Raise the Sun Fundraising Party @ Zen Garage


Quality Coffee.


That home-brew vibe.


Hearty food!


50+ bikes descend on Zen Garage.


Popo showed up.


Hey Lassie!


YOLO!


The crowd inside.

To help get Rising Sun Workshop off the ground we hosted a fundraising event at Zen Garage. The event brought the Sydney 2 wheeled community together for a ride, followed by quality Single Origin coffee, hearty food, beers, live bands, a raffle, a live Auction and even a burlesque show!

Loved having these guys over at the garage. Such a different crowd to what we’re used to, but that familiar great vibe. I took a few more photos on Zen.

MKVR32 Studio Shoot

So yesterday I got a call from Ryan at Hot4s Magazine. He had a studio shoot booked, but the guys who owned the car refused to have a girl shot with their car for religious reasons. That meant he had a babe booked for the day but no car to shoot her with. He asked if I’d be willing to bring the Golf in. I had a busy day lined up but after a few calls I managed to buy some time, grab some lunch then I hit the car wash on the way down.

Was great to meet the team at Hot4’s and Performance Garage. Like minded people. I’m hoping we’ll be working together more in future!

PS: Shots by Sergio (except the 2 colour ones by me!).

Goodbye Monkeys


Sold to Dav from Toymods.

I let both of them go yesterday (to a top bloke, Dav from the Toymods forums). I just never got the bug… pretty sure Dav will though!

SE Quadangle


Check out the lines. It’s bizzare, love the looptail, love how the top tube connects to the bottom of the head tube.


Fluted seatpost is a nice touch, love the lightning bolt on the saddle too (can never have too many lightning bolts!).


The double down tubes are so cool. Awesome that they made a custom frame pad for it too.


Pop!

Keep It in the Family


Daniel Dittmar is off to Europe to live, what a legend! I wish him all the best, he’s gonna kill it!


As expected, bikes all over Dittmar’s house in Newtown.


All mine, needs a bit of a clean. Missing front brakes, rear rim is a little worn, rear tyre too but apart from that she’s just gorgeous!

I always knew I’d end up with an SE Quadangle one day. Yesterday I saw one rock up in my facebook feed and I knew right away it was Dittmar’s bike. Some dude had first dibs and I had 2nd, 2st dude fell through… sweeet the bike is mine! :)

Funny thing is I had eyes on it from the first time I met Dittmar in 2009 where he interviewed me for his magazine (the bike features in the article too), great thing about running a blog, check out the blog post here.

Funny bike updates


I had bought some Tektro 559 long reach front brakes, they looked the goods. As soon as I went to fit them up I quickly realised they were still way too short to reach the 650C rim’s braking surface. Super bummed. I ended up having to fabricate a small piece of thick steel to make the stock front caliper work.


Still waiting on seatpost + grips!
