Nemesis Project X Disney Bloc-28 !

I am very proud to post these photos of the one off 24" bmx cruiser we build with the folks over at Disney Bloc-28
With the official launch in downtown L.A. on Nov-10 I have been given special permission by Disney to post these photos early here on our blog .
The bike itself was styled after Mickey's very own colorways , this interpretation of what Mickey's bicycle would be came out looking amazing! Highlights of this build include laser cut Mickey "cross gloves" patterns for the seat and chainstay spreaders and custom one off Disney Bloc-28 Pivotal seat. Parts spec is a mix of classic parts meets new school BMX highlights of this parts list include the last set of NOS gumwall 24" Tioga comp 3's left on the planet earth ( yea try to find a set )
Skyway Tuff wheels , custom powdercoated Macneil BMX Conjoined cranks and KAPPA Sumo bars, , DUO Grips, FLY bikes brakes and headset , Animal Pivotal post and Profile seatclamp and Spanish BB spacer kit .
Big Thanks go out to everyone involved with this bike , LES at Disney Bloc-28 first off for making this all possible ! Darcy over at Macneil BMX for the help with the cranks and for creating the Pivital technology ! Everyone at Skyway recreation for help with the wheels , Steve and the crew at MASS brothers powdercoating you guys are the best hands down !

Nitto bar
Vintage stem

Drive ....

I'm a little late in posting this to the blog , last Sunday I took the .:R32 out to the local exotic car club's Euro Sunday GTG and Drive . Here are a few of the pic's from the morning GTG , Yes there were Ferrari's and Lambo's there but those don't seem as as impressive as the car's pictured below possibly due to nature of them being "production cars"
Very nice Detomasso


Very clean 300zx


.:R32


Opel .. so clean!


After the morning GTG I went for a short drive with a few of the guys.


After the Euro sunday GTG and drive I took a trip out through Napa and stopped in one of my favorite spot's to get updated pic's of the .:R32

The .:R looks so good in this pic , my new desktop image !

Japanese press .. bicycle club!

Yuki from Bicycle Club was out at SeaOtter and did a story on Nemesis Project for Bicycle club the worlds largest cycling publication , so if you can read Japanese enjoy .
-Brad

French Press !

Yoann our French importer / distributer from Bike for Life Import has sent us a copy of the French Ride magazine who had some good things to say about our bikes and Yoann's new company !


I just sent yoann a HUGE box full of Weezy and 2.60 bars so if you are from France and have been waiting for Nem-Pro bars please contact Yoann at Bike for Life Import .

Yosemite !

Garson flew out from Vermont for a few days last week , so we decided to instead of the standard road trip / tour wear we hit as many skateparks and spots as possible in 10 days , we ditch the normal routine and go to Yosemite Nat park for a few days and have a normal vacation.

Before we left we took the .:R32 and my new FATLACE ARC out to the FatLace Hella flush show , it was I hate to say it Hella Fun!! ( thank you Emily for the great pic of me and Garson , don't mind Ron and andy in the pic to the right they get enough nethype! )
So after Hella flush we escaped to our favorite noodle joint in S.F. and got home early so we could get ready to leave for Yosemite ! On the way home I showed Garson a decommissioned government Missle Base that you can drive up too .
The trip itself was awesome , we didn't get too many pic's due to the fires and having NO power in curry village wear we ended up staying most of the trip.

We saw one Bear

Garson found a Rock to ride on !
and
I took some pictures of my new lil Brown Fixie bike

Congrats TOFF !

Big congrats go out to TOFF who won amature class at the recent Brooklyn Baks contest , with a Nem-Pro bar and stem !
Here's shot of toff reciving his new Dobermann frame from Alan of DOB
Great Job TOFF , hit me up I'll get you anew stem and a set of Weezy's for your new bike!!
