 This is Jordan in the rain trying to convince his friends to go for a ride. He thought the girls would like him but all that happened was
some cholos in a lowrider threatened to kill him and some gay dudes hit on him. Go figure.
He is also known as Tag, Frog Boy, or Red Light Ribbitt (he makes a frog face a lot and runs red lights with a recklessness). He rides an 80's Raleigh with Suzue basics on Alexrims, a Shimano 600 crankset and other random salvaged parts. He is wearing spongebob boxers and is in a quite jovial mood.
This is what his roommate had to say about him:
I've never seen anyone ride in such an annoying fashion as Jordan. I'm talking about blazing up sidewalks and pissing people off, not signaling to following riders, making unpredictable turns, eating shit on a track strand right next to you, making you to eat shit, too, mooning people on the track (true story) that kind of thing. I remember when he first went riding
with Judah and I he couldn't spin down the hills, so he'd just put his feet up on the downtubes going a million MPH with a barely working brake. That is what makes it fun riding with him. Lots of funny stuff
happens.

no name swiss-made track frame with gipiemme cranks,renak hubs, rigida dp18 rims, dura-ace cog, fsa ring, profile air-wing bars, and a 45x16 ratio. travis is texas-made living in the land of chocolate and alps. Permission for email address postage has been granted, though he doubts emails will come pouring in from the non-existant female fixie riders in Switzerland.

Mike can be reached at mwells1286@yahoo.com if any of you girls would like to watch him do no handed trackstands and flex his muscles all at the same time. Thanks Mike! |

 This is Phidauex from St. Louis, MO. He is riding a Maserati road conversion from the early
70's. Its got crappy everything, except for the cool chrome lugs, and assorted old-school parts. The crank is a particularly cool spiderless
model, complete with old cotters. He routed the
cable for the front brake through the inside of the bars, for a sleek look. He doesn't dare run a bike like this brakeless, since just about every part is over 30 years old (including the chain and brake pads), and is just
begging to fall apart, but he loves it all the same. Phidauex is wearing cotton boxers adorned with the planet "Uranus". Although he's taken, you ladies can still visit his site at http://www.flexistentialist.org Thanks Phidauex! |
