 My Bicyclettes

A history of all the bikes I have owned and loved since the age of 10.

  • My first BMX: SE racing "PK RIPPER"

          

     Unfortunately I only have the frame and a picture of the Skyway's classic Tuff Wheels II that originally went on it. I performed my first bunny hop on this bike.

  •  GT custom

     I put this one together when I was about 16. Including the paint job, although the paint never really quite stuck to the primer. Again I only have the frame left although I did salvage some parts for my beater bike (see below).

 

  • Nakamura

       Probably my first real bike. I bought this bike in a local bike shop in 1997. It served me well for almost 10 years. I actually did some real downhill mountain biking on this one. Nothing special though, CrMo frame and Altus "groupo".

 

  • Diamondback Microlite

    Traded in my Nakamura plus some cash for this Hybrid/city bike. Upgraded the handlebars after they were stolen.

     

  • 80's Peugeot (PB-12)

My dad found this bike in the garbage somewhere in Montreal. Fixed it up, sewed some pannier bags with the help of my girlfriend and I was ready to roll! 360 km (Toronto-Kingston) in three days. And hopefully many more trips are still to come.

 

  • Haro Mirra 2001

 

    I bought this bike last summer on an impulse after wanting another one for so long. I rode it a couple of time but realized I was too old for this (not enough time) and sold a couple weeks later. (Thanks to my friend Olivier for the cool inlay images)

 

  • 80's Peugeot (PB-12) (fixed)

PIC TO COME

      If it ain't broken...fix it. My favorite commuter so far.

 

  • Diamondback Microlite v2

PIC TO COME

           Upgraded the handlebars once again and installed a rack and fenders to make it a trouring bike.

 

  • Black beater bike

       

A Flat black single speed machine. It gets me around in the winter. I installed the old crank and stem from my GT BMX.
