dont know how I missed this one. I'm really into bikes. Part of the reason I want a crew cab so much, to combine my hobbies

I used to race BMX when I was a kid, sold my bike for my first car. Dad matched what I saved up, bought a '66 bug.

wasnt really into bikes for a long time, then got this one and the whole bike thing came back to me

my first of many stretch bikes. still have this one

Image

I painted it an awesome copper metallic, and it stayed that way for a while

Image

built my brother one, a little smaller. He never said, but I'm sure it got stolen

Image

then, I went to a bad ass vw show, the niello ride to walk charity show. they always have a great raffle, everything out and they pick your number, you get to pick from whats available. As I pulled in with the slammed taxi vert, I saw the bike and I knew I was going to win it. And I did, 2nd ticket they called. So I decided to combine the two, as it had an internal 3 speed hub, not 2 different actual gears

Image

the black and the copper don't go well, so I painted the real dyno stretch bike VW L87 Pearl white, with a little candy and flake. that worked better with the black 3spd rims

Image

then I bought a BMX. and another (this time chinese fake) stretch cruiser

Image

and moved from Sacramento to Houston, with a job, a cell phone, and a GMC truck I purchased 6 days before the trip. All of my worldly possessions (not much) but, 2 stretch bikes and a BMX

I stripped the replica stretch bike to bare metal and let it rust. I think a lot of you have seen me on this one. It's a good rider and gets a ton of looks and thumbs up

Image

I took it to southpadre, and rode it in the ocean. bare metal

Image

clear coated it afterwards.

Image

now it's pretty sunburnt. This bike actually got stolen, and turned up at a pawnshop. I was able to call the police to get it. I got it back a few months later

then I got into BMX again. Found a hutch from the 80's really cheap. Sold it within a few hours for a huge profit. Turned around and bought this, a limited edition Crooks & Castles 26" custom OM Flyer. only 300 made, it was like 197. real leather pads and seat, excalade white metallic paint. just sweet.

Image

rode that thing everywhere, but the bike was bad ass and people kept trying to steal it at bars. I would come out to find half cut chains and cables, 1 time I had to borrow a friends cordless grinder to cut off my ULock bacause someone totally messed up the key hole trying to pick it

so I sold it for double what I paid
Image

thats when I got the one back from the cops, so I rode that around a while. and the white stretch.

organized a big thing at work. We built like 200 bikes for kids this christmas, a bunch to the boys and girls club, and a bunch to the little league team in the hood that we sponsor. We bought, built, and presented them to the kids, along with a riders safety course with participation from the Astro's and HPD. Astro's parking lot, one of the piters came out and signed autographs for the kids, and the HPD did the safety course

Image

I thought that was a really cool thing to be a part of. I didnt have any family here for Christmas, and I didnt go home, so it really cheered me up to see kids on a bike with huge smiles

I was really missing that special BMX, so I found another one lol. Same bike, but number 111 out of 300. trust me, these things are tough to get, I even scour ebay for just the special parts

Image

Since I plan on keeping this one, I found an old school pair of my favorite bars, 1980's BOSS tri bars in mint NOS condition

Image

Long posts for sure. I'm still rocking the White BMX and rusty bike all the time. It's the only one on indoor status
Image

I just picked up my first fixed gear bike at a pawn shop. super cheap and lots of good parts. At first I bought it just cause I figured it was stolen and I'd find the owner. Went asking around and the actual owner did pawn it, so I'm going to come up with a good paint job on it

If you are on instagram and like bikes, thats where I post pics from my rides. And VW stuff. Music stuff and alcohol related fun as well :D user name @erikgjhc

I'll leave ya with a few that I really like:
