another one bites the dust. i was going to take parts from this sucker and use them on hugo but plans change so it is time it went. i re-taped the bars, stuck two new tires and cleaned the shitter out of it. now hes on ebay and within 15mins of him going up someone had put the first bid in so he is going to leave the nest. i hope i can at least recover costs. i am doubtful but. he will have to go for around $245…
bit of an ask realy but hey…
who knows?
UPDATE
well the peugeot is on fire. for the first time every i have had multiple bids on the first day of a listing. i am really hopeful i will make back my money. with 6 days to go it is a magical $174.50 with 19 watches. this will be interesting
Macaframa SF Track Bike Promo from MACAFRAMA on Vimeo. tomorrow evening we are having a bowling night at randwick bowling alley. i will bring tarini to the city. its just easier to get from place to place on a bike. especially when you have to make it back to central, then from springwood station to home.
vimeo is the shit. the video quality is just hands down so much better than youtube
i rarely see a “true” fixie in sidny. they just aren’t around or they all hide from me. i do see quiet a few single-speeds motoring around. today was a day of a true fixed gear. parked out the front of burning broadway. equipped with the essential spoke cards and all. i have to get me some of them.
today i also woke up and remembered… i don’t have a working bike at the moment. sadly
seen in sydney update. on friday on my way back to the silver ghost the intrepid traveller had been stood up by someone. it brought a smile to my face after what was a short working week but the first for the year.
LBS - i have now completely moved across to blackmans penrith as my LBS. lifecycles for some reason just never really felt that friendly even though it was where i purchased scottie from. todays bring homes were: 1 x 15T 1/8 track cog 1 x VIP bottle cage clips - these are for hugo to run the 25 watt total halogens 1 x 16T 3/32 track cog - again for hugo. 3 x single chain ring bolts - FREE
i did/was planning on taking the boys down to SOP today but again the weather has the better of me once again. because of the weather hugo is now my main focus. i need to get him up and running so he can take over the bad weather day commuting to and from the station. he is 80% complete but is in need of 2 more single chain ring bolts and a new chain. i am thinking i will put the brakes only on hugo and running the tarini without. he now has the wheel set from tarini in place and i was trying to get hold of a lockring remover that would fit the cassette but as it turns out i can’t get hold of one so i am going to have to take the wheel to Blackmans to have them remove it.
going to blackmans is sad. i just wish we were a little more financially stable. i would love to upgrade scottie to a new MTB and pass him on to karen. not going to happen anytime soon
