~≈M≈~

Your affinity is sweet also---those purple deep-V's sure are purty!
well if you do see me again--holla! lates and ride safe

the C-dale does belong to Ben Wong...You a friend of his im assumin'?
thanxz man, you too bro Likin' the pink Italian with the assortment of bars.

haha, yea I see Ben all the time in the sunset. thanks, haha i have way too many bars but they all have purposes!!

wanted to ride somewhere different besides the Bay Area---so it led us to Sacramento. Next on the list is going to be UC Davis. Oh and we wanted to check out the Bike Biz---bike shop in downtown since we order from them from time to time. We ended up rolling around Downtown Sac and ended up at the Capitol. Great place & + i used to live near Sac State and i have relatives there also.

yeah you sure get plenty of looks when your wheel is polished out like a mirror. you might be able to fix your hair for sure, but havent tried. will give it a shot.

thanxz, man... its the one bike ive kept and invested in for sure. love this bike

my neighbor actually polished it for me and i didnt have to take the wheel apart.
but there are ways to do it. it definitely will require a lot of elbow grease.

Makino. Yeah i ride Alameda with my cousin quiet a lot. Grew up there and now i live in SL. I see you know Ron & Kenny. Lovin that front Zipp. I remember this frame, im guessing if im correct---it came from NJS Export, very clean set up. yeah man hopefully when classes get out for summer ill call Ron and we can all hang out and ride there. Get everyone out.
peace out--ride safe

clean playa. I will have the other Vento built up soon to a Phil Wood Hub (high flange) within the month. I roll on MKS small clips with toshi doubles. The Bob Jackson Vigorelli is Ryan's new toy. ill throw you a link.

c u in a bit---peace

i didnt think of that---just because being in the Bay Area everyone seems to ride a killer bike everywhere you look. specially if you go to the meets you see every frame possible, even your favorite dream frame can turn up---from a Broakland Pipe Bomb to a Kalavinka. the BJ/CDale/Makino and Bomber Pro Arm are the regular when we ride (close friends), but you meet so many people that there are days that we just ride with whoever we meet. You just get blown by what people roll out with. Everyone is very cool and chill.

I had to polish the rim because i acquired it used and they used a front brake on it. i couldnt clean it up to the point where i was satisfied---so i had it polished. turned out for the best.

up i did live in Alameda but moved to the next city over--San Leandro. Funny thing i know who you are from my cousin Ryan. Never really met you but i've seen you ride around here and there--ever since your bike was pink. By the way Im Ariel. Yeah i was knee deep into cars growing and even became a Honda & Acura certified tech for over 8yrs.
If i see you around riding, ill be sure to say wsup and do the same. ride safe man

Thanxz-just constantly changin' it up w/ parts... Yeah Jdmprospec is my Ebay name also, Yeah I believe i bidded on both of your wheels (SHAMAL & VENTO ) a while back---but sadly didnt win---haha but all good i managed to get my hands on a pair of Vento 16HPW. lovin that pista w/ the arrospok---too bad its sold already

Whattup Sean P... Yeah i remember you man, come on now! Whats new man? Yeah I knew somehow he was related to you having that last name and living in alameda. Funny thing is when i saw his video, i was like man does that place look familiar... Small world for sure.
Oh the bike stand is just a regular stand you can get at any bike shop for about 15$.
I got mine at Alameda Bikes on Park. Hope all is good bro.

We should ride sometime bro...let me know when you got some time!

Whats up Ira! all good man, thanxz for takin it off my hands. Yeah thats the frame i told you about. Should be up and rollin within a week or so. Yeah we should all get together one day and just roll out. ill get a few friends together.

For sure, I'm down to ride any time.

Yup this is the new frame...Fresh out the box about a day ago. Just waiting for more parts to arrive.

is that "hiroaki" on down the seat tube?

Thanxz. Yeah the paint job is amazing in person and near mint for the price i paid for.
Yeah it says "Hiroaki" on the down tube. Its suppose to be the Name of the Keirin rider.
