Yeah… um kiddies… when we tell you shit’s broke, don’t throw a tantrum, give us the hairy eyeball, and storm out…

Remember, we at BByB are all seeing and all knowing. We’re just trying to be nice and spare you from catastrophic failure while riding down the Manhattan bridge at 100 mph.

Be safe boys and girls. And don’t ride broke shit. If you don’t believe us, take this guys word for it.

You see what happens when you put the big boss in front of a work bench and a schweet frame?!? Dangerously hot things begin to evolve…

A beautiful Japanese made Schwinn, Sugino Super Maxy cranks, MKS road pedals, flip-flop Formula Hubs with Sun Rims, all underneath a sparpkly red Soma Saddle that just so happens to match the Schwinn logo.

She’s so hot, the keyboard is burning up as I type.

Who wants it?

Playing polo is definitely fun, especially when you are not playing polo and in hand cuffs.

So, about half way through my fantastically cold ride into the shop this morning, it occurred to me that something wasn’t quite right with my trusty iron horse. She just wasn’t riding the same. She was sluggish. Weighed down. It was as if somehow she had become heavier over night. I could tell something was amiss and decided to investigate as soon as I arrived at BByB.

Much to my amazement I discovered this:

Seat Stay

I was bewildered. What on earth was this mysterious passenger?

Wikipedia.org is a pretty amazing thing. It’s an astonishing invention that has certainly changed the way people gather information and answer questions.

It’s also EVIL. Because now, thanks to Wiki, I will never be able to comfortabley ride again because of my new found fear that SPIDERS ARE GOING TO ATTACK ME AND INVADE MY EARDRUMS WHILE I PEACEFULLY RIDE DOWN THE STREEET!!! AHHHH!!!!!

My dearest friends: If you ever see me laying on the side of the road, the rear of my bicycle frame gone and exploded into a million tiny little pieces, and a weird uneasy feeling that you are being watched, please DO NOT STOP AND HELP ME. I’m already a gonner. It’s over Johnny. Turn and run away as fast as you can. You do not want the same fate happen to you.

Looking for a new ride this holiday season? Well, we’ve been working hard to crank ‘em out. Sweating bullets to build you all the sschweeet rides you demand. This little beauty, for instance, is probably the hottest deally-yo to hit the market.

So come on by and see the fruits of our labor. You’re going to be pleasantly surprised. I swear.

This is definitely something we can get behind. We’re happy to announce this awesome event and will be co-sponsoring it along with some other bike shop owners and cycling enthusiasts. See you then!

Cranksgiving is an annual charity ride that collects food for the homeless and funds for City Harvest and the New York Bike Messenger Foundation. It’s been happening for over a decade now and has spread to at least a dozen other cities. But this is where it started, in New York City. Free registration for the race is at 2pm on November 21, and the race will begin at 3pm. Donations are being accepted online at http://www.cranksgiving.org, or can be mailed to the New York Bike Messenger Foundation.
