Teeny Marinoni for your one and only!

Damn this shit is NICE!

The fact that the seller shot it in the toilet is pretty hilarious! Tho I have to say, while I totally dig tiny bikes like this, I can't image dating a girl small enough to fit it. I mean, I can imagine it being totally fun to toss em' around but I feel like the frailness and complaints would get to me after a while..

In any case, sweet fucken ride man!

Topeak Alien III CB DX Tool: ALL YOU'LL EVER NEED!

..aside from a Peanut Butter wrench, flashlight and pump of course. But yeah, I've had an Alien ever since I first discovered their ultra radness. Put one of these fuckers in your bag and you'll never have to worry about needing anything when and if you break down on the road. Shit, you can almost assemble/disassemble and entire bike with one of these! In any case, I'm super stoked on this new version:

Seen on Urban Velo..

What the- Cinelli PASTA on ebay??!!!

Holy fuck- SO reddic!:

Cinelli Pasta ... yes, PASTA !!! Made in Italy !!! New

For the collector that has (almost) everything, Charity

For auction is a packet of spaghetti:

Durum Wheat Semolina, natural spring water from the Magella National Park which should be in the Abruzzo region if the packet suggests correctly. It's nice and filling.

Made in Italy and imported by Cinelli Australia PTY LTD. It says so on the back of the packaging.

You are bidding on one unopened packet of pasta. Shipping is free and all the proceeds from the auction go to charity. Please don't be a knob .. just having a little fun and I'm offering free postage worldwide and paying all auction fee's. I will donate 100% of the final auction price to charity (details below).

This is not an invite to dinner and I'm not cooking anything for you. Actually a few of you pass that rule ... namely Dave Hickey and teh J's, thinkcooper too ... but you'll prolly want to bring some 'shrooms Coop ;) Also, that decal dude Cyclomondo is on the top of my dinner invite list - especially as Pimpissimo™® (his real name) is the Jay-Z of the bike world: big pimping bicycles 24/8 and he already owns every noteworthy classic racing bicycle ever made. Dale Brown of Classic Rendezvous too 'coz he's a class act but lemme know in advance as I'll prolly need another pack, eh?

Sorry ladies .... as is obvious by the pics below I'm already taken (by a woman !!! nttawwt) and very happy (reads: scared of being buried in a shallow grave near the vege's). On that note Daniel Auteuil ... you're not allowed to bid. I'm tired of watching every French romantic comedy just because my Mrs. has the hots for you and no matter what she says you're not invited for dinner.

Pics are shown merely to represent just one way of serving it. Garlic, olive oil, spring onions, tuscan kale, baby spinach, snow peas, string beans, fennel, baby broccoli, fresh herbs and a simple salad all picked fresh from my little garden. Finished with a squeeze of lemon juice and some Australian olive oil. Why Australian? Because it's good, and because them Italians keep all the really good stuff for themselves and export olive oil brought in from Spain and repackaged as their own. 4 realz!!!

On that note: Radio stations I question their blackness... they call themselves Black but we'll see if they play this !!!! (I always wanted to ambiguously quote Chuck D of Public Enemy, just for kicks)

Anyway, I've made the pasta vegetarian-ism. I've even shown it pictured without parmesan (Grana thank you) so as to not offend the Vegan's and the drink is just Chinotto so you straightedge heads feel a part of this party too. Btw, why is all you vegan, X-er's buying up all the vintage track stuff up anyway? Whatever. Instead of wood fired ciabatta I've served mine with flatbread so our Middle Eastern brothers who make jihad by cycling also don't feel left out. Seeming that I'm so busy pleasing everyone I may as well make it public that I fully support land rights for gay whales. And for our extra-terrestrials out there ... All your base are belong to us. Everybody happy now ???

oops, Sorry to all you Celiac's - it does contain gluten :(

You may not even eat it, who cares ... you might just leave it on the shelf with your NOS ca. 1981 Richard Sachs (how does that happen?!?!?), just what you need for the l'Eroica Classic coming up or you may even leave it for special occasions to have with Masi wine and Cinelli Olive Oil.
http://cinellionly.blogspot.com/2010/07/cino-cinelli-olive-oil.html

The cooking instructions are on the packet ... in seven languages. If you overcook it or don't season it properly or if it doesn't taste good then it's not my problem and you must be pretty lame to stuff up such a simple thing like pasta. You don't have to eat it whilst being surrounded by Cinelli products (Giro d'Italia, old logo Campione del Mondo, Grammo, Pista bars/stem and sloping crown forks) ... I do, but if you haven't noticed I'm an incurable bike geek !!!

I will donate 100% of the final auction price to charity and will verify by email and show the winning bidder following auction end. Donation will be in my name and will go to Médecins Sans Frontières. They are an international, independent, medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion and natural or man-made disasters.

http://www.msf.org/

Postage is free Worldwide. I'm not sure about Customs and food quarantine laws for your country so check on that before bidding. It's just a packet of pasta. The idea of helping to provide medical aid for people all over the world regardless of race, religion, language or geography is so much more important and is the real reason you are bidding ;)

What the- Cinelli PASTA on ebay??!!!

Best Buy - Your new bike shop quick stop?

Yeah, not really. As if it wasn't enough of a shock to find that there's a freaking 24 HOUR Best Buy located in Union Square, what greets me at the top of the escalator? A freaking city bicycle commuter section:

Naturally a bunch of them are electric..

But they do have accessories!


..including a single speed chain!


Ghey..

The worst part is as I was waiting on line (I didn't buy anything even tho I would have SO fancied that fucking 75" LED screen to jerk off and play video games to from 3' away) I caught a glimpse of Drew Barrymore's new movie called Going the Distance Which should be more appropriately titled: 'Who gives a flying fuck cause she's not cute anymore and movies of this nature BLOW at best'. All I could think about is how is that broad still playing 20 something roles and getting away with it? I mean, if you want to call looking like a horse getting away with it anyways. Then before my generally irate nature had a chance to subside, check out what I spotted in the background of this scene with the typically annoying douchebag friend/roomate:


Wow, seriously? Nevermind the rest of the bike stuff but is that a tarck frame and deep dish carbon rim hanging behind it??! At first I thought it was a Level frame but upon closer inspection it appears it could be a Legnano. It's hard to tell even at HD quality tho. If anyone has a better idea let me know. Oh and don't worry if the reason why you can confirm said frame marque is because you somehow got suckered into seeing it with your annoying girlfriend. I won't judge you. pussy.. In any case, I will admit that they certainly did a decent job of replicating the whole unemployed going no where aging hipster DJ with all the dumb collectible figurines thing..


As if it wasn't enough that the whole Premium Rush thing is happening here in NYC, it appears that more of Hollywood is finally catching on to the whole 'fixie' craze. Not much longer til you can buy one from Wall Mart. Oh wait, nevermind, they're WAY ahead of me..

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Totally praying that fixie's die in the public's eye one day soon so I can go back to getting shit for reasonable prices again..

Best Buy - Your new bike shop quick stop?

I recall seeing this teeny Spectrum on ebay not long ago..

..and what should I see as I'm exiting a friends a friends place the other day:

Awesome getting to see it in person but yeah.. SO not the build I was expecting!

Dag yo, dem wheelz is MELTED!!

Shhheeeeeyyyyyttt!

This was sent into me by a reader who's domicile fell victim to the recent Fourmile forest fire outside of Boulder Colorado:

I thought you might be interested in throwing this up on your blog.  It's a photo of
what's left of a Gary Fisher mountain bike after the recent Fourmile fire outside of
boulder colorado regrettably burnt my home.  (Luckily I saved the bikes I cared
about).   The Frame, handlebars, brakes, stem seat post, seat, etc. completely
melted!!

Best,
Patrick 

Now if Farmers insurance would just stop trying to fuck us, I'd get myself some
new bikes.

Super sorry to hear it Patrick but thanks so much for the rad photo! A little bloody bike destruction to brighten everyone's Monday >:-]

If anyone works for Farmer's insurance they should lend this guy a hand!
