flash vs trash
Mike was just telling me about this australian dude who is going to open a new bike/motorbike shop in nz. Theres a few of these kinda shops over here. There kinda like the vintage clothing stores that buy container loads of old levis from america or canada and sell them for the price of new jeans here. I dont mind these types of shops, there fun to look in and sometimes if Im feeling rich I might buy something small, (actually now I just get Straton to steal it for me) but I still love and would much rather go the old school route of rummaging through piles and piles crap at Mr Bo Jumbles to find that 50cent diamond in the ruff.
Anyway, I went to check out another new shop that opened near me in hip east london. Its called TourDeVill and it has everything you expect from a trendy new bike shop. Renovated old building with polished wood floors, couches to lounge around on and enjoy your latte and a shed full of vintage parts bought off an old dutch shop owner/collector for sale at dentist prices. I sound bitter I know. Really, I think its great that bikes are cool again..... really! Heres some pics I snapped, check out the colnago mountainbike.        Built these new wheels up for max, there 32hole durace on Dodici V2 proto type rims with blue halo nipples. Ill hopefully get some of these for myself when he starts bringing them in.  and Ive been meaning to post this for ages! Its stratons 3bar cruiser he built for his girlfriend. Would look rad stripped to raw I recon. What do you think, flash or trash?

The Colnago MTB is rad!
Ans stratins curiser is also rad!
thats mean but should really be trash to suit strats in my humble opinion...
those dodicis, someone going to bringing the in?? Any ideas of cost per rim. Seen them on their site for 100euro it think,.... hopefully cheaper than $200 a rm here...
I reckon trash on the cruiser too, but i'd just feel bad peeling that paint off, there wasn't a scratch on that frame when i got it.
yeah anna needs to start riding it! ash's bike was thrashed after 6 months of commuting.
Max (tokyofixedgear) is going to distribute dodici in london, dont think anyone will be getting them in NZ. Maybe I should post some to tim?
Mark... I am super keen on a set of Dodici.. can you hook it up?????????//
That cruiser's mean. I like the red.
I just emailed Jacopo from Vintage Pista and he said they can do wholesale on dodicis. Just waiting to hear if he'll do the same price per set for a group order... I'm wanting a set!!
