Farewell Mr. Csuka R.I.P

Ernest Csuka, as many of you know, was the last of the great French constructeurs. He took over from the legendary Alex Singer in 1964 and continued to build what many, myself included, felt were the finest bikes ever produced. Ernest started with Singer in 1944 and introduced numerous innovations over the years.

Xmas and Blastful 2010!!!

120km in Singapore (T.O.S)

T.O.S or Tour of Singapore took place on 12 december 2009.  With PEONFX as one of the sponsors for the tour.

We have to cover 120km riding through the coastal roads around the island. It aint easy but i have to say that it is worth it. We started out with a total of 53 riders and we ended with a few short.

T.O.S

THE ROUTE:

Clarke Quay-East Coast Park-Changi Village-Pasir Ris-Old Tampines Rd-Hougang-Jalan Kayu-Seletar Dam-Admiralty-Marsiling-Woodlands-Kranji Dam-Lim Chu Kang-Jalan Bahar-BoonLay-West Coast-HarbourFront-CBD-Memorial Park

Riding anticlockwise around the island, we started off at clarke quay’s BK Bar where we had a meal from one of our sponsors.. Burger King. It was 4.30pm when a mass of fixed gear riders rode off proceeding to TR bike before we hit Changi coastal. The weather was in our favour that day, not the usual rainy december afternoon. It was nice and hot… and windy at the same time.

We made good time for TOS. clocking abt 10hours to complete the ride. The usual friday rides would sum up to about only 40km generally. It was a good route. It was nicely laid out. It was cleverly selected. It was an awesome ride!!

When we have great company along our journey.. distance didnt matter in the end.  To those KL Riders, was a pleasure to have u guys coming all the way down here for the ride.  T.O.S is definitely a good way for likeminded people to share anything under the sun and built new experiences together.

Thanks to all those boys who rode that night…. we’ll have more  rides together in the future, for sure. And big up to CAS and SUP for organizing it and giving the opportunity for PEONFX to be a part of it. High fives to those crew behind the wheels with the food and medical supplies.. and to those behind the camera too,  for catering to each and everyone of us. Lets do this again!!

HongKong New Velodrome

Hoooray!!!! The South China Post today(8 dec 09), Hong Kong will start constructing new velodrome begining of March 2010 and estimated completion in 2013. It will be built in accordance to international standard and its open for use to both elite athletes and hobbyists. The in-door Velordome will cost HK$1.06 billion. The new 250-metre long cycling track will be located in Tseung Kwan O district, Sai Kung, which can hold flexible stand facilities, 2000 permanent seat and 1000 portable seats. Also a multi-purpose track centre area which can be used for organising different activities.

I concluded … there will be more track frame to be available in HongKong in the future. Hell Yeah!

Wolfy on EASY

Xmas comes too early.. Richard the Wolfy received 3 boxes dropped from OZOTW. Got the Easy frame built up.. Lovin it .. its a fun bike..  enjoys every second riding that bike. its a good commuting bike. Wolfy use it to commute from home to work every single day and also on every single night,  prowling the street.

The EASY frame build like the Bruiser.. tough and slightly lighter then the TOUGH frame which is also produced by OZOTW. Using 28c fyxation would be a good choice but i would not go any thicker tires. There was a little problems trying to install the rear wheel… due to the thickness of tyre. So there are a couple of configuration between gear ratio and tyre thickness to make the rear wheel sit well by not touching the frame. Now  it is currently using 17-46 ratio and 28c for fit. But the distance between wheels and the frame aren’t that good.. soon will try 19-46 or 17-44. Richard has a liking for wheels to be close to the vertical tube. Those 43mm rims are sick.. Ok why do i need Velocity then.!? Ok.. it could be a notch heavier..but if I’m going for speed and light weight.. i would not even go for B43.

There is easy clearance for bar-spin and the bike pops up pretty easy too. Not much of Tricky Wolfy.. but sure let others eat his dust most of the time.. Soon will try the Tough frame .. BIG BIG ups to A-MIN the man behind OZOTW
