Monster

Joel came into work yesterday and pointed my eyes at this thing…

It’s a Vassago Fisticuff. I guess the small text under the big text in that picture kinda explains it, but it’s still confusing. It takes 700c wheels, but can run 650b with wider tyres. It takes disc brakes, or rim brakes. Goes geared, SS or fixed. I’m sure it’d work with drops, flats or risers. I really don’t really get it, but I do know that as soon as I saw that picture I decided I want one. It may jsut be the bike-hoarder that lurks just below the surface in me, or maybe it’s all this stickin-it-to-the-man that Matt and Ben have been doing lately. Either way, it gets me a little hot under the collar. It’s been belting down with rain here all afternoon, and that really looks like the kind of bike that should be thrashed in the mud.

So yeah, fairly pointless post, but maybe someone will like it and buy one, then they can bring it to the shop and I can take it for a ride.

Bar Spinner

In the famous words of the lovely Britney Spears “oops, I did it again.” Another bike in the stable without really meaning to. There’s definitely a disadvantage to having a credit card and an internet connection. But at least you end up with a new bike showing up at your door!

I am now the owner of a sweet new Gran Royale fixie. The trick-track stuff has been happening for a while now and the Alien just doesn’t quite cut it for bar spins and backwards circles. It’s about time we got a bit of this shit happening in Hobart, there are too many good carparks going to waste. Looks like it’s going to be a winter of grazed elbows and fixed-bunnyhops down three-sets, whoop whoop! Anyone else keen to join the crew? These suckers are cheap.

Spotted.

World domination? BnC are working on it.. Part-time singlespeeder, Jason Dreggs reppin’ @ the 2009 Simpson Desert Challenge^^^. BnCs Freddy ‘Nana’ Moojen was also in attendance but given Freddy’s huge web prescence on er, not-so-savoury ‘singles’ webpages, I thought it best not to post picture of him thereby compromising his chances with the ladies.

Affray! Fracas!! HULLABALOO!!!

Right. It’s generally well known (according to an Australian Magazine, Anyways…) that Rotorua has the best trails in the world. We also have the best facial hair in the world. That’s right. Breath it in, Liam. Soak it up. I would have posted a shot of of my eyes but they were filled with such righteous masculine intensity that they would have punched through the monitor screen into your brain hole. Yes indeed, Liam..or anyone else. Think you can do better? Await instructions. Ah, I’ve had enough of you panty waister’s, I’m going hunting.

AH, FERK IT.

My computer is steam driven. I lost the photo I had taken. So, bearing in mind the completely played out nature of “pirates” I present to you the below. Liam, I got you a little something. It may help. Now… As I said above

1) Await instructions

2) I’m full of righteous masculinity

3) I’ve had enough of you panty waister’s, I’m going hunting (again).

4) There may be free beer.*

*Really**

**Really Really

They wouldn't unbundle
