Mr. Pursuit
Got the Raleigh Pursuit frame in today from the mail. I was still passed out when the doorbell rang so Qyel got it and threw it on me. Ghetto ass packaging and it was super ducttaped all over. The condition for being so old and so cheap was not bad at all, much better than the pics up on Ebay. Def a lot of scratches but no real dings or dents and the decals look sexy. and the head badge is pretty damn beautiful (check the pics). It came with the headset cups but no bearings or all that other stuff. Luckily I was hella bored last night and was looking through my bike stuff, and I found the og headset from the Azuki bike. I even cleaned it that day and tried to figure out how to put it all together using the internets. So... when I got the bike I installed my first threaded headset!! wooh! shit I am boring. Anyways, here it is :)

World Cup 2010
I really really want a vuvuzela..
Damnit Japan, breaking my heart.. 120 minutes back and forth. Everyone was saying it was an uneventful game but I thought it was intense, lots of saves by the japanese keeper and some really close chances that Japan could have converted. There goes the last of the Asians. I guess I am rooting for Argentina now.
Bike sheet: I won an old raleigh pursuit frame off ebay for suuper cheap, $26 shipped, but its taking its sweet time to get here. Its been about 9 days already.... I really want to build it up and sell it so I can get some money for the track axle!

-origin8 crank
-miche pista chain
-mks sylvan pedals
-italmanubri drops
-san marco concor saddle
Ratio is now 46x15 and it gets some speed. Also got a hold of a road disc wheel for $100 (hella cheap) so im gonna try and convert it, but itll probably cost more than I paid for the wheel :/. Everyone's telling how its stupid to ride in the street but I like the look and i dont really give a shit!

Pink Hottie
My Windsor is currently incomplete right now but... LK's new bicycle just came in today!!! Got hella excited and built it right away. Got it from airwalkfixed. It is a HOT PINK frame. Changed out the chain ring for a pink pake one, took out the ugly risers and threw on a black straight bar, and it has a san marco saddle for now. Just ordered a white turbo saddle, pink wellgo pedals, & white straight bar to complete it. Hopefully it comes in before the millbraers arrive :)!

Radbot 1000
-I'm not tryna get died when riding my bicycle, sooo...
I got a Portland Design Radbot 1000. Came in the mail today! It has a 1 watt rear led, which is the biggest and brightest rear light for bikes to my knowledge. Its worth the price if you want to be seen at night. Makes all my cheapo bike lights from china look worthless. Now I just need a front one
-Also, got my BB curve fixed from a craigslist guy (located in Gilbert). It was quick and a very good price. I'd recommend him to anyone. And lastly!! SINO TAYO is coming up on Saturday! New pics will be up after the event.
sweet packaging

New Pickups
Manhattan Portage J Bag that I kinda stole from Qyel. 15 bucks!
Nans bought me and Qyel matching bike gear, super tight padded shorts (balls savers) and super bright long-sleeve shirt. We are both wearing it tomorrow for Friday Night Crew haha
Got a Vittoria Randonneur Cross 32c wheel that i jumped on because it had a sweet 3m strip around it. But I got a little too excited and go the wrong tube size :/. Also picked up $10 soma clips off some CL dude. Lastly, best pickup ever, the Kool Stop Bead Jack!!! Makes mounting tires a fun little game, instead of impossible. Seriously.. if you get a bike you need one of these babies, only 16.99 on Ebay. Tried it out by putting on a Bontrager wheel on my old Deep V.
I got bored of my bike again and threw on some stickers Qyel gave me. Check out the pics below.
