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.

Tallbike Birthday Cake

Pizza Crew Tattoo

It's been mentioned before, but here's a slightly better picture of Little Trevor's Pizza slice on his knuckle.  Jail-style.

Big Red Gets Fancy

I just found this rather lovely picture on facebook of "2 tall" Joe hanging out with big red.

Big Wheel/Ass Dragger

This a bike that got built at Big Baby House without me. Basically a completely random cobbling of parts to make something at the edge of rideable. The gearing is slow and chain is slack. Personally it kills my back to ever ride it to the store. Great stuff.

The call the Big Wheel, but to me Big Wheels are front wheel drive and have 3 wheels, so I've been calling it the Ass-Dragger in my head.

Bolt-together Tallbike

This bike is some really crazy shit. We used the flipped bottom frame design from Omahgarsh and the folding steering extension from this Instructable, but did them both in really lazy/tool-light style. The rear, yellow fork provides most of the bikes stability. The small front wheel compensates for the bikes crazy geometry. The entire thing is held together with U-bolts and hose clamps. Surprisingly strong with no welds, drilling, or cutting. The fatal flaw? When the back tire goes you have to take the ENTIRE bike apart to change it.

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.

Kevin 2.0

Also in preparation for Slaughterama, we re-worked the Kevin. First I took apart the whole held-together-by-inner-tubes-and-magic seat assembly and replaced all the wackiness with a hose-clamp and a U-bolt. I even drilled a hole for the U-bolt. Go me!

With all this, we managed to move the seat a fair-bit further forward, and while we were at we threw a nicer looking/feeling seat on. Switched out the bars for mustache bars and gave the whole thing a nice shitty paint job. I'm proud.

"Kevin's Bike"

A wacky contraption I built just before leaving and I've been working on. First of all, it's named "Kevin's Bike" after the bicycle Kevin rides in the kid's cartoon Ed, Edd, n Eddy. It sort of looks like it right? maybe we were just drunk. still are?

Anyway, this thing is held together by nothing more than a will to survive. It's basically a flipped bmx frame, with the steering rig from this post. The seat rig is half of the fork from my first tallbike wedged in behind the kickstand plate. Wedged into that is a seatpost from an exercise bike. A bent Free Spirit fork is locked down over the rear axle, and it has one of those cool lean-back bmx seatposts, wedged into it (leaning forward). The two seatposts are connected to eachother by an old bent mtb brake with the spring removed and locked into a fully-closed position. Everything is wrapped with rope and old intertubes for extra strength.

This bike is a WHEELIE MACHINE. It's seat is behind the rear axle, so you have to lean forward and constantly correct tiny wheelies. Great fun!!!!






Kevin is seen here, on his bike, totally killing at whiplash.
