Bike + Bad Ankle = Happy Medium

Fixed gear is actually pretty cool, drawn to the aesthetic from some of the bikes I've noticed over the years, it was natural for me to want to get involved and start riding too. Approaching my first year of consistent riding, I'm now playing with the idea of picking up a new frameset. With my left ankle STILL jacked up from years of skating, it's probably a good idea to continue biking and keep the adrenaline juices flowing. Below is an image of one I'd like to work towards maybe getting,  looks dope.

Today's prayful thinking

Today was a Monday, went to work with little money. Regardless, I made it through, ate little and focused on my tasks. Creative thoughts entered my mind periodically and so the urge to release it is spilling out on this keyboard as I type. Ideas of putting my FC back together and all the little details going in to the build are beginning to get stronger. Worked a little overtime, got home, removed the car cover from the FC and sat in it. I even prayed a little while in there...silently. It's the passion and the WANT to explore the possiblilities with something I've built. You'd have to really love things like this to understand. In ending, I know the answers will come and I'll finally live the dream with this project of mine. Below is an image I found which ties in a little to the intentions I have with the FC, it's all in the details : )

Hope

Amazing, there exists within this car culture the select few who actually get it. Stock Metal endorsed, I spotted this FC and had to post it. Doesn't look bad at all with some edge and a little roughness. Ride height is cool, front lip installed, not bad. There is hope.

Passport

Had an enjoyable day on this very sunny and amazing Sunday. Went to church earlier and decided that since my boy Vinnie was occupied, I'd go and take a long over due bike ride with Jeff. We ate at Togo's and headed out on the summers afternoon adventure down the chandler bike path. Ended up stopping at Balboa park and chillin. The point of this post is that while we caught up and talked about life and our plans, the impact of our conversation was so motivating and refreshing that the creative juices began flowing again. We discussed traveling and taking some of our efforts overseas and chilling in Japan. I love cars and drifting motorsports (namely Mazdas) and Jeff liked the idea of international marketing and a dabble in music production out there. So it's final, I hold off on that dang new clutch and flywheel purchase (desperately needed) and FINALLY get my passport. The idea of traveling to Japan and having an opportunity out there can keep me patiently waiting on buying some car parts for now.
