Little China

Doing some constructive procrastinating here... Followed are glamour shots of some Pajaro's..Script and head tube bird handpainted by local pinstriper Sampson... The Pajaro's will be built to order, mainly stock size single speed bikes of any wheel size with a few options and a half dozen choices of color. Base price for a frame will be at least 500$. These are basic bikes built well... Made within spitting distance of the Pajaro river... I'm making these as a relief from the over analyzed, overly serious, overly snobby world of custom frame building... The beauty of bikes for me is the sight of someone riding one, with a smile on their face, with a destination in mind, a place to go, fresh air....The Pajaro's will evolve as all my bikes have evolved, as the caveman has evolved, slowly....

Hey Folks
Been getting somes calls about Unicycle frames... I still make them and like to make them. I don't ride them ( confession ) but I can build them...I can build lots of stuff that I don't really want to ride, like 16" BMX bikes, I would knock my teeth out with my knees !!!
Uni frames built to order, any wheel size up to a 36er...So cute...

friday blog down

Cross bike fever in full effect.. Heres some shots of a few recent CX frames... Light and racy... A couple shots of some basic cruiser forks, featuring the new plate arch supercrown style... New for 2008...




BURRITO ENVY
We here at Hunter cycles don't need to drive a Hummer, We don't need to jet ski or act tougher then we are... We have the biggest burrito in town !!!! 5$ of 3lb's of tender juicy love... No joke this is the standard super burrito from a little place called Popo's... Pictured on the scale, next to my autographed OJ football, next to a sharpie ( for scale ), then fully wrapped in all its glory...The homemade tortilla is so big you could saddle a horse with it...

Visatacion Valley Boyz and Girlz

Wednesday evenings spent going to SF to race cycle cross across hillsides burnt by fire, littered with trash, with the dark fog rolling in...


Old style 45's spun by DJ Zo...
Cross dresser KB races for free, starting to fall out of his top...
Mary-Anne and Mr Inglis mix it up and over the high point of the course.

Ginger showing some form and style.

KB in full flight... Super Skanky
Luckily I flatted out in the first lap so I was able to take pics and enjoy the evening.
