Switching up ..

Yesterday was errands day ! First up and very importantly we had to go and get a frozen banana. I am obsessed with Arrested Development and hired the studio based on its proximity to the famous Balboa Island Banana Stand. I got a chocolate /peanut combo . Pretty nice considering if i am honest i like neither chocolate nor bananas.


Afterwards we took a pedal so i could change up my back cog to be cranking it on a more LA appropriate gearing for them long and straight roads! We hit up this awesome wee bike/used camera store shop in Costa Mesa . Got to catch some of the Bootleg Sessions 3 in the shop which was cool as im missing the London premiere at 14. We also saw an $8000 golden Cinelli frame in the shop. Nice if a little excessive but i guess thats what the OC is all about!

After that we took a ride to Huntington Beach where it was freezing. I made a pretty sweet towel cape to keep myself warm. We then went to Blackies and drank some gin and tonics and forgot drinks in the USA are 1000 times stronger than at home.

Going to take the bikes to LA tomorrow and hit the vintage stores in Melrose before catching up with my good friends Paul and Rosie in Silverlake. I expect to see a lot of anodised bits and pieces over there, we may even play 'spot the rolled trouser leg".
