Quick post....BIG NEWS!

David, who is becoming the clutch dude here in Shanghai, introduced me to some guys who pedal BMX bikes on Taobao (big online retailer). Apparently they are only an online retailer....we only got to go in because David knew someone.

Long story short, they can have the factory build up a sidehack for a good price! It'll be done in 3 weeks!

This is good news because prior to this, I was going to have to buy a bike here and then have a company in England fab and ship a sidehack. It was going to be a fortune!

It'll be flat black with white mag rims!

How many exclamation points can I use here!?!?

These pics are the guys who hooked up the sidehack frame....Sun is the guy in the cool hoodie, and is the man when it comes to anything BMX around here...they were super nice and said that it would likely be the only sidehack in Shanghai.

Sarah is gonna be so stoked!

I'll post pics of the bike as soon as I get it with a full write up on how it's going to work and maybe a video of me riding it down some steps.

I plan on bringing it home for sure- think LOTW mushroom hunting, camping, and city cruising....

Look out 1979!

PS-
October 19th is one week from today people! Tune in or be tuned up....or get tuned up....if you're not laughing, you're not paying attention.

  1. Are you going to accessorize Sarah out in a leather bomber hat, goggles and perhaps a thumb bike bell to warn pedestrians you two are venturing out how your latest adventure. AND SERIOUSLY WHY AREN'T YOU CONSIDERING GETTING IT PAINTED IN GREEN AND YELLOW.
