The Rig Is Back Together--Solid

Manage to finally get the rig back together and feeling like a bike that I feel comfortable on. Needs one or two little tweaks, but as it is it feels great.

And here is a photo of me squeaking on the coping in our backyard. Thanks to Jonas for taking such rad photos. You rule!

And big thanks to Empire, Profile, Demolition and Solid BMX!

Deluxe Front End Update

I have been sweating the front end on my trail bike for some time now. Having all that extra steerer tube sticking out was getting a little old to look at, not to mention the chances of having it rip me wide open. Well I finally picked up a guide to cut it down and decrease my stack height. I actually like my front ends a little lower, and the addition of the 2.125 Comp III on the front makes this bike ride like a dream. Even more now that the stem height is were I like it.

And after.

And here it is with it's seatpost flying in the wind.

Demolition Update

Looks like the boys at Demolition have new colors in for the Bulimia/ Zero and Rogue/Zero wheel sets. Looking good. Also take a look at the new Chris Doyle print ad. So awesome. Head over to http://demolitionparts.com/ to see more.

Primo Casket

Somewhere over in the Twitter Universe The Big Boss Man posted a picture of a Primo Casket stem his sales team gave him. Yeah they were so heavy and could make a great paper weight, but they did a pretty good job as a handlebar holder. I had one on my cruiser for a couple of years and it worked well, but as Boss man said, it was very heavy. Now it sits somewhere on my workbench holding down papers.

The New Ride

Thanks to Mark Noble at Deluxe BMX and Eric Block at Forty Distribution I was able to get my hands on one of these kick ass Deluxe frames and set it up as my new trail bike. And with some major help from Brian at Demolition and Tom at Empire I was able to piece this thing together as almost completely new. I did keep the very old Ukai single wall front rim laced to the Suzue low flange front hub as a throwback, seeing as I have had that wheel forever. Just a few more little tweaks and it is done. Yes, I am planning on cutting done that steerer tube. Now come on Texas, get your shit together and give us some good weather. 

Blogs of Interest.

Coming in this week as one of my most viewed sites is the Demolition Site. These fools are getting close to finishing their next video and it is going to be sick. Constant updates on their site about what is going on with filming makes it a must visit. http://demolitionparts.com/

The http://curbdestroyer.blogspot.com/ Blog is something I stumbled onto over on the Vintage BMX site. It is Steve Shope's Blog and it has a lot of cool BMX history and items about frame building. Go and check it out.

http://blackmountaincycles.blogspot.com/ is another great site with a bunch of bike history and cool daily happenings from a Bike Shop in California. Dig that old Steve Potts CCR they rebuilt.

Ramp add on.

We have a ways to go to getting this ramp fully finished. But just to add a little to it today I took the old slant wall frame from the old set up, ramp was a free-be from San Marcos. Thanks James. But it was in need of a ton of work. As was this slant wall. I re-framed it and squared it up best I could. Even re-used most of the old wood and screws. Just needs a new coat of paint, but that is for another day. This thing is so much fun to ride.

Thanks to Monique for taking the photos for me.
