This one’s from the archives. I love the pose, the foot position, everything. Also, while I don’t use a lot of pink personally, pink against dark colors or backgrounds is awesome…

bigbars Bike Build Process Log: Ye Blacke Death   Laid back

Last time I mentioned a few logistical details prevented YBD from working as a Z transportation vehicle: brakes, gearing and ride position (you know, little details)…

I’ve been hard at work solving the brake issue, with experiments in alternate brake levers and re-stringing the brakes 33 times.

I changed the gearing. Posts to follow on those efforts.

Today my handlebar alternate arrived. While by no means as FUN as sweet, sweet moustache bars, I think this will let me sit up and out of the way of Z’s seat. Experiment tonight forthcoming!

Look at that pic. wrongbike shown for scale.

spidov1 Redfish Speedo Concept

This, from Cyclomania currently on a road trip with his lady love, is a pretty trick concept. I, for one, enjoy the simplicity.

1283036866 craig passero lotek edit

there’s only one or two big baller moves in here, but the TECH in THIS edit is insane. he’s stringing 3- and 4-trick lines together in like zero space.

my favorites are the triple stepDown nose manual at 0:30 (brakeless, note), and the 3-stair gap barspin to bench to 360 noseBonk at 1:35. INSANE.

1282950984 MASHSF "photo spot" sticker pack is genius

at many amusement parks or tourist attractions, you may find (or have found in the past) a KODAK PICTURE SPOT — kodak put a bunch of these up years ago (like the 70s, i think) so amateur photogs could bring home winning shots of what they went to see. well, being the fucking marketing and design geniuses that they are, OG SF fixed crew MASHSF have come up with their own version — the MASHSF PHOTO SPOT STICKER. the idea is that if you’re on a ride and find a spot that you think other cyclists may want to take a picture at, you bomb it with one (or more) of these.

i’m CONSISTENTLY impressed with MASHSF’s ways and means, boy.
