How Sweet? Might have to have a change around on mine. Or build another. Anyway, sorry if these are your pix - just spreading the love...

Money, no object...

2011-07-23T04:39:00.000-07:00

There's three of these on Fleabay at the mo. Three! Fok!

Man with er, van.

2011-07-23T04:35:00.000-07:00

I'm all for vans with appliance mags and bubble windows, but there's some things they shouldn't be used for. Dude looks a bit like Dion over rom...

Killer knuckle

2011-07-23T04:29:00.000-07:00

From the vault. I think this was from NFK a while back - could be wrong. So killer. Love that fat front end and orange rims. Enjoy.

Plate surround...

2011-07-23T04:27:00.000-07:00

Killer - just arrived from NHS. Gotta make some brackets for it and get some of those numberplate bolt light thingies...

Bike I wish I'd bought...

2011-07-18T10:58:00.000-07:00

Saw this a while back - thought about buying it, then flaked out. Still kick myself everytime I look at it. Kinda sweet.

Twolane blacktop

2011-07-18T10:50:00.000-07:00

Had a day off, so shuffled round the garage, then sat and watched this while the girls were out. killer...

Fine forwards

2011-07-18T10:48:00.000-07:00

Had these fine things made up a while back by Dick at Bootleg Customs - change of direction means they sat unloved. Flea'bayd to someone who can use up good.

Singlepot project

2011-07-18T10:40:00.000-07:00

Enfield project is taking shape finally. After a brief photo opportunity over at Mike D's killer bornloser site (see links >>>), I finally got round to putting up some more pix. Thinking about drawing up some snide logos for the tank - gonna replace the native American chap with a guy wearing a turban.

FIne Trump pix

2011-07-18T10:36:00.000-07:00

Triumph finery. Collected over many months of lurking etc. Once again, if your's - props. If not, doesn't mean you can't enjoy...

Fine knuckle...

2011-07-18T10:24:00.000-07:00

Been a while. Been collecting (I mean stealing) random rubbish off the web. Here's some favs. If they're your pix - congrats - they caught my eye...

Pix for Chris...

2009-12-30T04:06:00.000-08:00

As promised (later rather than sooner), sweet candy red/white/gunmetal Peugeot single £225... SOLD

New projects...

2009-11-08T10:03:00.000-08:00

Been kinda busy, with these - got some cash together now so I'm going to change the rear end of the Triumph... pix to follow...

Insane project...

2009-11-08T09:59:00.000-08:00

I've been following this thread on the JJ for ages, I won't say too much about this, but damn! Talk about insane sheet metal skills... I pinched the pic from the beginning of the thread - make yourself a coffee and check the rest. Badass custom skills... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=239775&page=01

For G...

2009-09-16T06:06:00.000-07:00

Here G - pics as promised. Black one is a bit of a brute, but it's been barely used, might be a bit big - I took it for a spin and it fitted me fine (with the seat down). Candy red Carrera is luverly - spot on size, rides nice too - just sorting out a new chain for it. Don't know if the colours are your bag tho dog?

Number 10...

2009-09-15T11:59:00.001-07:00

Number 10... matt black, bits of chrome here an' there - killer carbon saddle. Buy it & ride it. The black hides the dirt.

Indie fixie...

2009-09-15T11:54:00.000-07:00

Alright, not a fixie - it's just a single, and nothing to do with independent trucks other than the sticker, but kinda sweet all the same. White tyres - just in time for winter. Sweet. Not.

junk deluxe...

2009-09-05T07:37:00.001-07:00

Smaller frame (20") - ideal for someone 5'5 ish in classic black with gold lug lines... schweet. Check the sunshine as well!

Another single speed...

2009-08-17T12:02:00.000-07:00

Another offering - largish frame - with a mix of sweet bits - nice old Ambrosio rims on Atom hubs - red highlights... Shwing! "If you're going to spew - spew into this..."

Fixed Gear...

2009-08-02T13:35:00.001-07:00

Built it and couldn't hack it- so here it is in all it's glory - my sweet fixed gear ride. It's on the bay at the mo, my loss is your gain... Watch this space for another single speed - bare metal frame / white highlights - ideal for the English summer..?

Forwards...

2009-07-28T07:25:00.001-07:00

In an attempt to make the Trump a little more 'ridable', I had these killer forwards made up by Dick @ Bootleg Customs. Killer stainless finish and a sweet Lockheed M/C for the disc conversion I'm doing on the back... I designed 'em a logo & quarter page ad in part payment - he seemed stoked! Dick's got him some killer stainless skills - and a sweet old TRW as well! Get some!

Nigerian Crash Helmet...

No caption needed!

BSA 500dbd...

2009-07-22T09:21:00.000-07:00

I was watching this on the bay a while ago, when it just disappeared. Not that I was considering a capital purchase, but dang! 500dbd? Not many things in life are finer. Perhaps a new girlfriend or finding a 20 in an old pair of jeans... or Amy Reid. Hmmm, Amy Reid...

Custom Sickle...

2009-07-22T09:17:00.001-07:00

Once again, I've forgotten where - maybe a flickr find - I dunno, but hell that's got more flavour than fruit striped gum. Respect the metalflake...

Before & After...

2009-07-22T09:05:00.000-07:00

Got sent a quiz on Facecock by Trawler - about hair metal - I didn't fair as well as him... Made me think of this - reckon Eddie's been on it for the last 15 odd years? Yeah....

More Motorsickle Goodness...

2009-07-22T09:02:00.001-07:00

Once again, their original location escapes me, but Fvck! What a knuck... Not sure about the antique paint, but that's not a criticism just MHO, you never rub another man's rubarb... or knock his sickle.

Motorsickle Goodness

2009-07-22T08:58:00.000-07:00

Just a few pix of stuff I've found in the past - I forget where from, but if they're your's – props. how sweet is this trophy? Pre unit with P-pad, high pipes... Belstaff jacket optional.

Respect tha OG - JG

2009-07-06T02:25:00.001-07:00

Well, went to Rom Jam Saturday - didn't skate very much, drank a lot of beer tho. The highlight? Has to be the above - the man Ian Stokes tribute to the OG - John Greenwood - owner of the Rom since '78 baby. This shit ain't washin' off. Cult Classic tattoo shows how it's done. A little crazy? Maybe... For the love? Most Definitely. Only for the hardcore? Without a doubt.

I'll post some pix & maybe a little footage of the afternoon's going's on when I can steal it off Matt courtesy of Monkeyglove.com

RomJam...

2009-06-30T08:30:00.000-07:00

It's on the way – 4th July. Weather's promising to be killer hot... Keep the dead r'coons out'ma truck... Hey ma!

Bike #3...

2009-06-21T07:08:00.000-07:00

Third in the series of the grand clearout, is this offering. A much larger frame this time (24") - I normally pass this size up, but I've got a bit of a sickness when it comes to things two-wheeled.

Still needs a clean up, and a couple of bits were past saving (pedals and brake), so I've sorted some others to finish it off right. Spec runs as folows: Raleigh frame & forks, Rigida chrome rims laced to Maillard hubs, nice old Sugino Maxi singlespeed 48T crankset, New Dicta 16T freewheel, Weinmann sidepull front brake or rear if you fancy, and some more VP pedals. Cool ITM bull barsand stem suit the bigger frame - ideal if you're 6' plus - it'd save you getting off crippled when you arrive at work! If interested email me - it's going on eBay if there are no takers...

And, as a footnote, just when I said no to buying more stuff, I saw a postcard in the window of the papershop this morning... 14 speed Peugeot. Half an hour later - I've already fallen off the wagon. Still, it'll make a sweet track bike (really quite nice), unless I decide it's too good to strip the gears off? Pics later. Much later...

Speed Week (a while back)...

2009-06-19T03:19:00.000-07:00

My buddy Mick emigrated to Aus a few years back - he took a run out to Adelaide's Speed Week a coupla months ago - saw some cool stuff. Killer Vincent was pretty fast - there's a write on on his website if you feel interested - hit the link over on the right: www.vdubber.com - nuff good stuff...

Single #2...

2009-06-18T12:07:00.000-07:00

Here's the second one - the pile of garage bits isn't geting any smaller - I've called it Allan. This one came out pretty good too - IMHO, the metallic brown is totally killer - it needs to be seen to be appreciated. Sweet ITM bars cut down within an inch of their life, super skinny Mavics - this baby weighs nothing! Runs sweet too. I rode it to a mate's shop but he was closed! I just about made it back - I seriously need more exercise. On eBay now - drop it like it's hot...

Singlespeed Project...

2009-06-18T11:56:00.000-07:00

I built this single speed out of stuff I've bought but shouldn't have (damn you eBay!). The first of several - sold it last week to try and claw some cash back - the Triumph won't build itself - plus I can use up a garage full of bike stuff! It came out pretty sweet, even though I do say so myself - Killa old Reynolds frame, skinny touring bars to split lanes in London traffic - I even rode it around the block!

Chop project...

2009-06-18T07:47:00.001-07:00

My 650 ironhead Trump - I've been at this on-off for a year or more. Things keep getting in the way - rank laziness being one of them. Gonna be killer when it's finished, forwards, high pipes, big tall sissy bar from Fenland choppers. Anyone got a 19" front wheel off a single disk dyna? Having one might stir me back into action...

Nomorea 24"...

2009-06-18T07:44:00.000-07:00

My buddy Tony Mac built this a few years back - then never rode it. Nomorea 24" courtesy of Bill Ryan at Supercross - a nod to the old school Nomura ridden by Wade way back when...

My first post...

2009-06-18T06:18:00.000-07:00

Well, here goes, my first post - of little or no interest to the rest of the world, I'm in the process of uploading some bike pix, but for now, here's my home from home. Rom. IMHO, the greatest vintage cement inside the M25 (sorry Harrow). Overview pic is by me on my lonesome, after John Greenwood went home, classic pool shot is courtesy of Jelly (sorry for the theft man - thanks Matt). Respect tha pool. I have the ankle to prove it...
