BoTM July 2010 - Riders Special

[eastcoaststeve]

I'm going to try a different approach this time....


Not a blinged-out, super clean, high end build...


just a purpose built, budget bike that likes to get dirty, and puts a big grin on my face.

Yes, it's fixed. No, there are no brakes other than my legs. And yes, it's as much fun as it looks.



cheers,

Steve

Steve you inspired me to find something to post.

Wearing out brake pads on a wet fathers day ride from a couple of weeks ago. Camera was as soggy as everything else.

My 1990 Overbury's Pioneer, as riden on the first lap of this years Mayhem. Was great to show a few people that you can go fast(ish) on a 20year old bike, and without 6" of skill correction front and back

Going past the legendary heckling tent.....

Pretty shot

Early 80's Ritchey TimberWolf:

this one should win the award for "proper retro"
