Pizzaween Two!!

Pizzaween this year had a realitively good turn out, especially when it came to the freakbikes. For the first time in a long time the majority of the bikes on the ride were freaks. I didn't take too many good pictures, especially of the fun stuff because I was busy doing it. We played a few games of hard-contact freakbike footdown which many wheels. Later we played throw the wheel, drink the booze, and tallbike jousting. Whoever took the pictures of the joust couldn't be bothered to stand up, and it was dark so none of them came out. Oh well. Full album here.

Ape Hangers? Nah, Gorilla Hangers!!

You may have already seen these bars on Big Blue, but we threw them on a short bike first.  The ride is totally crazy because you pretty much have to grip the bars underhand.  

As mentioned in the Big Blue post, these bars deserve their own post, so here it is.  One night while out dumpstering in Tuscaloosa, I noticed a broken trashcan on the side of an alley.  To me it looked like a bucket and two sets of massive ape hangers - and I was right!  Turns out you can get two good sets of handlebars off of any curb in tuscaloosa and all you have to do is jack a garbage can.  Fortunately there are lots of broken ones in the back-alleys.

The Old Shed

Here's some pix from my old shed at the Howie Hilton when I lived there. They were also kind of exploding into the yard.

Bike Move '09

Back in '09 I moved from one of house to another. My parents came down to help me move the bicycle collection that took my entire back yard. With a trailer and a truck bed we ended taking two loaded-down trips to get it all...

Art Gallery

I told you we aren't the only people who call this art. Pizza Crew was offered a spot in the University of Alabama, New College art gallery. Kind of nice to see them in a clean room instead of a dirty drive-way. They'll be up for about a month, or until we take them to go a ride.

Big Blue

Big Blue was made specifically for our recent trip to Slaughterama, which I will post on later. We wanted to bring freakbikes, but we needed a way get them onto a VW Jetta with a roof rack. A 2-frame tallbike would have been too unstable, so we dreamed up this beast, based loosely on the Kevin Bike.

It's just one of those cheap blue Huffy's that I always see everywhere, with fork and drive-train
flipped. Then we threw a set of these massive ape-hangers, which really deserve thier own post, too. The seatpost is a piece of conduit we found outside of Baby House and the sissy-bar, obviously, is a crutch. It's held together entirely by U-bolts and hoseclamps. It rides pretty well, but needless to say, it's pretty rickety.

Gainesville, FL again

Spotted this ugly beast by the craft store. Note the cyclo-cross tires.


Dutch city bike. Utility and style!!
