2011 will be the year of the push bike

In our house anyway........



I used to be quite into my bikes, but as I got older and less fit and had less time to ride it slowly dwindled away to nothing.



About 5 years ago I built up a mountain bike for hitting up some of the downhill tracks near where we lived at the time.



I started with a $1000 24 Bikes pornking frame

Avid Juicy 5's (Hyraulic Disc Brakes)

I built it up over about a year using parts on sale and bargains I came across on EBAY from time to time.


Finished


Unfortunately when we moved from brisbane to Melbourne the bike saw less and less use so I decided to sell it.

Fast forward to the present, my eldest boys have been bikeless since our last move due to there being no suitable places to ride. n the new house there are kilometers and kilometers of tracks to ride on.


So today we picked up some early christmas presents for B & T in the form of a couple of entry level BMX's



The satisfied customers



So now the eldest 4 children all have good bikes its time to kit up mumma bare and I


Mamma bare will be getting a ladies XC bike and a sweet little Baby trailer for Miss P and Miss H to be carted around in and i'll be building up something for myself
Stay tuned.......

More Horror


Jason Vorhees Cosume Trial Fitting #1

An update from my fancy dress entry.......

I took an old pair of pants, jumper and shirt, dirtied them all up with black spray paint and tattered them then splashed on some fake blood

I'm happy so far but it still needs:
  • Dirty the inside fronts of the jacket
  • Blacken the pants some more
  • Gloves
