PRETTY BAD...

Crap shocks, plastic center-pulls, folded metal stem, one pice cranks, un-machined steel rims, its a magna. What more can I say?

Due to a long section of modeling, computer hacking, and other random things, as well as many MANY new bikes, i have not posted. (run on) Enough of that. I have taken 2 beautiful rides to ob on my lovely varsity.










Some sweet old ten speeds, including a very old sears and the incredible "no name" no break bosses blue bike. Probably a murray with missing decals.

One of the coolest bikes I have seen for a while





I found the one coolest vintage cruiser / mountain bike of all time!
and It is ether called the sidewinder of king sting, but probably just a expensive and inexpensive model that schwinn usually made, (varsity and la tour, stingray "stik" shift 5 speed and a much cheaper one speed model.) Anyway i love the anodized parts and it makes me wonder, how did schwinn fail at the mountain bike if they where making something this cool, I mean sure it was heavy with a one pice crank (on cheaper model) and huge chrome spoke protecter and all, but look at those hubs! The rims and breaks and break levers and the best, on the high end model the cranks! It looks simply like a varsity frame shrunken widened with a chrome bmx style fork. And I need to find out where to get those tires. very similar to a spitfire!

Pictures of some of my bikes Mountain bike fixie used for cruising around.
Random little project that will never be finished but is cool LOL,

parts from huffy omni 10
dumster dived nishiki banana seat bike, rusty, heavy, fun.

Rides nice but gearing is too hard. Light works!
Paint is scratched but it doesn't bother me
schwinn varsity with gumwalls, converted 5 speed
sooo sweet!!

my klein with new tires.

UPDATES!!! I have done something new with my bikes! after a long and boring stretch without any thing to do with my bikes I got a present which stirred my want to have greasy hands and t shirts that smell like wd40 and tryflo. My gandma came and with her brought a pair of white on white tires, they are sooo awesome! go well with the paint job of my klein rascal. I also was begging my mom and dad to buy me a pair of gum wall tires that would fit my schwinn varsity. I thought that they would not fit 27*11/4 tires because they are "S-5 schwinn tubular rims" but I installed the 27'' tires and they fit and look like a dream, I cant choose which one I like better, black walls or gum walls.

San Francisco is buzzing with bike activity, From mixtie townies to hard core mountain bikes to fixies. The local bike scene has been taken over by the rental bikes that so many tourists use. You see throngs of people riding them every where, at the beach and on trails even pushing them up the super steep streets of north beach. I am all for people riding there bikes, but when people have no idea what the traffic laws are or stop in the middle of an intersection to look at a map it gets kind of annoying. The bikes are quite nice, mostly treks and schwinns with disk brakes and racks with locks, all you need to travel around the city. A map and bag for putting things in hangs over the handle bars.

I have not been blogging lately because I have been so busy. this morning on our way to school I saw a awesome peugeot road bike lying free at the curbside. It was flipped over on its handle bars and seat, and other than a mangled rear wheel (probably the reason for some one discarding it) was a very very cool bike. It was complete with a cushy saddle, touring handlebars, and down tube 10 speed shifters and would have all the parts for a project. But the sad part is we where already running late and my brother was also going to be late for his school, plus the 7:50 in the morning traffic we could not stop. It is probably now in the hands of a crazed hipster or hispstress (had a step thru frame) and will end up with stupid gearing (52 to 15 or something like that) and purple deep vs and a tiny front brake. Sob!

P.S Would not be complete without a purple top tube pad!
