Subic ride

My friend Dale (A.K.A. Senorito) and I brought our rides to Subic in time for the Advertising Congress. 1. Waiting for our turn on the track. 2. My friend Maui & Jason invited us to Anvaya Cove resort for their 1st year Anniversary as a Married couple. 3. My bitch 4. Senorito's bitch 5. We tried to ask permission to shoot our bikes near the ship but the security didn't allow us, I guess the ship is top secret, they don't want anybody to see it. 6. Stop over for a lemonade break. 7. Our Subic mascot, Gary's daughter Zooey.

One happy customer

My office mate finished his fixed gear ride last week check out the Aerospoke wheels. Fortunately for him he didn't have to go through the customs. Now I have a bike buddy to ride within the Makati area.

That's the spirit

Maker of Fine Bikes

I found this site while I was bouncing from one link to another, their based in Marikina City and specializes on custom built bikes, I really like their philosophy in terms of bike building. Maybe these guys could help you on your a fixed gear build.

From Christopher

So while I was updating my blog Chris sent this to me:

Hi Jeck,
I bought the bike from the gentleman who owns this site:
http://www.facebook.com/l/;newoldbikes.multiply.com/
He lives in paranaque and he sold me the bike for 8,500 pesos. That's about all the info i have :) hope it helps.

(got the photo from the multiply site, oh and he names his bikes, this one is called "sarge")

Inspirational

His Name is Christopher Gannon he emailed we awhile back because he was interested in building a fixed gear bike, well it looks like he's more resourceful than me because he got this from a local builder using affordable parts. Maybe this build would serve as an inspiration and a challenge to you guys who wants to build their own fixed gear without spending too much. I've also asked Christopher if he could share some information on how did he acquire his bike so hopefully I can share that to you guys.

QUIAPO RULES!

I went to Quiapo to help my office mate find a decent bike which would suit his budget. It's a nice place to buy cheap and second hand parts plus they have a variety of complete bikes to choose from (It's kinda overwhelming actually). He wanted something really simple so he bought this Japanese style bicycle, and was able to get a discount from the shop.
