Next saturday, Isaac BurlyMan will be throwing a hill climb race from Downtown to Tramway.  Race starts at Raw Muzik, 2412 Central, at 2:30 pm.  The race is free, and there is some major bling up for grabs.  Come Race!

Afterparty at Fixed&Free coincides with the first night of Cinema Velo – free beer and bike flicks on the big screen – MASH SF and Macaframa double feature starts at 8pm.  Don’t miss…

I received this email from Grey at Fat Tire today:

to whom it may concern,
I am sending this email on behalf of my boss, Stevie McCambell of
Fat Tire Cycles.  Last night his 2006 Eddie Merckx Gara Pista was
stolen.  The bike is a 54.5, it is equipped with newer (2009) American
Classic 420 wheels, Shimano Dura-Ace track cranks w/47t Dura-Ace track ring, Easton TKO track bar, Easton EC90 stem, Thomson seatpost, Selle San Marco Aspide saddle, Sugino red anodized 16t splined cog, Izumi ”super toughness” track chain, and Shimano XTR SPD pedals.

I don’t have a picture of the bike, nor could I find a picture of the
2006 frame on the internet.  It’s a pretty “loud” bike, red, white,
blue, and I think a little gold mixed in, and I think it says “Eddy
Merckx” in about 16 different places, it may be a ltd edition frame
but I’m not sure.  Wheels are also pretty distinct in red and white
with bold “American Classic” lettering.

I was hoping we could get the theft and description some blog
exposure, and maybe the bike will be recovered.  Thanks for the help
guys!

Damn, this has got to be hottest track bike you could possibly steal in all of ABQ-its obviously gonna stick out like a sore thumb wherever it shows up so keep your eyes open. I also was unable to find an image online, until I cracked open the Cranks505 archives and discovered this:

All points bulletin on this one.  That’s like $5,000 worth of bike right there.

EDIT: Due to the pinche Super Bowl, the first night of Cinema Velo will be Saturday, Feb. 6, not Sunday.  Subsequent movie nights will be on 1st and 3rd Sundays.

Movie nights at Fixed&Free kick off in two weeks with a San Fran Double Feature – Mash and Macaframa in one night…

Beer will be provided (holla!).  Get out of the cold and check some great flicks, bring your homies!  This will be a regular event at the shop, every 1st and 3rd Sunday.  Don’t miss it!

I mean macaframa or mash?  Mash has gotta be an all time classic not topped by other fixed gear videos but maca is newer and maybe less viewed(?).  Fixed and Free Movie night needs to start with a bang.  Any suggestions for fixed videos or feature films? 

Don’t say American Flyers.  No amount of bike theminess can redeem the bad acting, writing, music or ridiculous bad guy.  Rae Dawn Chong was a babe!  Check her skills – two thumbs up there!
