: Scraperbikes

By: g | No Comments » |

I’ll admit I have remiss in updates of late. It’s partly because I am really trying to find interesting/entertaining stuff to post here rather than the next latest thing from one of the ‘big S’s', and partly because in dealing with said stuff everyday, you realise it’s just not really that interesting; in some respects you learn that some of it is just plain daft.

This though IS interesting. As we all are victims to wanting a cool bike, which usually involves spending lots of money (once equated to $100/gram for components and $1000/0.5lbs for a frame) we loose sight of just why bikes are cool. I’m not talking about those twats on pimped out fixies in Sydney in skinny jeans who can’t ride up, and sometimes down, a hill, who think they are cool. I am talking base line cool, like when you were a kid and a bike gave you freedom and doing up your bike was not about the latest bit of machined cool for $500 but about some paint or other basic thing you could afford at the time.

This vid is about that. Watch it and reflect a little, it’s worth the effort.
