Do 2 Triple Triangles Equal a Hexagon?



Do your eyes deceive you? NOPE! Yes, one GT Kinesis and one GT Pulse. Both were manufactured here in the USA. I hope to have these guys built after project "X". I'm still unsure of which route I'd like to go with these? I will most likely do another redrum theme but with some custom redrum cranks, stem, and bars. This spring is off to a great start! See you guys out there!

and yes..in the background that is another tannondale crack which has been added to my collection. (thanks love)

Indio 2011


So I've recently just returned from Indio, California for the Coachella Music Festival with my girlfriend. For those of you that did not have a chance to make it out this year, there's always next year! This years bands were simply amazing! Arcade Fire was the most impressive band there followed by the Tallest Man on Earth, Jimmy Eat World, Good Old War, The Morning Benders, Freelance Whales & Foster The People. An amazing 95 degrees average for all 3 days with a awesome sunset to conclude the festival. The only downside to the festival was the outrageously priced and not soo very tasty vegan food to select from. The festival did have a amazing strawberry lemonade which we had unfortunately purchased about 4-5 of these at $7 each! These guys do make a killing being a food vendor and charging outrageous prices but hey, people have to eat right? We didn't get to watch the whole set to many bands besides the main headliners because many bands and artists did happen to overlap on set times. I'm glad to have gone this year as this lineup was just if not more amazing as the last time I had went in 2006. Tickets were sold out in a record time of 124 hours! None of this could have been possible without the help of my best friend Corteezy and my girlfriend Jackie, I just want to say THANK YOU & I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

?...?...?


I'm not one for repainting let alone corrupting this 93 Cannondale Tarck's original paint job (the original paint job was pretty much all coming apart) but I'm pleased as to how this came out! I'm having all the decals redone and I'm pretty excited to ride this bad boy when it's all finished. I am changing one major detail to it tho..but you'll just have to wait and see! I'll be seeing you guy's out and about in the spring!

Spring into new heights!


I hope that you all have had a great Holiday and a safe New Years Eve. Spending time with the family is always great and I look forward to spending my next Christmas eve with the "in's" but before I get ahead of myself, I'd like to say that I'm pretty excited about what 2011 has to bring! 2011 is going to be a great year with nothing but amazing adventures/challenges! So far I've booked Coachella to my calendar and I hope to you see you guys out there too! I'm pretty excited to put together new bikes to ride through out the spring, summer, & fall. I wish I could call out winter too but unfortunately my body tends to disagree with the colder weather and there isn't a thing that I can do about it (thanks Uncle Sam!). This winter alone has been one of the hardest (if not the hardest) seasons my joints have had to adjust to considering I've been on bedrest and crutches for the past 2 months. But things are starting to look up for the better as I think (hope) my body has finally adjusted to the weather and I'm now starting to take it easy and able to walk better! Hopefully my knee and ankle/foot heals up to 100% as I have a couple of new surprises for my FG city riders. I'm now starting to get into the "bike" mindset and need to get things in order for the new season. I hope to have my Caad 9 built up and ready to ride by spring but with other projects that are soo much closer to finished that the Caad 9 may have a bit of a delay but we'll see. Goals for this spring and summer are to be lighter, faster, & stronger than last season. I am very lucky to have a amazing set of friends and a girl that support me and push me and for this I thank you! Things are definitely starting to look up and I hope they are for you too. If you wanna go for a ride and want to start training hit me up soon and we'll link up and if not, I guess I'll see you out there!
