  1. damn, dildo bars are getting raped up in here (yes homo). but yea, in defense of the bars- they dont translate very well with the angle in the pic. they look dope in person, and i get stopped on the street a gang by people asking about them. but more importantly they feel really good while riding...especially with the Nitto reversible stem flipped up as pictured. as for the "no grip" issue- i JUST built the bike the day the pics were taken so both the drops and the flat bar pics are pre-grips. have grips on all three set-ups (risers not shown).

    This is by the zoo and the aquarium, no? Shit, I forget the name of that park.

    Anyway, bike looks good, but not a fan of the dildo bars.

    How much did u sink into the bike all told??

    ha. good eye. that is near the zoo over at Kapiolani Park. as for the total, man, i got LUCKY on this one. not sure you saw my first post here (its been awhile, about 30 pages back) but, i came up on a steal. got the frame new with one-ride-old components: 75 cranks/ring, nitto jag steel stem, jag drops, sugino mighty post, fujita saddle (sold), izumi chain, dura ace cog, royal nu pedals and a few other goodies for $800 shipped. i was convinced it was scam until EMS dropped it at my doorstep 2 days after i paid. but yea, im loving her. got a black Makino in the build process as we speak.

    oh snap. the "entroducing" LP cover. is that Brian Cross' (B+) signature on the bottom right? he's my all time fave hiphop photojournalist, covering guys like Freestyle Fellowship and other OG Goodlife MC's since like 1990. a little interesting factoid on this photo by Brian himself:

    "We measured the focus really quickly because of the cat and we measured in feet when it’s set for metres. That’s why the foreground is out of focus. It was honestly a total mistake."

  3. word, youre bound to come up on at least a frame or two...especially if youre round the 5'6" arena. alas, sometimes i wish i were a wee lad like most japanese riders. i'd have me a stable right about now. although, being a 1/2 japanese giant works well with the ladies, so i take that back.

  4. im doing an njs frame run in japan if anyone is interested

    good ruck. slim pickings FOR SURE, what with the nippon pisto boom, and the gaijin (foreigner) bang. plus the NJS blog dealers are cleaning house all over japan.

  5. can never have enough white...

    "white is right!"

    Talcom X! WHITE POWDER!

    also, yes...Makino custom. a fucking gigantor at 60cm. built to fit, though. my all-black Makino is a little more trim at 57.5 cm.
