It's been a hectic past few weeks..

..and now it's time to clean up:

..fucking nightmare

In any case, the Philly Expo was AWESOME to say the least! Great fucking turnout for a first time event!! The 22nd street Armory was packed to the gills with vendors of every type. A lot I'd never heard of too. There was also kick ass local food vendors outside serving up some delicious eats and a trailer with fucking beer on tap out the side of it along with hard liquor..

The overall feeling of the expo was more of a casual party than the typical drummed up stiff old man circle jerk. Just a chill scene with people of every type enjoying a great day out with good conversation, bicycles, food and drink. So yeah, it was pretty fuken awesome! Suuuuper stoked for next years expo- it's sure to be that much bigger and better!

I had a little space off in the corner and spent time screwing around with one of my latest creations that put a question mark on many a face. Don't worry, I'll have photos of it soon! I just have to install the flux capacitor and she'll be officially ready for time travel..

I didn't really have a lot of time and energy to take as many photos as I would've liked but here's the few that I did:


Some really, really good shit on hand. The Prollz was there as well so you can always scope out his blarg for more snaps..

I also managed to pick up a a few sweet parts at the Jumble just outside:

A NOS Campy C Record headset for $90:


aaaand then a set of Campy Sheriff Star Track wheels for $200:


Yes, of course there's a catch! While the lock ring threads are perfect the cog threads are a little fucked up in one spot. Which essentially doesn't matter in the least! I'll just thread a chunk of coke can in there on that spot and be gtg..

So yeah, good shit. Make sure to get your lazy fucking ass out to the expo next year if you pussed out this year..

In the meantime, I've got to get back to cleaning up. God not having a job kicks so much ass it's not even funny! I find myself wondering whether it's Saturday or Sunday still, hehe..

More soon bitches!

It's been a hectic past few weeks..

Philly Expo Guide Book: FUCKING DONE!! THEN I GOT LAID!!!

As some of you may already know my official profession is in Magazine/Book Production. As opposed to my more well known profession of being a total fucking dumbass! hehe.. idiot

Anyways, Steve (Bilenky) came to me a few weeks ago with this project wanting to have it done in time for the Expo this weekend. They essentially had nothing done other than having some text and photos in for it from the various exhibitors. A good portion of which were not hi-res enough for print..

Basically, I knew that if I didn't take on the project, it wouldn't be completed. So I WORKED MY FUCKING BALLS off hooking the Bilenky boys up with some proper book publishing skillz. Well, proper as in getting the fucking thing done in next to no time. Which just happens to be my specialty..

All I have to say is: Good thing my dealer has been out of town!

After a lot of back and forth and many a sleepless night, I managed to get the fucker under control and out the door. My bro in Law works for Galvanic Printing so I had him print the book. Galvanic has been in business for something like 100 years so the place is fucking AWESOME with tons of old shit everywhere and lots of things that are brown. I'm gonna do a photo project on the place if I can..

I rolled over there earlier today to check on how things were going. They have a lot of weird looking machines there that do awesome stuff really loudly and smell-illy..

Of course they just happened to be working on the page Prollz is on..

Some gets tossed out..

One of the many printers that have on site:

The Roland 100 in akshun:

So yeah, I'm pretty excited about how it turned out! I certainly would've liked to have had more time and been better well organized. Tho considering how much work we got done in the time we had is pretty damn amazing! I can assure you that next years Guide book will be slaytastic to say the least :-)

For those of you attending the expo WHICH YOU WOULD BE STUPID NOT TO I'm pretty sure they'll be included on the higher priced two day/seminar admission. It you're only going for the day I think it's a few bucks extra. Which is totally worth it since it's not just like some sucky brochure. I mean, if I can WAIVE MY USUAL PRODUCTION FEE to help support the expo, you can shell out a few bucks too. If you don't I'll toss your stingy fuckin' ass out tha DOH!

Anyways, not long after I left I spotted this Greg Lemond TVT 92:

I nearly blasted a healthy load all over those grey campy Deltaz- SICK!!

So yeah, I'm just about as deeeessttrrroooyyyeeddd as I've ever been in a long time..

The one consolation I have is that once I have tomorrow and the weekend behind me I'll finally be able to kick back and catch up with everything I've let fall to the waist side the last few weeks..

Oh and the fact that I FINALLY GOT MUUUUUTHER FUCKING LAID OFF FROM MY ASSFUCKTARD SHIT JOB yesterday means I'll have that much more time on my hands-

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Stoked much? I think so!

Now I'll have even more time to do anything and everything that has nothing to do with having a schedule. So yeah, expect lots of blogging in the near future- AHM COMIN' 4 U PROLLS!!!

Oh and I'm pretty good money wise. 5 weeks of severance pay and unemployment to come :-) Not to mention the retardedly vast collection of cycling gear I can auction off if need be. Oh and the two dudes who want to buy some DA10 off me- sorry guys! I'll get back to you soon..

So don't worry Ben'z- I got y'all covered for the WICKED GNAR order that you beautiful mother fuckers hooked me up with:

ZOMFG I was loving every second of opening that package! The bikes that shit went on are fucking.. reddic..

Okay so yeah, time for me to hit the mother fucking hay cause I got another long one tomorrow. Hope to see a lot of you fuckers down in Philly this weekend! Steve (Bilenky) hooked me up with a booth to display my silly freak bikes at. So come find me and watch everyone there who knows what they're actually doing point and laugh at me a bunch, hehe. shit..

Die Antwoord's new video..

Has been crackin' me up!



Even if you totally hate it, you can't say that what they've got going on isn't totally different and refreshing. I don't know about you guys but I haven't heard anything as bonkers as that in quite a while. Not to mention how awesomely obnoxiously hilariously assholey they are..

..and yes, one of these days I'll get around to fixing this fucking blog up so videos don't get cropped and it's not so tired looking. I have a feeling after this month I won't be so busy anymore. We'll see..

Die Antwoord's new video..

How's this for a trick video?!

This guy kinda kicks so much ass it's not even funny:



Seen over at Projekt we're getting rad making our own hubs and slaying it in the woods..

How's this for a trick video?!

Way to get that fit dialed in!

Awesome huh? More about it on Winter Cycles blog..

Way to get that fit dialed in!

Just another ebayliciuous dump for ya today..

Here's what's been catching my eye lately:

Nagasawa Roadie?!:

WANT! As if that wasn't good enough there was ANOTHER ONE that ended last week that was a much better fit for me:

bbBBBBOING-OING-OING-OING!!!

Indy Fabulous Track:

A bevy of 3Rensho roadies?!:

WHAT

THE

FUCK!??

..IS GOING ON?! I MIGHT have seen a few rennie roadies on the bay like EVER and out of the blue here's three at the same bloody time- so weird! That last one would fit me pretty nice too..

BLACK annoed DA cranks?!

Hawtsome!

Serotta Team Huffy roadie?!

Lovely NOS Atala with some nice paint for the ladies:

On the flip side of that is this decidedly HORRIBLE paint job on this classic Cannondale 90's Track frame:

On the flip-flip side of that is this AWESOME paint job once again for the ladies on this Berbet B. Sweetman:

So. fucking. RAD! More images here..

Pretty Pogliaghi from the one and only Fyxomatosis:

Fuuuuuuuucking REDONK GT Style 83' Colnago Equilateral Master Roadie:

DAYUM!!

Anyways, I think that's about all I can muster for now. I know for a fact that there's a bunch more I wanted to post but I gotta get back to the grind unfortunately..

p.s. - check out which song just came up on shuffle:

Just another ebayliciuous dump for ya today..

My 3Rensho Tarck frame up for grabs!

As much as it pains me to do so, I've got to let go of one of my favorite steeds:

56cm CTC TT, 54.5 CTC ST..

$1200 takes it F/F and 7710 DA headset. Shipping NOT included!

It's in AWESOME shape with NO DENTS and only minor scratches here and there. Long wheelbase too which is great for cruising in the streets. I can include some Nitto bars, DA seatpost, Yellow Turbo saddle and yellow tufo tubulars and yellow toshi straps and buttons for a bit extra..

Easily one of the nicest one's I EVER seen and prime example of Yoshi Konno's work:

It's got this super subtle two tone paint job that just SLAYS you in the sunlight. You can kinda see it if you look hard in the photos. SO. FRAKING. AWEZOME!!!

FULL BUILD PICS HERE!

DETAIL SHOTS HERE!

I really fucking hate to part with it but it just doesn't get ridden much and I'm trying to stick with frames that are the best fit for me as possible. This is the last one I have that's a bit off..

That and I picked up another one a little while back that's a much better fit for me :-)

I plan on posting it on the bay next week along with a bunch of other stuff. Would MUCH rather it go to a good home and perhaps even to someone local..

Hit me up here if you have any questions:

My 3Rensho Tarck frame up for grabs!

If you had been hanging out at my shop yesterday..

..you could've witnessed me running around and screaming like a little girl after I accidentally grabbed a super hot section of rear stay:

OUCHIEZ!

That's just the nasty blister on the outside. I managed to burn a good section of my thumbs inner web as well. Fucking. SUCKED. It even made that TSSSSS noise when I first touched it- nnNHYAAAHHAA!! So gnar..

In any case, I feel like no one ever really mentions safety outside of helmets and blinkers. That or it's all about the end product and craftsmanship. The truth is that a good portion of the tools involved in building bicycle frames etc can and will maim you every chance you give them. I'm just lucky cause the burn wasn't that bad. Mostly cause I didn't have to go switch-stance later on that night, hehe. In any case, it was bound to happen..

So no matter what your experience level happens to be- Make it a point to be mindful of your surroundings and careful as fuck with anything that has fire coming out of it or a really sharp high RPM rotary bit attached to the end. Most importantly: USE YOUR SAFETY GEAR! It certainly won't hurt as much as getting your dumbass burnt or cut the fuck up..

Having said all that, try to retain a little more dignity than myself if something does happen and don't let it discourage you from continuing your work!

SE Lager Track Frameset for $80 NEW?!!

Yeah, I know it's a hunk of shit but if you're looking for a winter beater it doesn't get much cheaper. All you need to do is get one before Sunday, along with something else cheap to break the $100 dollar mark and you can apply the $20 bucks off orders over a $100. Geo here..

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO GET A GOOD START ON THAT MINI TALL TARCK PROJECT YOU'VE BEEN WANTING TO GET GOING FOR YOURSELF!!!

or not cause you're a pussy..

No seriously, once you have this all you need is a top section from any old bike with a matching (ish) TT and you're gtg! SO. EASY.. If it makes y'all feel any better I'm putting together a DIY with lots photos etc to help people build their own, on their own. The bike is sure to be a hit as well!

Note to self:

To avoid computer flopping off bed and crashing onto floor resulting in a destroyed magsafe power connector, place it elsewhere before performing the crossface chickenwing suplex on tiny asian girlfriend:

As much of a bummer it was to see my laptop do a little dance on the floor before landing face down, screen hinge fully extended, it certainly wasn't as pathetic a circumstance as the last time I broke it. Luckily the damage was minimal and at this point I'm a whiz at fixing my overly abused machine. I made an order for a new left hand IO board to ifixit.com along with a new 500g 7200rpm hard drive while I was at it. I had storage issues a week something ago and was forced to wipe my old drive when the start up disk was so full it wouldn't start. NO.. It wasn't overflowing with porn.. assholes..

Speaking of which, I guess it's back to VHS for the time being!
