The Revival Premiere, New York City from Skitch Clothing on Vimeo.

this is my mid 80s CIOCC..
it had a horrible, terrible, ugly paint job on it when i bought the frame and fork. it was sparkle red and black with "extreme designs" decal on it.. sorry no pictures :/ but i took some stripper to it and got rid of the 80s nasty paint and painted it black and beautiful (everyone has to have a black bike) its also a dedication to modern life is war's song D.E.A.D. R.A.M.O.N.E.S its got black vinyl with decals of that song title. its set up with a zipp disk rear and an old zipp 440 front. campy pista cranks old cinelli bar and stem turbo saddle and black toshi double straps. pretty fun to ride and fairly light about 18 lbs, everyone should ride a disk in the street haha

bike bummer mondays:(

bike bummer mondays are all about bad shit that happened through the past week..
for example today we had the first dead bird.. (broken cardinal) turnsout when your seatpost is smaller than a 27.2 seat tube and you clamp it down anyway you break your frame.. cough cough elgin throat clear.. yea and when you do nose bonks on wall for hours at a time you break your track fork... and then theres when your pedal hates your cranks and strips out and wollers out your drive side.. BIKE BUMMERS!! all lead to better greater things new bikes new cranks new forks and new thing for later bike bummer mondays.. 700cmx kills track parts. "basicly" says rendog.


hard to see but there are barricades set up as a wall ride

show up thursdays in bloomington

BRA/Rad Skids Sprints

Head over to the BRA blog to get a better update on the sprints and points awarded from last night! http://brabloomington.blogspot.com/

RAD'S KIDS

RADSKIDS is a group of indianapolis cycleist who ride bikes for fun nothing super serious but at the same time bikes are a huge part of their lives. everyone involed rides nearly everyday either for work or entertainment. RADSKIDS started out as 3 friends rididn track bikes in downtown indy and being the few first kids riding downtown we started soing alleycats sbc nobody else was doing them so myself (shawn) and a since retired radskid founder(haha) planned an alleycat we flyered for a week in advance putting flyers everywhere all over campus and downtown at every bike rack we could find.. race day came and we had a total of 7 riders including a now good friend Burd Phillips and a handful of guys who would later become good friends. the winner of indy's first ever alleycat was a very unassuming Mike Runge. honestly when i first saw him i giggled to myslelf over his clipless shoes on a schwinn conversion and a tiiiiny gear. but he proved to be extremely fast! later i found out he was an ex chicago messenger! haha! shit i felt like an ass. i wish he hungout more today. so if you see a spokecard made of marvel comics they were at the first ever indy alleycat. radskids is full of great friendships, fast riders and impressive trick riders.

Rad Skids Blog Is Up!!!!
