Gonzy

With work slowing down it seems finally I have some time to reflect and search the infinite internets for weird, inspiring, boner making images, videos, or blogs. On this blog - http://ohoh2.blogspot.com, I found the above image. you just gotta love the gonz; who skates with a grey suite and pastel shirt (miami vice).

Which makes me think of a song lyric that goes:

"Make a point of having fun
It'll help you get through life
"Life sucks and love is dumb"
Golly, that's a real lie

Australia Order Update

The last two bikes of the updated order for Australia. So, 6 total beautiful bikes. Its a shame to see them go and it was an adventure to build them. These builds incorporated a lot of new bike hardware that we haven't used before like front drum brakes, disk brakes, wide cranks, rear dropout style chain tensioners. Which overall gave a more clean bike with better aesthetics and functionality. Test riding these bikes and making sure they are working properly was a real treat especially the 4 stroke bullet bike. The thinner tires, aluminum mag rims, the grubee 4 stroke with a 5 to 1 gear ratio made it seem to glide and cut corners quite properly. A metal beast indeed. Check out the pictures I apologize in advance for the poor quality, I lost the charger for my D-40 camera but as soon as I get it I will put up better pics.

Behind The Bars Build

Imperial Cycles is a Sponsor for the upcoming Behind The Bars Show this June 13th at Trailhead Cyclery in San Jose which means we get to enter 4 bikes. Here's one. Not too much to look at but trust me, it's getting there. It's fun racking my brain on how to make everything work and fit properly. Went from plan A, to B, to C and now I think I'm at plan Q. Started out as WCC bike which I started to chop to give it a digger style rake. Turns out that it shrank the bike dramatically so I went back to the drawing board in my head. Right now, I hopefully have everything figured out and did some test bends. Everything looks good so far. Hope it stays this smooth here on out. If not, I'm gonna be making up some new letters for my plans soon.
