Summer: Time for Lo Pros [bikes]

Not really.. most of the tricked up bikes come out during the summer anyways. all kinds like: cruisers, bmx, roads, tandems, lo pros, track bikes and a lot of odd looking bikes that doesnt work like a bike! Some, where you lay down and your hands actually controls the rear wheel and we pedal the front wheel.. God, I forgot what the name was, but it does look more disastrous than it sounds.

Back to topic: Lo Pro! YES.. friend decided to have a lo pro geometry for his bike, and what is even better, he decided to build it up with me! So, here's the frame: Handbuilt and brazed by Orbit with Reynolds 531 tubing. SHWING!

I think, ill give that another SHWING!

The plan is, paint the frame metallic purple kinda like the Motorola Razr's colour, i dont know which type exactly but he showed me a picture of that particular phone with a lovely glowing metallic purple. Armourtex in hackney must have that colour in their catalogue, i reckon. So we'll give that a try. Then, a 650c fork is gonna be hooked up on so that a 650c wheel(obviously) could fit there. And due to the never ending want of less spokes,, Spinergy with their 8 spoked carbon wheel didnt do the justice for him. But an Aerospoke definitely will :D. Furthermore, silver HALO rims are coming into the frame as well as some sweet Nitto Bullhorns. Ok, time to close our eyes and imagine what it'll look like.. imagine.. oh, imagine.. might as well turn on John Lennon singing imagine if youd like
