Since this is my blog, time to write about some of the things that interest me and what I work on other than what we sell. Lets start off with my bikes:
My 2002 Titus Switchblade. Bought it new when I rode lots of cross-country and still have it all these years later. It is a little differently setup now.
24 Porn King 3. My dirt jump/street hardtail sitting in my office. Again, it looks a little different now.
Canfield Formula 1. Can't find any pics of just the bike, but here is me riding it downhill on 007 at Seven Springs. Can't get much better of a downhill ride than this.
2009 Motobecane Jury fixie, also known as The Lung Buster because, well, I punctured a lung riding it (on the day this pic was taken). Five days in the hospital was no fun.
My 2005 Titus SuperMoto which was my DH bike before the Canfield. Doesn't get ridden much anymore, but is still kickin. Again on 007 at Seven Springs.
A Trek ZX 2100. This one isn't mine, but is similar - I'll update when I get photos. One of the first commercially available carbon and steel roadbikes. I got a killa deal on mine.
Thats it for my current stable of bikes - 6 in all. Commuting is generally split between the Trek and the Motobecane depending on which is running at the time. I have never had all 6 bikes ridable at the same time - too little time and money. I do although commute year round in Ohio, which means lots of rain and snow.
When we started Blaq, we initially were going to be a frame and component manufacturer. To that end, I designed a few frames in Solidworks. Here is the Adrenochrome:
Designed for 24" or 26" wheels. Never built - maybe someday.
Downhill race bike prototype. We actually started building one of these in carbon fiber, but have been too busy with bags to devote the kind of time a project like this takes to finish. The design was finalized in 2007 before you saw these kinds of shapes in frames. Still would be sick to finish sometime even if just for the thrill.
And a sweet pic of me riding.
Well, thats about what I have time for today. Keep your eyes peeled for the next update.
