    What's happenin'? My name is Brian, I'm a college student here in Portland... mad love for the Northwest. I grew up in LA (gasp), and ride with Wolfpack Hustle when I'm home. I'm a total bike nerd, and spend wayyyy too much time on Sheldon's website (R.I.P.). I ride a 1981 Miyata One-Ten fixed-gear conversion, and a 1992 Nishiki Moldulus 12spd as my geared roadie. They're not pretty, but they're mechanically sound, and I love 'em both. I'm stoked to get into the pdx bike scene and meet some chronic chillers. Peace!

    Hey everyone, I'm Crossett. I hail from San Francisco but I'm up here going to school. Some old pics of me and my bikes, some parts have been changed and the Uno Pista is currently out of commission awaiting a new crank set and rear wheel thanks to a run-in with a reckless driver.

    Cyclocross: Campy Kona soon to be sporting Dura Ace

    Road: Orbea Lobular Carbon w/Dura Ace

    The Bob Jackson is my buddies, the yellow track to the left is a Uno Pista, It is much less fixed gear freestyler style now.

    Nothing big on the horizon currently, but april 19th should be a good show, with Dance Card, Don Hellions (my roommates new band, which is really, really good) and Sprinkles. I missed sprinkles last time they played here, but everyone tells me Sprinkles is really amazing. we're at 422 NE Dekum.

    Hey. I'm Nate. I am older than most of you too, 31. Been riding forever. Used to live in Portland from 2003-2006. The wife and I are finally moving back this June. Super stoked.
    Just wanted to see what the PDX bike people are up too these days. Looks like a whole new crop of kids since I lived there but that's cool. I'm definitely going to be checking in here for bike events and alleycat type stuff. Can't fucking wait to be back.

    Word!

    Hey everyone, I'm Brian. I am 28 and new to the fixed gear thing. I have a single speed right now that I am looking to convert to fixed. I lived here in 06' for a bit and just moved back 5 months ago. I ride as much as possible, mostly just checking out the city and running errands. Mostly I ride alone, cause my girlfriend works alot, so it will be fun to have some peeps to ride with.

    Hello, I'm Monica. I'm 32, married to Brian (itsdirtybecauseiride),and the mother of his 5 children. I ride a Langster when I can. It's not as often as I would like but with this many kids, I'm happy to be out there at all. I work in a deli and love my family, knitting (and crafting in general), food, and making vegan cupcakes.

    Any other mothers out there?

    I never did post a pic of my beater.

    It's not pretty, but its easy as hell to fix.
    My bars are still unwrapped since I haven't had time to go to CityBikes yet.
    AND the saddle, although not much on the eyes, is quite possibly my favorite yet. It's a WTB mountain saddle I found for $4.

    oh and p.s. - if something looks out of place on my bike, it's because i broke the thing that didn't look out of place.

    Yea I guess it was kind of a rare find.
    You can also consider making one out of cardboard. So long as you pad it right, it should be fine.

    dude! mission complete...thanks for the help bro!

    alex: I know it's a Raleigh but been told a few different things about what model. One guy told me "Super Ace" but I've never even heard of that model. Maybe he meant Super Course. When I got it was crazy modified and had already been painted and was missing the badge. Alls I know is that it rides really well.

    bicyCOLE: Glad I could help, although I think you did most of the work. Did the trip already happen?

    Yes, that zipp 3000 or zipp eliminator (don't know which model it is but they are identical in construction) is on the wrong way.

    First off, I'm no hater of risers or flat bars.

    Second, I love how one of two dudes rocking drops at this race is the one pulling ahead, dropped in position.

    My name is Darrin. I used to live in Portland for 18 or so years. Moved to Socal for school, graduated with my BA and currently live in North Hollywood/Studio City, CA (Los Angeles basically). I work in LA and abroad working in the Film Industry, in camera department or lighting department, I am also an aspiring Cinematographer (www.darrinpnim.com). I shoot photos every once in a while (http://www.flickr.com/photos/22553557@N06/) but nothing professional since I focus a lot of my time on film. I was back home for a little while and rode Portland Massacre, I was one of the three that crashed on the first ghettodrome race... I ride with lafixed down here, including Yosef (aka Joey aka rapideyemovement) who posted earlier plus some other fools who are from LA that are on here. I like to come home as much as I can but work keeps me planted. I love Portland. It's nice seeing things finally getting organized up there. BTW, I ride this:

    I'm on the left.

    My name is Phil. I'm a fair weather rider, I am slow, I ride with a brake, and I have no endurance. I don't mind, 'cause I just ride for fun.
    I'm 18 and am a senior at a little arts school in downtown. I live out in the suburbs and it sucks. I'll be moving either to NYC or DC this summer.

    I'll get a picture of my bike up eventually.

    My name is Travis. 26 years of age. Born and raised in NE Portland. Moved to Southern California years ago. Probably going to be moving back soon, with a guy from down here who also rides fix'd. Glad to see that there is going to be some rides to go on and meet some people.
    I have a shitty SE bike(same company that made the PK ripper.), but she's happy, and gets ridden daily.

    mine is the one closest to the camera.... sorry, I 'm lazy and don't feel like taking a close up of my bike, that I will later see in a "not hot" thread.

    Heh, redoing my intro.

    Hi I'm Kevin. I was born and raised in Portland. I currently attend at a Middle school with several cyclist teachers and my good cycle buddy Lance. So I ride on a 49cm Fuji track to and from school, then usually I'll just screw around in my neighbourhood and park. And only once have I been on the Springwater Trail. Bike pictures later.

    Thats awesome. My parents spent months trying to teach me to ride without training wheels but I could never do it. Then one day a neighbor kid figured it out and I was like "oh hell no" and jumped on my bike and rode over there just to show her I could do it too. I still have the (fixed) trike my parents got me when I was four in my garage. I still use it as a scooter haha
