Fixed Magazine Launch Party

Last weekend was the launch of a new free magazine here in London called Fixed. Mark got one of his T's in there via a TokyoFixedGear ad but unfortunately he didnt get to design the ad himself. Im yet to sit down and do more than look at the beautiful photos so telling you it was full of well written articles would be a lie. Besides we went to the launch party for the mass of bikes and the free booze (thanks guys). Ive put up my photos from the evening HERE for you all.

MY FIXED

I have been meaning to put this up for a while now and have finally got around to it. After not having a fixed gear for about a year I have finally got one back on the road. The frame is a Nishiki road frame, all the parts apart from the rims I got in Japan. The bike including the wheels where built by Chris at hedgehog onehunga... hes pretty much the best wheel builder around. Its a pretty freaking fruity looking bike but im pretty happy with it, and it rides nice.
In other news there is talk of a booze cruze on this Wednesday, ill keep you posted with info.

Fixed Gear Flavor

Dave Benson AKA The Fixed Gear Admiral
recently put together a ritchey breakaway fixie.
as you can see by the photo it just breaks down via the cup links. It even comes complete with a suit case for all your travel needs.
It retails around $1900 NZ for the frame fork headset and suit case.
Very Cool.

You cant beat a classic.

I found this beautiful NOS De Rosa with C-Record pista group and Campagnolo Shamals whilst trolling the cyberweb. Nice to see a classic rebuild in this crazy world of junior bars and 650 wheels.

Why sweat when you can have one of these...

There are a few vids on ewetube of the jet bike but they are pretty bad quality.

Mmmmmmmm, Beer Review

So there we were, one cold evening a few months back looking for kicks in Kings Cross and we found ourselves in the beer isle. We had already eased the joints with a few cold ones so the sight of the amusing Bishops Finger sparked an idea… beer tasting but with a little twist. We decided to pick a selection purely on the stupidity of their name. Allot of the local beers here in London are much like its countrymen, weak, bitter and nasty. So back to Ruapekapeka (the bat cave) we headed to cool our unchilled purchase and down a few tall cans in the meantime.

What follows is Mark’s little write up of our tasting.
Bishops finger
Ausome gold trimmed label, cool jack daniels shaped bottle. 5.4% and a strong malty hop flavor which I dont really like. we give it 6 tubes stops out of 10 (10 tube stops being an ultimately miserable experience, trust me I do it when I cant ride).
Urg ok onto Hobgoblin
really cool ye oldy TOLKIEN style label. surprising flavorful beer, hints of berry? bottle cap t-shirt deal on the back of the bottle which is kinda. 5.2% we liked this we give it 3 tube stops (which is a good night remember!)
Waggle dance
Defiantly the dumbest named beer. I dont think I even need to taste this but im an alcey and will drink anything so here we go.... mmmmmm smells really good, weird. its got a fruity honey flavor easy to drink, like a fruity lager? we would give this a 2 but the lable, name and bottle shape is sooo gay we give it a 4.
GOLDEN GLORY!
Nat said the golden shower taste delicious (Ed: Freudian slip), ummmmmm yeah its a bit too fruity for me, no really. fruity weird asha said it taste like purple guana (remember those) gross we give a unamis 6 tubes.
Old Peculiar (the legend)
Yeah its not all that. dark, 5.6% strong kinda weird. im drunk i cant really tell but asha cant drink it so it must be pritty bad. me and nat give it 5.
