OUR BOY PATRICK FROM PEDAL CONSUMPTION HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS WITH LEADER FOR A WHILE ON A MYSTERY FRAME... WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR IT, KNOWING HIS STYLE TO BE RIGHT IN STEP WITH OURS... AND IT'S LOOKING LIKE WORKING PROTOTYPES ARE SURFACING... FINALLY! BELOW ARE A COUPLE SHOTS OF THE NEW STREET BEAST... YOU CAN ALMOST TASTE IT.
HERES THE SNIP-VID FOR VELOCITY DONE A FEW MONTHS BACK... WE THREW A BIKE ART SHOW AT VIRTUE TATTOO IN PDX WITH HAND PAINTED FRAMES, FORKS, CANVAS'S AND WHEELS. WENT DOWN WELL... AND I GUESS VELOCITY DUG THIS PROMO, SO WE'RE PUSHING OUT A LONGER EDIT FOR THEM!
AFTER A RETURN ON ONE OF MY HUBS DUE TO A BAD SET OF BEARINGS, MY WHEELSET IS NOW BUILT UP... (BEEN ON THE FRONT FOR A COUPLA WEEKS, PICKING UP THE BACK THIS WEEK).
I HAD 'EM HANDBUILT BY MY BOY BOSTON JEFF (A 25YR MESSENGER VET) WITH SOME SWISSISH SPOKES ON SURLY TRACK HUBS. STONE COLD GREASED LIGHTENING.
IF ALL GOES WELL, WE MAY HAVE SOME MORE SPONSORSHIP FROM VELOCITY IN THE COMING TRACK SEASON... PRAY ON IT!
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS GUYS PROBLEM WAS... THIS SINKS MY HEART TO SEE CRAP LIKE THIS. I'VE BEEN HIT BY CARS BEFORE AND THERE IS NOTHING FUN ABOUT IT. DRIVERS HAVE NO IDEA HOW DANGEROUS THEY CAN BE TO THOSE OF US ON BIKES.
THIS WAS A CRITICAL MASS RIDE IN BRAZIL... THEY DO HAVE GATED MALLS GUARDED WITH MACHINE GUN WIELDING NUTS, SO MAYBE THIS ISN'T AS SHOCKING AS IT COULD BE... NO, SCRATCH THAT. IT IS TOTALLY SHOCKING.
