New Andel cranks out from Ben's Cycle!
Some of you may have seen my review on the previous version of these cranks. These look to be even radder!
As seen on the Ben's Cycle blug-blug-blug...
Gnnnnnnnarly great deal on a BMC bad boy from Andy of Ben's Cycle!
I would LOVE to get my filthy mitts on this thing, spray paint it matte fucking black and lock it up around town just to mess with people's heads- MWAHAHAHA!!!

MASSIVE Nagasawa frame is back on ebay!
SUPER rare seeing one of these over 57cm in size...
Thanks LBPL S!
So I pretty much had the raddest most AWESOMEST weekend like fucking EVAR!!!
and I came to within a cunts hair of buying this:
If you've seen one in person you'll know what I'm talking about. Also cause I've never seen one for less than $1500. I'm actually really glad the auction isn't up anymore...

Why oh why...
...can I not find a moderately priced Paramount in my freaking size???
If this one was slightly larger it would be worth buying, striping it of it's awful component group and sending off to Waterford for a proper repaint...
I was just doing a search for any other paramounts and came upon this sweet number:
WHOOOOOO Darlin'!

Onward Christian Rollers Event!
I went to scope out the Roller race event last night and it was pretty gnarly! There were a bunch of falls but no one really bought it. One of the rollers bought it though I wasn't there to bear witness. Apparently one of the guys shattered one of the drums! It was super awesome to see Bike Works roller set-up in action..
Since there was like two billion flashes going off I thought it would be more fun and or exciting to shoot some video:
Okay, it's like 10 minutes of strung together footage but there's some good parts..
So here's where I bitch out and just copy and paste what people on NYC fixed are saying.. I need to get ready to go to the job...

Al: god damn that was fun.
Talkin to Christian Vandevelde and racin against Bobby Lea was pretty cool too
Mattio: Al you got to the semis? Nice! Say more...
Driver: I think the best part may have been when buddy SHATTERED the blue roller while warming up.
...either that or the roadie in sunglasses going back for more, again, and again, and again...
Al: Alan, CyclingWMD, has some video which will give people a better idea of the races, but a good number of competitors showed up, mostly beefy track racers. The rollers took a bit to get used to. They are substantially narrower and a bit more jittery than my rollers at home. In the warm up time prior to the races, one of the racers was spinning up and one of his rear rollers catastrophically failed, with the tube completely ripping off from the axle and him shooting back into the bikeworks sign.
Watching that gave me second thoughts about competing.
The races were set up with a 500 m time trial for seeding then a three up 1,000 m roller race to decide who moved forward. There were some heavy hitters competing, including current Olympian Bobby Lea and Andrew LaCorte.In the Semifinals, I ended up riding against the Bobby Lea and some other guy. I came in second in that. It was fun simply competing against an olympian, even if it was just a roller race.
The finals came down to Bobby Lea, LeCorte and some fast dude sponsored by Van Dessel. It was a tight race between LaCorte and Bobby Lea, but halfway through LaCorte lost control, crashed and somehow ripped three spokes out of his front wheel. Almost each race had someone crashing/falling off the rollers. One dude smoked his tire as he fell off.
Edit: Driver was my spotter throughout the night. Thanks Driver!
CyclingWMD: Yes! Alex killed it riding against those fuckin' track monsters!! Here's some video I shot. It's like 10 min of strung together footage but you get the idea:

The best was when he got all wicked squirly (as seen in vid) and SUPER rubbed up against the wood and smoked his rear tire- you could TASTE the burnt rubber in the air it was so thick!
Great job Alex! Remind me to hang with you and Cooper (who also did a great job!) so I can get my racing chops up to par...

OT: Hallo Berlin German food cart in Midtown!
So I've been going to this place for years but since I started working over on 38th I can't go as often. Which probably isn't all bad since this shit is wicked nasty for you. BUT JUST LOOK AT IT- SO FREAKING GOOD!!! It's like eating an orgasm or some shit!
Bumped into Alex on the way back to the office. Felt like a bit of a douche since I was delivering lunch to myself and co-workers meanwhile he was delivering real packages..
Anyways, for those of you in the city or planning on visiting, go to the corner of 54th and 5th ave. Look for the long line coming from the Yellow Lufthansa Umbrellas and prepare to wait a while. I usually go around 1:30-2ish to avoid the lunch crowd. BUT.. I was just looking and I knew they had a place over on 10th ave but now there's another place over on 50th st too!
Shit. will. DEEEEESTROY you!!!
and yes.. I've reached a new personal low. Blogging about my fucking lunch...
Welding GOOOOOOD!!
Just to give you mofo's a little hint at what the hell is going on here I'll tell you the tentative project name:
MUTANDEM!!!

Don't ever, ever, ever, ever...
...ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER.. let me catch any of you mother fuckers spend anywhere near this much time and effort building something as completely useless as this shit:
I don't caaaaarrrre how curious and or nerdy you are- DON'T DO IT!!! I mean, look at this thing!:
I'm going to take a wild guess and assume you still have no idea what it does...
Without going into too much detail, basically.. um.. right, you pull a lever when you stop the bike and at the same time it compresses the springs, then you pull another lever and the stored energy gets released from the springs, which pulls the chainring connected to the freewheel and it pushes you forward a little bit. Only it's not really that powerful so you just tip over instead...
I mean, nice effort..? and sorry to be an asshole but I gotta ask: WHY?????
I mean, nice effort..? and sorry to be an asshole but I gotta ask: WHY?????
The snob is SO going to shit himself when he gets a load of this contraption...
It's not always about beauty...
...sometimes it's just about listening to loud music and whacking away at some steel
Sorry the vid is way long! I've never used Youtube's Quick capture before and was hoping I could edit it or somethin...
A NOS Benotto 1500 frame for $300???
I wouldn't have given it a second thought if it was my size...
Okay.. So it's a mid range frame from when they relocated to Mexico but it's still pretty fuckin' rad!

Okay so this is like THE MOST FUCKING AMAZING THING EVER!!!
This is one of those stupid photoshop jobs that needs to be made a reality!
..and wouldn't ya know it, I happen to have a bunch of busted carbon frames lying around! Anyone have any good DIY Carbon Fiber links for me???
Via snobby
Via snobby
I need to find something like this...
...that has something OTHER than rotted out Schwinn Cruisers in it:
Though I'd be lying if I said this other item he's selling doesn't give me a big rubbery one. I'd drop a twin turbo in that bitch shit SO FAST!!!
Ghost motorcycle???
Yeah, I don't know what the fuck is going on with this shit but it's pretty annoying. Saw it last night when I was on my way home at some stupid fashiony store on 40th right off 6th. Fucking lame... What I wouldn't do to get my filthy mitts on that thing!

Selling a few tasty tid bits on the bay- NOW!
Unfortunately, the Joker's gotst ta gizzo:
as does these mint-ish HED Jet 50 wheels:
Gnarly Orbea full carbon forks:
A near complete set of sssSWEET Campy Delta brake Calipers:
and MOST painfully: my BELOVED Leica LHSA Black Paint Camera and Lenses 1 & 2
and the rest of it along with the auction links are here on my flickr set...
The only reason I'm selling the Leica gear is because I need to use the proceeds to fund my new purchase of a Canon 5D Mark II set-up which I've already reserved. I know, kinda a lame switch in some regards BUT.. check out this video that was shot with one. Yo it's maaaaad cawnee suhyn but still, video quality looks sssSIIIIICK for a full chip 21.1 Megapixel still camera! That and I honestly can't be bothered with spending wicked amounts of time and $$$ running around buying film, processing and contacting everything. Major fuckin' hassle dude!
Oh and BTW, check out what I found lying in the street on the way to work today- an old Panasonic Roadie:
Dude.. it's like 65+ cm or some shit- MASSIVE! I brought it over to my office and locked it up out front til I get the chance to bring it home. It would DEF make an EXCELLENT bottom to a freak tall bike or somethin'!
One Patriotic Puma!
Christ man, where the hell do you find this shit???
Oh and BTW, if I had more money and less restraint I'd be ALL THE FUCK over that Naggie!
