the Great Salt Lake and Pangea Speed

Looks like Andy has been up to some fun stuff lately, and with his Born Free build done, I'm sure he is looking for more work to do! One of these little projects being a facelift to our great friend Nate's big twin. The bike was originally bought from a great small boutique builder, but I'm not sure if Nate and the bike ever really gelled.

I know from first hand experience that the bike was impossible to turn at speed. It sat so low, that the floor boards would scrape through every traffic light turn. I'm pretty sure last time I was out in SLC, I fully skidded through a sharp turn on the floor board in the front and rear tire in the back....not a fun feeling.

Either way, some paint here, bars there, seat over there, lengthening the front end by 3" and a few other little secret tweaks and this bike is begging for a road trip.

Check out what Andy is up to over on his blogggggggg.

mean streets

this picture best describes what it feels like to ride a motorcycle in Brooklyn. hectic. you have to have your wits about you. The longer I live here, the more props I give to the bicycle messengers of the greater NYC boroughs. If I feel this way and I have a motor to push me through traffic AND brakes, I can't imagine the fixie sensation as a cab slams on its brakes and there's nowhere to go.

On a lighter note, here is a young guy on an "old school" style bike. That seems to be the go to explanation for people when they see malcolm's bike. "you, dat shit is like olllld school...." or "yeah, I'm feelin' that old schoooool sheeeeiit".

2006 is technically kinda old school these days...
