2 wheel obsession

I have been riding my bike a lot these days and am feeling that an upgrade is due. I know there is a trend toward the fixed gear but, this bicycle from Kronan is my new must have. Classic in every aspect of the word, it’s like a sherman tank.

what I didn’t get for x-mas, Carbon Black Special edtion, Aston Martin.

If I could this would be it, a limited edition carbon black Austin Martin.

“Featuring bespoke Carbon Black metallic paint especially formulated with a subtle metallic twist to create a deep rich patina…”

Do you really need to know more. This would also fit well in my black list.

Washington’s City Paper reports:

“Early last October, Jeff ­Nelson—co-founder of Dischord Records and drummer for Minor Threat, the mother of all hardcore bands—placed an autographed test pressing of his old band’s 1983 EP, Out of Step, up for sale on eBay. It was part of a long-term effort to whittle his punk rock archives, which Nelson describes as both “way too big” and “insane.””

Tuff City Blunt Wraps

tuff-city-blunt-wraps

It took me a little while to wrap my head around these.  At first I thought the wraps had the trains and graff printed on them.  Then, I slowly came to realize that it was just the packaging that was custom.  Maybe I’ll have to head up to the Bronx and make sure though.  Puff Tuff.
