On-One il Pompino

Still a very desirable frame.

Lady Cop gives good legs

Seen at Redfern Station.

So it's hard to find someone with that kind of intensity

All right! The 5th Deus Bicycle Swap Meet is on! Just booked my stall, will be moving on a stash of old Campy bits 'n' bobs, couple of old frames. Give Piero a call to book a stall or drop in for some haggling! Going to be another great day, the Deus Swap Meets always are, can't wait! See you there... Saturday July 24th!

I thought I told you to leave me while I walked down to the beach

Scooter's On-One il Pompino just got a murdered-out makeover, courtesy of the majestic Pony Bikes garage. Nice one peeps!

My car is parked outside, I'm afraid it doesn't work

Finally got around to building up my mate Match's 24" Redline cruiser for Suze yesterday, and Guy, Suze and I took the three bikes for a roll around the Cronulla heads. The cruiser just looked so phat with new Odyssey tyres, purple Animal grips (purple chain coming next, must be perfectly colour co-ordinated!), red Twisted pedals and OG Shimano DX lever and caliper! Rad. Such a sweet setup, now very inspired to score another 24" for myself... Here's the three single speeds together, what a trio!

I saw the photograph, he blew his mind out in a car

This is the 2010 Affinity Cyclone, apparently. Looks the utter bollocks, you should check out the rest of Prolly's review for the rest of the shots. But I'm posting these shots up as reference for the finish on that frame. Raw steel has always been a favourite finish of mine, it just looks so industrial, and provides a neutral backdrop which really sets off the other components of the bike. The Cyclone's got me thinking about a resto job on the Lady Cop, now...

When I'm back on top, back on top in June

Miss ya, darl.

Well if Friday's are for funerals, and Saturday's for brides

Think I've found my next pair of rims. SUNringle MTX33. Phat ass. Only 140 grams heavier than Deep Vs. Read the full review over on Prolly, looking forward to hearing how they hold up!

Happy Friday!!!

Happy Friday!!!

Le rouge, le bleu

Aw, cute! Found some old pics in the archives of The Contessa, resplendent with her Croce D'Aune Deltas and levers, and Lady Cop – fresh as!

There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out

My little mate Alpha struttin' in front of our wheels. Don't know why he bothers with the helmet, that 'fro will bounce off any surface from any height! He's getting his skids down with that coaster brake of his. RAD!

License, registration, I ain't got none

Thanks to Joe and the lads at City Bike Depot and a last minute wheelbuild on a Friday night, I finally got the Lady Cop back on the road. Been riding the moto everywhere for the past few weeks but it, like me, hates being stuck in traffic. So good to be moving again. Built it up this morning and took her for a shakedown ride over to Newtown this arvo. Unreal. Like I got my mojo back. Riding a bike just feels like you're part of the rhythm of the streets, of the environment.

That there's the pothole that damn near killed me. Keep an eye out for it, if yer riding east along Cleveland past South Dowling. Keep an eye out for my axle, too. Snapped clean off and no sign of it no whar!

Or maybe you think my moustache is too much?

On a pimpin' white bike trip today. More On-One il Pompino whiteness, via Stalkers photostream.

Freak to the funk that no-one else is bringing

Two very fine el blanco il Pompinos spotted on the On-One photostream. Inspiration for the rebirth of the Lady Cop.

Now just need to get the skatie on there somehow...

Spotted over on ADVrider. Not mine but I've been wondering how to get the Lady Cop on there! Now just a rack for the plank on one side and the surfboard on the other and I'm done.

All you moto readers, I've been channelling all motorbike related posts to my other blog, Diary of a Grey Ghost. Update your bookmarks! And thanks for reading! 002.

Terrible Twos!!!

Just uploaded all my pics from Saturday night's Terrible Twos ride to the flickr pool. Hosted by le magnifique Le Pista Resistance, it was a huge night, if you can make it along to the next ride you'll find out why: hanging out with the Sydney cycling crew, riding and having fun!

First the sheep, then the shepherd
