"ram into that fucking car"

-crazy day
-went to boxdog with john and rich to take my cranks ioff the cutter and to meet taylor and spencer
-went to boxdog and saw a whole bunch of little annoying hipster kids with their rad fixies
-they were so annoying, they had the balls to ask rainier if he was in mash sf
-wtf you don't do that shit
-spencer and taylor arrived and we spent 2 hours putting on the demolition bmx cranks on the cutter
-i am def getting freewheel to put my cranks on
-after that we went to dolores park to some lame hipster bbq
-met up with miles and christian too
-later headed back to the sunset to meet willie
-got some good ass pizza from north beach pizza
-when the fuck is my sprocket gonna come ben's cycle?

-macaframa with some new shit
-massan from mash sf is riding for them, so sick
-i saw macaframa with john and rich yesterday
-it's a really good film and everyone, even if you arn't a biker, should watch it
-it has the greatest cinematography i've ever seen that hasn't been professionally done
-this video kinda proves that point
-for the best effect, watch this on vimeo, full screen

gloss black or candy apple green?

-getting a steel leader frame so i can have a "track bike"
-no need for two trick bikes and i am afraid the cutter is going to have to be sold =(
-yea, i go through bikes like you go through underwear
-whatever, whatever i'll do what i want. haha
-so either the sleek gloss black or the candy apple green which will have sparkles on it apprently
-i'm leaning more towards the green
-as rich said like an hour ago "you gotta have some green between your legs"

pegs on a fixed gear

-this was gonna happen eventually
-kianu got em free from freewheel
-we all fucked around with em today haha
-i want some now for kicks

-the new leader trick frames
-they look really sick
-i'm like the gussets on the top and down tube and bottom bracket
-my favorite part is those fucking dropouts, looks soo sweet
