Theft Ethics.
Posted by: kris on Sunday, March 7th, 2010 10:27 pmThis gave me a good few smiles. Well edited explanation of when it is and isnt okay to steal a bike. Im not quite sure what makes the bike that is “nobodys”…well…nobodys. Aside from the shit rear wheel it didnt look all to abandoned to me. Spotted this at the Prolls place.
Bonezone.
Posted by: kris on Sunday, March 7th, 2010 10:10 pmSome good looks of Antonyo getting down in Milwaukee.
Dailymobile 3/7.
Posted by: kris on Sunday, March 7th, 2010 10:04 pmFound this beast out in my alley…pretty neato. I’m thinking rack, fixed 26s and some whitewalls haha.
Leisurely Sunday.
Posted by: kris on Sunday, March 7th, 2010 2:30 pmSundays are kind of mellow for me…with a lot of time spent away from the computer. Considering im still coughing up Flubber this has been even more true. In the spirit of laziness ill post up something every sunday that gets that across…kind of like this mellow riding video.
Rotterdam.
Posted by: kris on Sunday, March 7th, 2010 2:19 pmThis place looks insane! Some darn good bike maneuvers as well.

Dolphin and Destroyer.
Posted by: kris on Monday, March 15th, 2010 7:39 pmSaw these over at Prolls earlier today…and was a bit intrigued (posting from a phone can get a bit annoying at times so some things must wait. ha.) The destroyer is looking pretty solid with the only thing worrying me being the drilled dropouts. A lot of people are running pegs these days on freestyle frames and it may pose a problem. Curved top tube on the Dolphin reminds me a bit of a cruiser but i could see it allowing you to slam your seat a bit lower if youre into that. Both of these are nice looking pieces overall…more on these at their home LSD Bikes.
Dailymobile 3/14.
Posted by: kris on Sunday, March 14th, 2010 10:26 pmThrew some wheels on the alley bike today to grab some lunch…I didn’t think about getting flats with a peg on and not having a long socket. Improvised. This thing is fun! Should probably run a coaster on it rather than fixed…oh well.
Moshers Bike Check.
Posted by: kris on Thursday, March 11th, 2010 9:01 pmThis just reminded me of how bad i want to be out on my bike. Gaps are looking good…Mosher entertaining as usual.
Ten with Super Ted 2.
Posted by: kris on Thursday, March 11th, 2010 9:06 amThe second half of Mr. Watsons sit down with Super Ted…its about 10 minutes long…so together something around 16 haha. Worth it though!
Ten with Super Ted.
Posted by: kris on Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 11:30 pmI was really into this when i watched it earlier. Ted talking with Prolls about bike building. Ted giving a little about what he does, 14 bike co, how he designed the ESBs and some other bit. This kind of stuff is way neato.
Mounted: Eighthinch Protos.
Posted by: kris on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 7:22 pmHeres a few shots of the Eighthinch bars and sprocket i got recently…set up to rideee. Bars are 25.4 clamp with a 2″ rise and the cranks are 48 spline 19mm. Everything is feeling super solid right now!

Master-Piece Bags Spring/Summer.
Posted by: kris on Thursday, March 18th, 2010 1:49 pmLast month while enjoying me some Disneyland, i stopped by LA Brakelss to check it out. While out cruising the beach for a few we were approached by some gentlemen from Japan who wanted to take some shots of their bags. Weird day. Ha.
Sure enough, the photos were used in the Spring/Summer 2010 lookbook for Master-Piece bags. They have a real extensive line of stuff from bags to backpacks, keychains and fanny packs. Its all solid looking stuff made from some good materials (they have a listing at the end of the lookbook). I wouldnt mind getting my hands on a few things in there…

Congo for VAGX.
Posted by: kris on Monday, March 15th, 2010 8:03 pmIts actually a bit weird doing tricks with bags on…feels like shits going to go flying! That makes this little sequence of Congo by Matt Lingo that much cooler. Matt always coming through with stellar shots.
Dolphin and Destroyer.

25c Randos at iMiNUSD.
Posted by: kris on Thursday, March 11th, 2010 10:43 pmiMiNUSD got in some of the new 25c randos everyone is talking about. Vittoria makes some of the most solid tires out there and this offering is sure to make a lot commuters, hill smashers and long riders happy.
Theyve even got some time in on them already and are felling them. Apparently these are a bit easier to get on than past Randos (ive spent too much time messing with these in the past) and are obviously quicker on the move. I guess the Gan Well is nice too.

Fixed 4.
Posted by: kris on Thursday, March 18th, 2010 1:07 pmSo sick! Check that head clearance at 0:41. So many good spots in this! Toms a solid rider for sure.
Don Giovani.
Posted by: kris on Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 10:35 pmIm thinking this will be a hoot. Modeled loosely after Mozart’s story of Don Giovani…but im assuming more farcey and spoofy. Check Dada Robotnik for more info than whats below.
Rock’n'Rollin at INSEP.
Posted by: kris on Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 5:48 pmThe Rock’n'Rollin guys lookin snazzy on their Vigorellis at Insep.
the camera is on. still.
Posted by: kris on Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 2:56 amA bunch of “extra” stuff fro my camera…even though this kind of waggery seems to be the majority of what we end up shooting. Fun times on bikes. The last part with brad gets me every time i watch it. Ha.
Ballskin.
Posted by: kris on Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 2:40 amFor obvious reasons i was a bit reluctant to post this…but alas i feel like im a pretty good sport. Ha. “Horton Hears a Who” is a solid movie! There are a couple things i would have left out but Adam just isnt than nice. Yeah. Ha.
The Creatives.
Posted by: kris on Tuesday, March 16th, 2010 11:57 pmThis looks to be interesting…something to keep a head up for. Even though some of the points being made about San Francisco may sound cliche, theyre for the most part true. I cant wait to see where this goes. Check back in a few days for the full episode and keep up as the new ones come out! If you want to find out a bit more about Ube in the mean time..check out his spot.
