put my directors back on, and switched the animal stem off with a solid.

Also put some clear eastern grips on, but I don't like them much yet.

Considering painting it soon, and I got some nice leather from the dump that I want to recover one of my premium fat pivotals with like this guy did...



but the shoe-goo-style adhesives I've tried are crap and I can't figure out how to make it look normal even if I do get it to stick. Thinking I need some staples...


You will deffo need some staples to hold the cover down. I had to do this when I recovered my premium fat with denim best one to use was a pneumatic one

Put on some new Shadow Ravager Pedals, a primo DSG from Sean (Sketchphoto) and new duo bohan grips and barends. Went to the skatepark and fell a bunch, and destroyed the barends already

I only used shoe goo on the centre piece/ bolt hole then stapled around the bottom.

Laced up the wheel for my flat bike project.  Front hub is on order.  Hope to be popping some wheelies by next weekend.  

Odyssey Aerospace rim laced to KHE Geisha Lite (special shout out to Bunky Master Flex!!).  The rim is the "deep purple" color.  It essentially looks black until the sunlight catches it just right.  It is really hard to get a picture to turn out.  That was the best one I could get.  Super rad looking rims through.  I recommend them to anybody who likes the aero style rims.

Road my touring/cross bike over 100 miles in the past few days. Bombing through a ton of rails to trails in the countryside.


This sounds so awesome.

Ordered a new grips, chain, and brake pads for the '11 Trail Boss. Also just picked up a used Ruben tire for the rear since I am having some clearance issues thanks to my wheels needing a serious re-spoke/overhaul.

Ordered some trans green 8" 2-pc SBC Strip Bars, but they won't be back from the powdercoaters for a couple weeks.

Bought some more parts for the '97 Trail Boss project as well, Profile Hop-Up kit (American BB), Profile sprocket bolt, and an old solid cro-mo profile spindle.

Stock 2pc Strip bars, just custom powder coat. 8" rise, 28" wide, 10 degrees back, 2 degrees up.

They have the bars in stock, I just have to wait until the next batch of that color goes in for powder.

Sold my topload stem, madmax bars and wait for the perfect 10 / frontload. Then, I will completely cut down the last 1/8" of my fork.
