HOLA SIERRA!!

     Say Hi to a new addition to our cycling family SIERRA, been having her for about 2 months now, been riding with her every Saturday and Sunday ever since, even refer it as "her" as if it is my new girl best friend  :). I had been browsing for some various type before I decide to buy SIERRA, but it was a real full of struggle to own it. 

     Saw her at 2 bike shop, the time I decide to buy her me and Tegar gone to the 1st shop near to my house, the SIERRA was available but had to be assembled first, after a long wait comes the final part attaching the basket, BUT THEN they brought out a different wire basket for different bike!, I complained instantly but they say it was the only basket left at the shop.  We got out the shop with a big disappointment , after a long wait we had to cancel the purchase, I wanted the original wire basket, the wire basket shape was one of the reason I want her.  But  hey! there are still the 2nd shop.

    Then we rushed to the 2nd store. So cant wait to take it home we actually run in excitement, the time we got there it was placed down from the display, search the place everywhere and Oh No! there were a piece of paper attached to it, looked at it closer, it's a purchase print! THE SIERRA was SOLD!! (T__T)..so heartbroken that day.

    The Next day I told the story to a friend of mine, turn out that he has a friend who own a bike shop (Big thanks to Samsul), then he managed to get me a SIERRA \(^__^)/ yeaaay..and the best thing is I got it with less price cheaper than any of the store before..haha..still some luck after all.  So that's a little story about my SIERRA, lesson learned that GOOD THINGS DO COMES TO THOSE WHO WAITS WITH PATIENCE.

 

Waiting for SIERRA to be assembled, can you see my So Happy Face..haha

Tegar took the first honour to ride SIERRA

Hope to do some face lift to SIERAA gonna dress her up fine..haha..stay tune for more of our bicycling diary :)

BICYCLE L♥VER

Happy February Everybody! I'm being a late bloomer so i'm gonna start 2011 in February, so hopefully more post in February (^_^).  So how was your weekend ?  I spend my last weekend in January strolling around the city with Tegar hunting for parts to build our Fixed Gear Bike, and was successfully done in just 2 days, our hard work strolling around the city was really paid off, we got some good bargain for the parts and  i got a quote from Tegar " Finished two bikes in two days requires skill to choose the shop and parts, browse hard, and as bonus add, a free tanned skin"..haha..really had fun, and here some picture of our bikes.

 

There you go!, our Fixed Gear Bike what do you think ? we both have the same fondness in bike , we would even imagine having a house with large garage filled with all kinds of bicycle not cars, and after our 'fixed Gear Bike Project, we are considering in building some Cruiser or  Dutch, hope to realize it soon.  Here are some very beautiful picture featured various kinds of Bicycle, hope after seeing this we could share the same fondness in Bicycle.

I am so excited to share this on the blog,  This logo is made by Tegar, the Boyfriend :)) ( he's the one got me in to this craft thing :) ), it was made as simple as it can, with warm earthy color, to gave the feel of some old traditional homecraft, more like some craft your grandma would make, but this one with some more artsy touch off course. 

Hope you like the New Logo, and I also post some new illustration from Tegar to feast your eyes, he's into OWL these day, so here it is, hope u like it.
