards Devon as she slinked by us within earshot. Said chick looked back at me first, then in the direction I was pointing, too late to bare witness to quite possibly THE best timing for a comment about a celebrity. Oblivious to this, said chick said "Who?". To which I replied: "Nevermind".... Wait a minute.. Oh right, fuck- wrong movie! Anyways, back to Tokyo Drift...
One of my favorite parts, well, actually.. I'm way too stoned right now so there's just too many to pin point at the moment, but there's this one in particularly cool part where they're being chased when suddenly come upon what appears to be Shabuya crossing. The way they put that slow motion sequence together with the people parting for the cars like the red sea is purrrrre genius! I also like how they drop a Nissan Skyline engine into a late 60's fastback Mustang- Classy!
If you don't spend many a stoned hour imitating the radder than rad tranny shifting sounds with your buddies (WHAAA BA BA BA BWAAH BWAAAH BWAAAHAHHH!!) after watching this movie, you'll at least be thinking about it constantly...
Way back in 88' my older broham came home with a brand new off the lot Buick Grand National. Yep, the one with the Turbo. Ever since then.... stoned or not, I've always wanted a Turbo'd whip. I guess thats why I can sit here blaze brained watching this shit. And why during the off season I start fucking with my car. Esp since I'm stuck driving it more...
Although I have to say, as far as an exceptionally lame movie goes, this is probably the best assembled one I've ever seen. I mean, imagine if Martin Scorsese was the assistant director on Transformers. It's all the talent in the world but you still have some fucktard hack in charge. Who despite all the brilliant suggestions Marty could and would come up with, only lets a couple slip through. But even with those two or three suggestions the movie you'd been patiently waiting to see for close to a year sucks ass just a liiittle bit less. If only...
FUCK YOU MICHEAL BAY!!!

Fixed Gear Gallery: STAFF BLOGS!
Not too long ago I noticed that Fixed Gear Gallery added blog links to their page. I emailed Dennis about how I could go about getting linked. We got to talking and it turned out he was looking for some productive correspondents for FGG. And so it begins! From now on I'll be reviewing new products, photographing events, visiting shops and builders for FGG. BUT.. that don't mean this blog will fall to the way side by any means. I'll still be posting everything to this blog. The only difference is that I'll be that I'll be linking full stories and reviews from this blog to the new FGG one. That and I probs won't be posting as much ebay and videos to the FGG one. Not to mention the occasional rant like the pre-previous post...As you could imagine, I'm pretty stoked! I've coveted Fixed Gear Gallery for many a year now and I look forward to contributing to an awesome site...

This shit will blow you the fuck away.. Just not in a good way...
Let's see.. How can we sum up everything bad about the current state of affairs, give it a hip power to the people style galvanizing sound, then sell it to the Millennials for bank?
Well look no further because here's the answer!:
I mean, come on.. Are you for real? Is this a joke? That shit seriously blew me away.. Go on, listen to the cheese ball lyrics and you'll see what I mean. Better still, listen to them while looking into a mirror. You'll notice that the veins in your forehead will begin to throb followed by your eyes completely glazing over. Honestly, I don't give a rat's fucking ass about how good you can string a verse (or how poorly for that matter), but please, please stop coming up with this CORNY FUCKING TRASH! If you're looking to do something for the betterment of society, put forth a bill to congress outlawing Apple's Garage Band program! Seriously.. We really, really need to take that shit away from the masses. They just can't be trusted with ANYTHING AT ALL. It's bad enough we're stuck with the likes of fucking Fall Out Boy because of it...

Just bringing you some jaw dropping market highs!
Some classic NOS Campy cranks that sold for $395
Set of barely used Aerospokes that sold for: $820
Another set of used Aerospokes that can be yours for mere sum of $795
Mucho retardo no?...
With any luck this trend will die like skateboarding did back in the late 80's so I can go back to getting parts at more reasonable prices...
ooooo did I just say that?!

Bianchi Pista concept sells for $800 bucks!
Well, at least this time it's a new one. As opposed to the used ones selling for only slightly less. Still, $150 over retail is pretty fucking redonkulous!
