Limited edish....

Another bit of work on the bike. I dropped her off to the bike shop in the Vally. Dude there is gonna help me rebuild her. We'll see what happens... I got the original bars that were used on the bike back in the 80's. Cinelli's LA84s. They are huge. I'm not sure how they are gonna feel but I'm giving a shot. I had to get these shipped from the Netherlands. New old stock. Super limited edish...

My new bike project...

Miss. Lucy the Guerciotti is the newest edition to my bike family. She was acquired from LA's craiglist. Named after a fallen street street cat I was fond of, this Italian time trial road bike is truly a legit gem. The previous owner had her built up as a half ass fixed gear with a 2 foot stem... (hideous).

I'm trying to rebuild her gears, breaks, and all. I only know about fixed gear bikes though so this is turning out to be a pain in the ass... I'm taking her to a sick shop in the valley this weekend to get some advice from the homie over there.

Here's some flicks of the long process...

Blade Runner - Allycat Race LA

This was a dope a race in downtown LA. I came in 5th and my friend from UCLA Steel Horse crew came in 4th. One of the check points was on the roof of a 15 story building... I haven't heard about any upcoming races but I hope to do more soon...

This was my 7th Allycat race. I've done them in SF, Tokyo, and LA. There seem to be a bunch of rides out here but few races. Not feeling that. Do people actually read these blogs?

1st Blog ever

YO. So I did it, I made a blog... Yeah, I wonder if anyone will read this. My life is a bit more exciting than average but far from extraordinary. I would be surprised if anyone would enjoy digitaly stalking me, but we'll see...

Why did I do this?

1. So I dont have to write the same email to all my friends...
2. To have a little diary for myself...

I hope you like it. Peace.
