what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

Early this morning    after midnight the wheels were stolen off Blu’s bike. It was locked to the rail outside the Olympic Law Group. This sucks in more ways than one. But it really sucks to work a nine hour shift and then walk all the way home with a wheel-less bike over one shoulder.  

I wish I could see the fucking loser’s face when he got back to his apartment and realized he just stole a pair of OE cheapass Chinese knockoffs with poorly machined brake tracks.  These are not the Velocity Deep Vs he was hoping for. These are not the sealed bearing high flange hubs he’d seen in a magazine and not the double butted black spokes and green anodized alloy nipples he thought he saw in the dark parking lot.  Karma comes around.   I hope he threads a fixed cog on and strips the shit out of the soft threads on the cheaply made hub and I hope he bruises his ego and eats shit when he’s skidding up to the bike rack in front of Bauhaus and I hope the thief will be doomed to continuous slow leaks and broken valve extenders rattling within the monumental rotating mass of the deep section rims.

Thankfully these cost 30 times less than a set of Mad Fiber wheels.

(cheap Chinese fake deep Vs) x 30 = Mad Fiber

LAME.

the fucking fuckbag also stole the toptube pad, which to the untrained eye was a plain black one. But those in the know know it was an old school DANK one with the beautiful wabi-sabi patina that only comes with years and years and miles and miles of messenger work. I'll know it when I see it.

DOUBLE LAME.

I kinda have this feeling these wheels and toptube pad will be rolling round town within 5 miles of Cal Anderson. If you see him, let the air out the tires and then hold him down when he comes out of the coffee shop, give me a chirp, I'll be there in about 45 minutes. Don't take the law into your own hands... but you know there was a time when you could chirp Chris Jewell and he'd recover 24's stolen bike in 20 minutes or less. Or recover Brad Lewis's Fat Chance from a guy riding clipless pedals in work boots. Or Tyler Goldsmith buying Steve Dewitt's bike for $20.
