Missed Connections - Part 6

Also saw the dual aerospoke bloke on Cleveland St. Was eating sub-par Chinese food so couldn’t yell.

Requested from another bloke heading down city rd near the Landsdowne, but only got a confused sideways glance. Sorry to startle you.

yep, got home to Prahran after riding all afternoon when the gf calls me to tell me that her house key is still in my pocket. had to ride back to fitzroy then back to prahran :x.

also, on friday afternoon/evening. a real nice daccordi roadie on elizabeth st, out front of one of the camera stores. pinky-champagne kinda colour, chrome fork(?), yellow cables. one of TC’s?

No that bike was built up by user Leon and was on ebay for a decent price a while back, bout $900 iirc, dunno if it sold or still belongs to him…

Too small for TC, and for me :wink:

Yep it’s been sold for a bit now. I thought the buyer woulda changed the cables by now.

I love to bone my bars!
Saw FreckL rocking live doing Titanics on the dance floor at the asian dance party the other night. Freeeeeeeesh!

2 dudes with 2 nice bikes at bondi junction westfields tonight. think there was a grey conversion and a red one. always good to see some fixed gears in my area.

Ride The Pony’s pimpin ride parked out the front of his house yesterday afternoon :wink:

Young guy riding a newish-white roadie 2pm Saturday in Northcote corner of high and clarke st that got his wheels caught in the tram lines and smashed into the road. Two things;

  1. Hope you’re ok man as it looked like it fucking hurt
  2. Why try and ride off like nothing happened when you clearly snapped your chain and a number of bike parts were left on the road?

Embarrassment and pride I suppose…

Beach Rd, early Sunday morning, a guy in a black, team kit (ala MASH) with ridiculously short risers.

Haha!

Lucky it has tinted windows otherwise you’d be able to see the baby seat in the back which would make it somewhat less pimpin. Have to give it back though later this week and go back to the old Falcon which sucks, fairly fun to drive and gets a fair bit of attention. I even had a grandma come up to me at Moonee Ponds Safeway and ask to have a look on the weekend because as she said ‘Arnie drives a Hummer doesn’t he’.

Sweet white cinelli with blue drops fanging it up miller stree north sydney. Sweet ride.

Awesome De Rosa (full campy) spotted near crown street today, this one could slot right into the bike porn thread.

That’s one of those new Primato reissues. Nice indeed especially mixing it up with some Atlanta 96’s…

Random guy on an old Shogun roadie with blue Deep V’s in Westgarth just now who accepted my proposal of a friendly race up the hill (and who then proceeded to kick my ass). Hey man.

lol

Hello to the gentleman riding down Gertrude st at lunch today with only one pedal on his bike.

Skid not requested - it looked uncomfortable enough already.

I’ve gone down for the same reason in the same spot once before. :oops: How do you ride off with a snapped chain though? :expressionless:

kick…push

or schluff.

that’d be lochy, snapped a pair of 4 month old suginos during work. had to one pedal it from the top of the city to collingwood to swap cranks

2 young kids yesterday arvo on fresh conversions. Both running white deep V’s and really bad seat positions.

And please kids spend 5mins in the mirror adjusting your helmet so it seats correctley (atm it wouldnt do shat if ya crashed)
