“Deep Custom” is a short documentary about custom bicycle framebuilder, Eric Noren and his company, Peacock Groove Cycles.

Because art is a necessary essential of elementary matter!

Well this is the story about me and mister Gary Fisher. When I started as a bike messenger I knew the ‘brand’ Gary Fisher, of course everybody did. But I was not so much into mountain biking so I never bought one.
Then in 1998 I met him for the first time during the CMWC in Washington DC. And damn that was cool, one of the great names of mountain biking comes and visits ‘our’ championship and I spoke him briefly. A couple of years later in 2005, I’m at the CMWC in New York. And who is there also Gary Fisher. This time we spoke a bit longer. And damn he is a friendly guy!

Here is a photo I shot with my (crappy) phone camera of him and my good friend Vincent.

The next day all the messengers met each other in some bar downtown NY. So we where there with at least a hundred of us. And I had to take a piss. So when I went to the toilet I see Gary sitting at the bar. On my way back I try to ignore him cause I don’t want to be the ‘groupie’ kind of guy. But he recognizes me (maybe because of the dreads) and says; “I don’t remember your name but it begins with a T and ends with a D. Do you want to drink a beer from me”. I was surprised but all of you who know me, I love a beer. So we drunk a couple of beers together. And later on Vincent also joined us. We had a great conversation about bikes and all the messenger shit.
And from then on I knew I had to buy a Gary Fisher bike. Now after all those years it finally happened, I bought one. Although it’s technically a Trek (Gary Fisher collection) I still think (and speak about it) as a original Fisher bike.
But we wouldn’t be FUCCIT if we didn’t do something with it. We started riding track bikes as one of the first guys here in Holland. It was in 1998 I believe. And now you see them everywhere. We started the whole bike polo shit here in Holland and it’s taking off. We are too old for doing tricks so Vincent and I came to the conclusion that fixed gear mountain biking will be the next big thing. And of course completely brakeless.
So the first thing I did to my brand new bike was to get rid of all the unnecessary parts (read brakes) and bought a bolt-on cog so I could ride fixed.

Well that’s the story here is the bike, let me introduce to you the Trek Gary Fisher Marlin 29er fixed gear  :D

And to Gary, if you read this. The bike rides GREAT!

ps. And no list of parts cause I hate those lists. I ride and it rides damn good.

You all scream for Bikeporn, so I got you some of both. And don’t you just love the Schwinn Traveler in this oldskool story. No worries for de buitenlandse kijkertjes: no lyrics, just fancy music. Wonder though of this will make it more SFW.

Dies ist een Scheissmovie! Aber ich weiss dass es auch deutschen Fans hier auf’m Fuccit gibt, die gerne Pornos anschauen, die Hölle (means HELL), ich glaube, die meisten Porno kommt aus Deutschland. Leider habe ich nie viel als Fahrradkurier bemerkt. Jedoch auf der anderen Seite … wenn es diese Junk wie im Film gewesen war, hatte ich wohl sein lassen. Gut für Menschen die lentetietjes und Deutschsprachigen lieben. Tschuss

Perfect 70′s styling in the new gallery on the FixFixFix.

Found on Berlin Fixed.

John Prolly took some really nice pictures of his girlfriend Lauren and her Bianchi Pista Via Condotti.

Another great gallery from the FixFixFix! I’m a big fan of both Amber and her ride!

It’s been around the blogs, but I found it on the Slumworm blog the first. It’s the Medium sized PFIX (Specialized’s fixed division) V2 complete build.

I’ve never made a secret of me not liking 26″ in FGFS, but I have to admit I like the looks of this bike… 
Most 26″ FGFS bike just look kinda wrong in my opinion, but this is one of the first 26″ complete builds I could see myself ride…

I know, it’s scary; me being 700c for life, saying I could ride a 26″ bike…
