I was out of town this week for work, and when I came home I had package waiting for me from Airborne Bicycles. I was planning on meeting up with RL and several other riders first thing Saturday morning for a ride at Whiting Ranch, so I spent some time to get the Goblin assembled…

This evening I had a chance to install my new Shimano 12-36t cassette. I took a picture of it for your viewing pleasure. In case you’re blind, 36t on the left and 34t on the right. Viola! I test rode it on the street, but I’ll have the opportunity to see how well it works…
Yes its FRIDAY, but that’s not the reason why we so excited. Cousin Joe did a make-over on his Airborne Taka. Check it out mang: So that means tomorrow we get to spend some time on our super secret test location just so we can get his bike dialed in. Another bit of exciting news…as…
Check out what I got, its a Canvas Print of a recent race where team mates, Corey Pond and Art Aguilar are cheering me on as I ride through the course. The colors came out super vivid, unfortunately, my camera fails to capture the true quality of the print. I was amazed by the craftsmanship…
Scheck it out mang, we’ve got a new video available for your viewing pleasure. With the help of our fantastic friend, Khoa N. (by the way ladies, he’s single and a homeowner, but you must have good to excellent credit to be considered for dating), he was able to relace the wheel to the new…
We built the “Ultimate AM Bicycle” back in July of 2007 with a KHS AM2000 frame, XT/XTR components, Spinner Cargo fork, Vuelta Wheels and IRD parts. This bike has served me well, it is tough as nails and a blast to ride. I’m planning to go back to SuperD racing for the 2011 Winter Series…

Last week I posted some pictures of my new project bike, the Bianchi Nyala. This bike originated in the 90s and that’s why I love it! I’m a HUGE fan of older bikes from the 80’s-90’s and I’ve actually acquired a butt load of them to restore and resell. On this project bike, thought about…
For a while now, I’ve been looking for a 80-90’s mountain bike to tinker with. I lucked out and found this Bianchi Nyala on Craigslist. The seller had it for $50, but I was able to get it for $40. During my lunch break, I drove down to pick up this guy. I was pretty…
Last night I hosted “Shop Night.” This gave Moe the opportunity to finish up the final details on the Sette Vexx DH frame. We had planned on getting this bike completed at an earlier date, but due to injuries, and chain guide issues, it was pushed back. However, last night Moe got this thing dialed…
