val verdon - val de l'ubaye 8/'09

Small report from 5 days "val verdon val de l'ubaye" cycling tour:

i had a great time with friend jimmy, and my new "lino zini" framed bike.
it's cool to ride a street bike on tour. some difficulties uphill.. but who cares if outside there are 40 degrees and your bottom aches...provence - alpes - cote d'azur are beautiful!!!!
all were friendly and the villages are somehow still "villages" !

so happy not to have squandered my money in italy this summer. france will see me soon again...

here's the route

spicciola

it's called like that don't know (yet) why, but those simple, elegant, bikes have the name SPICCIOLA in italian. it's not finished yet, but i like the colors. most of the beauty is given by the brooks saddle, obviously! she looks like a super expensive cutie, but actually the only expensive part was the saddle, the rest are pieces i got from people around, ah no.. the rims where 15 euro for both (they're new); well i bought them way before fixie fashion came out... that's the reason maybe
thanks to andrea favini for the pix

cinema and bikes part I

this trailer is around quite a bit, but everytime I watch it, I feel it's simply GREAT! listen carefully to the doublebass music in the middle... evokes a lot of good vibes!.. I'm really looking forward to see it!

3D folding bike - mission accomplished

I finally brought the bike to a new look, and the astonishing pinstriping of explo75 gave her the final touch!! i'm quite happy with it, the bmx tires and the shortened handle bar make it less granny and more "sporty, sexy" looking! here are some pix:


by the way, this is what the rims looked like, before visiting the beautyfarm:

bicycles in animation part II

I found this other award winning anim by chance! it's very nice even if it's quite long an repetitive, but i guess it's part of the short ;) still by chance it happens that I'm in danmark at the moment so... well that fits! click on the image and have fun..

cycling beer

finally my homebrewing beer kit brought my little babies to life!
here's the label. it's a cycling monk....

the idea of homebrewing, makes me really feel good, and i would like to improve more & more :)
2 guys in my hometown started their adventure 12 years ago and believe me, their beer is awesome!!... let's make a toast to homebrewing!!
thanks to davide "ciccio" for lending me his kit!
