Deaf Pigeon Update
Many of you know that i run the fixed gear blog ‘Deaf Pigeon’ and if you follow this blog or know me personally, you will understand how excited i am about the BOIKZMOIND film.
The premiere for this is on Saturday so as a little promotion i decided to ‘reskin’ the Deaf Pigeon site in some BOIKZMOIND livery.
The Workbench
I have a lot of bike components dotted around the flat and with the constant addition of more and more, my girlfriend was getting a little annoyed. So i decided to build myself a workbench to house all of my bike parts. In addition to the stand, i got myself a Park Tool TS8 wheel truing stand so i can build wheels properly instead of using a set of old forks and a brake.
I think it looks awesome and cheers to my mate who helped measure up, draw it out and put it all together over the course of 2 evenings! Super stoked on it and i think it looks awesome!
If you need any wheels building, you know where to come :D
My newest bike
Been wanting a Leader bike since i started riding Fixed a year ago and when i heard that Leader were dropping the 2011 version, i had to get one. I got it from Tokyo Fixed (awesome guys) and went to pick it up in person, which just so happened to coincide with the Fixed&What’s first periodical launch, which was also really cool to go to.
The bike is awesome, so much better than my Peugeot conversion for so many different reasons! You can see all of the photos in detail over on Deaf Pigeon.
Bike Rack
I’ve been collecting bicycles for a few months now. I’ve somehow acquired 2 fixed gears, a vintage road conversion for a friend and a BMX in pieces. This called for some space saving techniques.
What’s the best thing i thought… A BIKE RACK! So i had my girlfriends dad knock me up a rack system that would fit my bikes on.
We only had one small problem, i live in a basement, so the ceilings are really low! We worked something out in the end though! Really pleased with it, and i can now fit more bikes in ;)
