Incomplete

Monday, June 14th, 2010

There never seems to be enough time to finish everything that I start. I think it’s just meant to be that way, like some cruel joke. This is just one of many works that sit on one of my hard drives, just waiting to be considered and completed. Maybe one day I’ll finish with whatever I was doing, but for now I’ll just think about it instead.

Goodies galore

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Melissa and I went home last weekend to do some wedding preparations. While we were there I paid a visit to Dunkelvolk, my new clothing sponsor. The company has roots in the Peruvian surf & skate industry, dating back to 1996 to be exact. The U.S. Division is located in Ft. Lauderdale so I get to drop in on them whenever I go home… though I try not to bug them too much haha. Their 2010 line has dropped and I was able to snag some goodies. Thanks Dunkelvolk, I’m pumped on the new gear!

Thanks Dunkelvolk!

You like that Dolphins sticker or what?! Their website is undergoing some maintenance so for now check their 2010 Line here.

Whenever we go home it feels like we’re on the go non-stop, and this three-day visit was far beyond the norm. We were in zombie mode by the time we pulled up to our house Monday night, but see this on our doorstep perked me up real fast…

My CVT finally made it here!

Ladies and gentlemen, my CVT has arrived! I pre-ordered this baby from Bullet Lines and was highly anticipating it’s arrival. Although it would have been nicer if it came with some sort of paperwork, I’m not going to complain because the my winch project is in motion again! No pun intended.

Melissa's bike

Introducing Melissa’s new (sorta) bike: a ~’72 Raleigh Sports woman’s bike with a 3-speed rear hub. I surprised her with it last week and she instantly fell in love.  The original paint and decals/emblems still look but could use a little polishing. About 98% of the parts are original with the only two exceptions being the seat and the front tire. The parts I’ve picked up so far this project are: a new chain, tube, rim tape, brake cable, and a cute hamburger bell. A fresh set of 1 3/8″ white walls are in the mail and I’m hoping to order a more period-spec saddle soon… maybe a Brooks?

Keep an eye on my blog for more updates on this project, along with my other projects that I’ve yet to really touch on.
