Revision as of 00:45, 14 December 2010
Since I could remember I was stuck on a bike seat. Ever since my brother taught me to ride at 3 I have been doing insane things on bikes. I am a little more chill these days but I do my best to get out there.
I started with BMX, got heavy into Mountain Bikes then moved to Road bikes (Yes, I wear spandex) and I do my best to get on my track bikes as ofter as I can. The Fixed units bring me right back to the BMX days. Out with your friends, doing stupid shit, you know one of you is gonna bag, get hurt, hit someone, you know, the good old shit.
Circle A
This bike came to me. I never had a vision or a thought. A friend called me one day and said he had something for me. Out of his car came a handbuilt frame and fork from CircleAcycles of providence RI. After refusing about ten times and over a month, I folded and accepted this amazing machine. Months before at Legend Cycles, I had seen a set of Velocity Rims, tied to White industries hubs, which happened to be blue. It all came together in my mind. Campy cranks and a few other bits made this bike really turn out. Again, I got lucky.
This rear hub is called the Eno, which allows a none horizontal dropout bike to go fixed because it has a unique eccentric that allows for chain tensioning.
Currently, this bike is in pieces since crashing hard on it but it does now have white tires and a ti seatpost while having a very retro Cenilli Stem. Images to come.
The Guch
The gucch is in interesting story. I had always wanted to build an 80s aluminum lug bike. Specifically a Specialized carbon Allez.. While I could not find on of these, I did stumble upon an all original Guerciotti. The bike was complete with stock Shimano 105, which I pulled off the second I got it. I initially built this thing as my rain commuter bike but it turned out to be really comfy so I rode it a lot more then I had planned. Again, RIght now it is in pieces.
08 S-Works Langsta
The 08 langster was my first real track bike. All my others were hacked up. As I loved them dear this bike really runs home my love for the Aluminum jackhammer S-works bikes that I have spent so many hours on. This bike is basically an 06 S-works Allez road bike with horizontal dropouts and a custom full carbon fork. Running an openpro rear tied to a surley double track hub with an Aerospoker in the front. Newton stem, Dura ace cranks.
I really love the bike but I could never gobble the paint. It is a hideous design and a total shame to have been put on this frame.
