Who and What

Hi All,
Welcome to this blog.
I'm autodidacted bicycle enthutist and mechanic, waiting for the right moment to be fully dedicated to the dream of LBS (local bicycle store).

I can do almost everything with your old bike to make it shine and roll.

I can get you everything for your new bike project build.

The only thing I can not do, is to make you ride.


Anyway, fell free to comment, contact and ask questions.

With smile,
Garazhik

Red fixie II (Peugeot frame)

Never give a fixie to extreme guys. You will create a monster and the monster will eat you. Red fixie was created for Kirill that is already in climbing and slacklining. So fixing was just a natural extension of every day activity. He is nuts and its getting worth. Soon he will do Metula to Eilat on fixie and call me to say that his rims are full of skid patches.

BTW, the photographs are made by him as well.





Some skids:



Finally the crazy guy and his horse:


Enjoy the ride.

ХВЗ Старт Шоссe



Long wait release for real nostalgic Soviet frame. This is ХВЗ Старт Шоссe, was considered a high end road bike in USSR. I found it after almost year of searching in some old store in extremely bad shape. Then I was waiting for right person that can appreciate the nostalgic value and will have the full perspective of the restoration process.
And found such a guy right under my nose. My closest friend decided to go fixie and being an archeologist requested something odd and valuable. Few arguments on the colors and vuala here comes the beautiful result.
