Dear Landlords:

as you’ve no doubt noted, the MEBG logo is highly sweet. thanks to our bro Blaindy
of course, the final selection of “4 elements” was only born out of much heated email and RL PBR-fueled discussion. some ask why we included fire, and no, it’s not just because of epic bonfires at the tracks every other thursday last summer.. fire is like totally useful
but those were...

I pulled these off of Classic and Vintage a few years ago. The owner really really hoped it was a 531 Ted Williams. You be the judge.
Now that’s my kind of 10 speed!

Fortunately, our holy solstice coincides with the modern traditions of over-shopping, over-drinking, and showing up late for work.
With gifts for all, McGoon goes out on a [thread-strung-to-a] limb to get the sunrisers.
ProTip: Current path conditions warrant the use of official ‘crampons pour boots de surf’. Word in the lot is that La Cordée just got a fresh shipment. Get in...

From the Archives 24: Univega Day

Univega was one of the best known and most widely sold bike brands of the 70’s and 80’s boom, and with good reason. Not only were they stellar examples of Japanese, and later Tiawanese craftsmanship (read currency values), but they were exceptionally well designed and...
unintentional tumblr art 2011
stumbled upon this most dagged-out image when looking for some signs of winter anywhere on the eastern seabord. i think we can categorize this as “old-dude-messes-up-digital-photography-with-album-cover-(or at least tumblr)-worthy-results”. imagine all the weird babez this guy could get at a wednesday night triennale

My mom was the first kid in her hood to have a 10-speed. It was a yellow Columbia just like this one. I asked her if she wanted to keep it, so she took it for a ride. When she got back, mom said “sell the damn thing.”
