Klunkin ain't easy

Now, I'm not going to tell anyone else how to dress when riding a bike, especially my my team mate Crash. He does have that name for a reason. I do suggest, no matter how much you are into grounding that you wear shoes when wall jumping a klunker. Just a suggestion mind you. We think he will regain full use of his foot.

32x Magic

My OG Black Sheep 26+ was a 3X8 drive train. Good old standard. But, with its short wheel base and 3" tires it jus begged to be a single speed. With  vertical dropouts it was find the magic ratio or use a dangle, chain tensioner. I want simple an clean looks, so found the magic at 32X21 ☠☠☠ARrrrrrr

Talisman

Talisman, a good luck charm, protection from evil, or in the case of these little images, something that brings forth a positive emotional reaction/inspiration.

Copper juju at the back of the pack

Since in 2017 I spent all my time riding bikes and drinking local beer, it occurred to me that I now need to have some cash flow. With a bad ass Mone bikes El Continente frame inbound, I need parts. So cranked the copper headbadge making. I'm too full of insubordination to go be an employee, and I need time to ride.
