eroica 08

"L'EROICA" is a cyclotouristic rally held mainly on gravel roads, organized since 1997. It is a special "race" from every point of view. It proposes surroundings and scenes from the "heroic" times of cycling: dust or mud, no organized service, vintage refreshments, wonderful and demanding roads, great ability to adapt and to suffer...

thanks to gabriele (tave) for the pics, car, and everything and to marco from siena for the beautiful stories

gardener's bike

i'm working on a long bike for a wise guerrilla gardener. my arms got suddenly longer while working on it. thanks to landgrab for the pictures, more when it's finished..

singlespeed

it used to be my "citybike" for a short period. I'm leaving it in the rain, in order to rust tha frame a bit more (it's a nice colour actually), it's a good frame from the 80ies, new (orange) rims, 2 brakes... yes.. ONE LESS FIXIE!
please note the mudguard under the saddle, an invention of great rocco guarna

my logo!

luigeena

luigeena is a solid city bike, with big apples and a super brooks saddle. I love it, but it's rather a woman's bike, that's why i don't use it that often (frame: it's an Atala cruiser from the 60ies).

first chopper

this one's my first chopper, based on some hints by great AtomicZombie. Thank's to Rocco and Unabomber, great DIY masters.

rita

Formerly this was a "Rita", an italian folding bike of mid 70ies turned into a lowrider experiment...new colors (also on rims)...the saddel is a banana one bought in A'dam in TheChopperdome.
West coast and crips are calling ...
