bikes bikes bikes and MORE bikes


after a month of greasing up my fingers, ripping off my nails on spokes and rusty chains, getting scolded by the rep from various local bike shops about how dangerous my bike was, shelling out for an over inflated fix-er-upper project, my fixie project is finally 'road-worthy' (pictured next to a neighborhood rebuild project).

background story - found next to a heap of trash in our neighborhood. i assumed that it was meant for the landfill as well.

motive - i had the bright idea to build my own fixie after some friends from san fran built one for me.

lesson learned - i had no idea what i was doing, but some how the pieces found there way on the frame.
