October Is Here -- BMX Action October 1983

The year seems to be flying by, so here is the first post for October.Sometime ago, January 28, 2010 to be exact, I listed this issue's cover as one of my top favorites. And that still hold trues. Amazing shot of Rich Sigur on the cover.

And I had to include this photo of Richie Anderson and Charlie Williams racing the 16-17x cruiser class. The caption of the photo mentioned Return Of The Jedi and the speeder chase on Endor. When Star Wars crosses over to BMX, AWESOME!

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.

Inspiration For My Cruiser

Here are a couple pictures of bikes that were a big inspiration on my cruiser build. You would see these things all over Austin at one time.

SE Racing, "OM Flyer."

Acme + Xtra Acme-Plus
The Dukes of Hazzard - The Complete Third Season

More bike commute.

Friday and Saturday I managed to get in a few more rides on the cruiser. Three total for 41 miles. The morning rides are nice but that afternoon ride was a little on the hot side. Had plenty of water before and during the ride though so I felt pretty good. This week I am going to try and get in three days of commuting. If I hold up.

NAHBS for 2011.

A while back I posted something about the NAHBS  (North American Hand Made Bike Show) that happened in February. Well it turns out that the guys at Least Most have a really cool post showing a bunch of cool photos from the show. Go over there and check it out. I really like this 24" cruiser that Kish Bikes built. That is a Ti frame under that orange paint.

The show will be held next year in Austin. Glad to have spotted this today. February 25-27, 2011. Here is their link. http://transition.handmadebicycleshow.com/home/ Looks like they are updating at the moment. Still some good info for now.
