Thanks to Pristine, Fishmeister and Mike from MASH, I had a lovely day racing through Amsterdam on the busiest day of the Sail 2010 event! I even talked Danish delight Josi into racing with me, the girl landed less than 24h before the race in Amsterdam and didn’t know her way around town, but the girl rocked, she can race and dodge tourists like a pro!
I’m still not used to going to these kind of events without drinking before, in and after the race… But hey, I can have fun without alcohol! Can I?

It’s a while you heard from me but this makes me smile, messenger poetry by Kurt Boone (and buy it)!

Thanks to Carlos!

Hey everyone. I messed up the date, next saturday is August 21st of course, not September. So yeah, we’re organizing an alleycat next saturday with Mike from Mash. None other than Stefan Vis is setting the course. We’re starting at the shop around three ‘o clock. Come and race, there will be cool prizes from Cinelli and Mash. Tell your friends!

Arnhem/Amsterdam got another girl running wild on a fixed gear!
We build this Batavus Pro Pursuit frame (one of only three ever made) for Josine, Skitch’s girlfriend, since the frame was too small for him, but fitted her perfectly. The handlebars have been cut another 2 inches at both sides, so the looks have been improved after the photo has been shot. As soon as the bike is back in Arnhem, I’ll take a new pic.
