It’s about bikes…so,

Old School Freestyle.com So this used to be a website I updated and ran for about two years or so…back in 2002. It’s supposed to be a magazine flip kinda page browsing program…oh, and it’s about bmx stuff. I used to think it was fun, now I just think it’s funny. Enjoy. RobQ

Typical of me

So I stripped down the white Bianchi Strada LX that is Christines road bike and threw on my fixed wheel and a set of 90′s Sugino Impel cranks ( crap ) with a dope 64mm BCD and a 34 Tooth Sugino ring and my KKT bmx pedals and a 13 tooth rear cog and went [...]

Ok, you can stop now…

Seriously, you can stop now… but if you just can’t take it and must see more. StupidTreadmillBike.com they even have sweet vids of people riding this down stairs….and over jumps…and through the woods…and trying to carry it onto a bus…totally worth the watch. Ah, sweet cycling humor.

More 29er crap

So I finally got the Redline out and my bunnyhop measuring thingy to see how high I could get that tank. Check it out. This is over the 19 inch measurement on the posts…I think with some refinement to my technique I could clear quite a bit more. The bike isn’t even tucked up into [...]

FIX pix

So here’s the first installment of what will hopefully be a weekly or bi-weekly recurring post of some pictures from Bicycle FIX in frederick, merryland. This weeks post is some shots of bikes that customers have in there to be unbrokened, or otherwise fixed. I’ll try to also include photos of strange occurances, sketchy passerbyers, [...]

Bridgestone NB-26

Here’s the latest bike to join our many in the shed. A totally FREE conversion of a classic 93′ Bridgestone NB-26 that a customer donated to me. I gave it a shakedown cruise to/from the shop yesterday and it rolled so nice. It’ll be a round town and towpath bike which will accumulate accessories eventually. [...]

29er: Hindrance or Multi-tool?

So I’ve been riding the Redline Monocog 29er alot recently up in the watershed and finally got some pics to document the stuff I put this bike through…there is much more, it just hasn’t been captured on film yet. The bottom line is, I haven’t found a weakness in either it’s ability or structural integrity [...]

Punishment or Preclusion?

So I’ve been having these thoughts recently that I’d like to share. I would also like to put forth a proposition to the readers here. Since every Tour is marked with positive results for blood enhancing, I suggest that these caught individuals be punished by the following way. Give them two choices. 1.) Never enter [...]

Go-Go Protest band…?

So I was reading through The Gaurdian tonight…yes, I read…and found this pic of our friend Cory who apparently has joined a Go-Go band ( check the chick with the whistle! ) and is playing at radar station protests now. Hate to say it, but I kinda saw this one coming… I bet they do [...]

Wrappin’ Rob

So I decided to switch to some Cinelli cork tape recently and put my stock Bianchi tape on Christines newest ride, the Strada LX. This mostly came about because I thought the tan or natural color tape would look dope and bring me one step closer to being….well, dope. So I figured since I was [...]
