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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
