Rare item

Splendid, I found drum brake and it wasn't expensive! I will have o start new MTF project...
Does anyone want to buy my old bike?

Cheer up!

Oh my...! I just notice that in 2008 there was 126 post and in 2009 only 96! Thats 30 less!
So is it going to be 2010 66 post, 2011 post 36 and in 2012 only 6 anymore!



























Real fixed hub from beginning of 1900's

Concor

Wool Ride - Helsinki

Hey, as I said in previous post we used to have Wool Ride here in Finland.
Maybe 20-30 bikes came on ride. We made nice cruise around Helsinki and
after that drop on Cafe Regata for some coffee/tea/cacao. In Cafe Regata they
do have campfire outside so it was very nice. It was -10c today but because
of warm clothes and no wind it was very nice weather.

Pripyat fixed

Today in Helsinki there were organized 'Wool Ride' for fixies.

Yesterday I realized that I dont have anymore any bike to drive in snow.
I needed to get fat tires on something... No luck, no bike didnt accept bigger
tyres. What to do? A new bike? What, in 6hours (clock was 18.00). From
my backyard, under snow I found pile of super rotten frames from 30-40's.
They all were so rotten that pieces fell off! Pripyats frame is made out of 3 different
frames, fork is from Victoria which I believe is from WW2 era. For wheels I used
"motomag" and "fourspoke" with tires I found from my backyard too. Front tire is
groovy green GoodYear made in Indonesia from year X. Pripyat was ready for
test drive at 23.30, after 40meter test run I went to sleep. Today it worked fine
all 10kilometer Ride! Fun! :)
