Broke No More

May 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Fixed Gear

After all the trouble I went through to get the Pipebomb set up, I ended up deciding to sell it only about a week or 2 after it was finally done. Even from my point of view, that is incredibly fastidious; however, I have my reasons. I was never completely happy in my mind with [...]

Pipebomb Current

April 16th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Fixed Gear

Here’s my bicycle right now… took quite a bit of work to get to this point. I decided the HED3 I had was too flashy and not needed for something on the street, so I sold it and got a H Plus Son rim built to a Phil Low Flange hub. Since I rode in [...]

Broakland Pipebomb

February 25th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Fixed Gear

I really like the Bianchi Pista Concept, but I got to a point where I realized I wanted to go back to steel. The Concept’s thin aluminum forced me to always keep an eye on it. It was brought to my attention that there was a Broakland Pipebomb up for sale in San Francisco. The [...]

Black Market Sale

February 25th, 2010 · No Comments · Dirt Jumper, Fixed Gear, Miata

I sold the Dirtjumper about a month ago. The main motivation behind me getting rid of it is because I felt too old to be riding a bike like that, and since I wasn’t able to start when young… I didn’t see me getting really good at it any time soon. A bit disenchanting when [...]

BLK MRKT Redux

September 5th, 2009 · No Comments · Dirt Jumper, Fixed Gear, Miata

After upgrading the crankset, I took the opportunity to step it up and redo a lot more… I changed a lot of parts this time around and the bike has a much different feel now. It started with a few more orders from Deity. I got the same front sprocket I had again in anticipation [...]

Deity Vendetta Rev2 Crankset

July 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Dirt Jumper, Fixed Gear, Miata

My DirtJumper came with some fairly beefy looking 3-piece cranks, but they looked generic and had no branding. I took the opportunity a few months ago (somehow didn’t get to this until now…) to change out the bottom bracket and crank arms. Keeping with the Deity theme and quality, I picked up their Vendetta crankset. [...]

2005 Celeste Bianchi Pista Concept

May 29th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Fixed Gear

After a couple months of diligently searching the classifieds for a minty Pista Concept, I found one coincidentally in Colorado (same place where I found my RX-7). I knew I had to have a Pista Concept again, but this time with original paint. I ended up buying a complete bike off of him instead of [...]

BLK MRKT Mob 26″ Dirt Jumper

April 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Dirt Jumper, Fixed Gear, Miata

As a little preface, I ended up selling the Aerospoke front wheel from my fixed gear (even though I only owned it for maybe 3 weeks). It was just too heavy for what it should be, so I let it go in hopes of getting something different down the line… I used this as an [...]

Nice to Meet You, Pista Concept

April 8th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Fixed Gear

The reason I put my Iro for sale was to fund a new bike build. I felt the urge to upgrade so I decided to start from the ground up. The Iro was a nice bike, especially for a first fixed gear, but I needed something with more refinement. I’ve always been eying the Bianchi [...]

More Pics of the Iro

April 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Fixed Gear

Ended up roaming around campus and such one random Saturday and brought my camera with me. Snapped these pics… bike was put on sale shortly after.
