Save the Giant Pandas!

Over the weekend I had to work on a Social justice class project. My injustice topic is endangered species, but focusing on the Giant Panda. I was in uptown for a couple of hours with some friends getting signatures to prove that people care about Pandas. I got a couple of pictures while I was freezing my but off!

It was really cold out!

Waste Basket Got Some Sweet Art

I drop off my Waste Basket over at Jeff's house. Jeff runs Bike Jerks. He put a cool skull on there. I got some pictures off of his blog.

Looks even cooler with the art on there!

Obsessing Over These Songs

 Self Esteem

 Sense, Sensibility

 

Andrew Jackson Jihad is a really good band. This album, "Can't Maintain", is part of my winter soundtrack.

Longboarding

Bernardo lives in a condo complex downtown next to the Guthrie. The parking garage is underground and heated. we decided to take advantage of it and longboard in the garage. There were some pretty steep ramps to bomb down and danger at ever corner. The sketchy level was so high, because we didn't know if a car was coming when we would carve around a corner. Ultimately, it was a lot of fun and I hope to do it again soon. Here are a couple of Photos we took.

BMX Bike for Sale- $250

So I was walking through my garage last night and I noticed how cluttered it was. Long story short, I am selling a lot of stuff. One of the things that is for sale is my BMX bike. I use to do tricks and all of that jazz, but I got tired of hurting myself. The bike for sale is a Specialized Fuse 2. It is a freestyle BMX bike and is in great condition. There are some scratches on the front fork, but they are from using it. The saddle has a tear in it from doing a tail-whip that went wrong. I am selling it for $250. I got it for $400 brand new. Let me know if you are interested. Email me at lcaffes12@bsmschool.org.

All-City Dropout

So I am looking at my bike this morning and noticing that paint is chipping away off all of the frame the frame. I don't think the frame is worth getting it repainted, however it is a sweet vintage frame. What I really want is an All-City Dropout frame. It is simply beautiful. Sea foam green color. The head badge has a ton of work done on it. Just beauty. Only problem is that it costs more money than I have. Here are a few photos of my dream frame.

 Gray version of the frame.

 First prototype ever made.

 Such a cool color

Pictures from All-City Cycles. You can read all about it at the website. They describe the geometry really well and how it is like a large BMX frame, gnarly.
