Vj Heart Lilibeth

Vj has been riding this simple but beautiful custom Maldea for quite a while now. Her name is Lilibeth (don't ask me) and from what i can see, they are having an epic time together. For better or for worse rides, even 'til pagod they won't part.

Rock 'N' Raw

Finally finished (sort of) the Asong Asero project. Ave took his time in building this frame set but it's worth every minute of the wait.

As most of you know already, the geometry of this bike was inspired by the ASKAL. For the unfamiliar, askal is slang for asong kalye which means street dog or stray dog. And indeed it is snappy, agile and always ready to pounce. Just like a real askal.

Even on temporary set-up and raw finish, it never fails to slap a smile on my face whenever i ride this iron dog. I suspect the cantilevered one-off-made-to-measure track ends and the off-set seattube/BB/downtube junction -which results to a slammed rear wheel, are the reason for the very responsive "feel" of the ride. Plus the 77º HTA with the 20mm fork rake.

More after the break.

Lance's WeFXD X Colossi Low Pro

One of the best frame sets that came out last year. Fast, aggressive and limited production, the WeFXD X Colossi Low Pro collaboration is on it's way to being a modern classic. Lance Manuel's take here shows it off in it's full glory with a Miche track grupo and other high end parts. I like the "just-enough" red accents given off by the Fizik saddle and the 3T ARX stem. It's poppin'.

Check out more after the break.

State Of Art

"Riding this is like riding a piece of art."

Can't add anything to that, can we? That's how Lynyrd describes the feeling of riding this beautiful Dosnoventa Houston of his. As a visual artist, it's not surprising to hear him compare his bike to art. "It's like choosing materials in creating an artwork… the more attached you get to it, the more time you spend with it."

This is probably the only up-and-running Dosnoventa frame set here in Manila. Beautiful indeed.

Aventon "Black Top"

Black Top
Kervin from Pampangga (AC/SF Fixed), was planning to buy a fifth generation Toyota 4A-GE "Blacktop" engine but decided to use the money for this Aventon build instead. "I'm happy I changed my mind as I was able to build a bike with all the right components that's perfect for my size and my kind of ride."

Pinarello Diesel

I think this is the only Pinarello Diesel fixed that I know of here in Manila. How lucky of Albert to get a hold of this rare beast!

Check out more pics and the story behind this bike after the break.

Fixum X85 Track: Custom Ave Maldea

This is the… nth build of Marvi from Singapore. The most recent Maldea custom frame set from his "Fixum Machina" series, it is built from a mix of Columbus and Dedacciai steel with the Cannondale '93 track as his peg look-wise. Neat.

Specs and more photos after the jump.
