The Bastard Lives *EDIT
If you can't laugh at yourself...
Looking back makes me laugh. Especially when I see 'The Bastard' back on the road beneath a new master.
People of Melburn might not have known couriers, but they knew 'The Bastard'.
A Repco olympic time-trial bink, decorated in hot pink. The original Bastard was even a fixed-wheel.
I suppose you could call my bike of the day The Mongrel.
A 70's Holdsworth 57 x 54cm track frame with a road fork, BRAKES, SPD downhill pedals, mismatched tyres and tape, bullhorns, everything that makes me cringe these days.
Yep, you've gotta laugh at yourself first.
My first alleycat in Melburn I hopped on to The Bastards wheel at the start thinking it HAS to be fast, but I was wrong, and between getting lost in North Melbourne, still managed a 3rd watching Pip just edge out Kyme for the prized set of wheels for first.
I can remember being ridiculed for riding a fixed-wheel back then, and even more so the 'sans freins' variety.
The last laugh is seeing every other bike shop displaying a track bike in the window these days because they're apparently hotter than Paris.
That's hot.
hahahaha.

You guy's are just big ugly Bower birds, (anything shiny — usually strikingly blue in hue — The bird spends hours carefully sorting and arranging his collection, with each object in a specific place). I am sorry to tell you but when they are in a suitcase they are just hunks of shiny metal. When it comes to bicycles, like many things in life, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts! |

Those are awesome.. I don't think they need to be on bikes to be appreciated, more so i think they belong in the cases (With a second, less immaculate set for riding on) reminding you of the engineering beauty, you as the rider hardly ever get to see. They must be worth bit..?
Pasta for me! |

OOOh yeah-gimme that pasta,and yes Jacko,they are worth quite a bit-precisely because so few people had the self discipline to leave them in the box and not build them onto bikes and ride them....... |
