Graveltech Loses Bid for 2008 Single Speed World Championships
Posted September 4th, 2007 by billyspacemanI a heavily contested and cutthroat competition, the elegant dance of representitive Billy "Highland Flung" Spaceman proved inadequate to seize the honor of hosting the Single Speed Worlds in the United States. As disappointed as we all are, the Winner of 2008 decider will bring the Greatest Event on Earth to the United States after all. Curtis Inglis of Inglis/Retrotec, swooped in with a cunning plan to host the 2008 Worlds by actually planning something.

Modeling a ladies vest at the NACCC... Hey, I like the cut.
Graveltech Sponsors Single Speed World Championships
Posted April 30th, 2007 by billyspacemanGraveltech has proudly signed on for the 2007 Single Speed World Championships in Scotland. The event will be Sept. 1-2 in Aviemore, Scotland, and One Speed Revolution will be there. In tow will be respected journalists and professional racers (if we can find any in time), plus the regular group of one-speed miscreants and troublemakers.
Co-sponsoring the event is the loveable Joseph Ahearne of Ahearne Cycles, who will make sure that some lucky single speeders will have a way to stash their single malt, and attach it to their bicycles as well, thanks Joseph!
Flat-track fixed gear racing with Chevil
Posted April 25th, 2007 by drewishChevil's got this crazy idea that people would want to meet up at the Fresh Pot on N. Mississippi at 7 pm then ride to a secret location for some grass flat track action. Fixed gear bikes only, no brakes. This is not cyclo-cross but knobby tires would be a good idea. Think of it as track racing with all the velo and none of the drome with a dose of NASCAR.
Start meeting every Wednesday at 7 for mix of grass races, miss-n-out, figure eight, team, and assorted fun.

Some how we wormed our way into the respectable pages of DirtRag to soil it with fake interviews with the bikes of Burning Man.

Rain Gear
Posted November 13th, 2006 by billyspacemanIt's time for some waterproofing, so here's a project I've been up to.
Amanda's work bike. Some call it the "Care Bear".
I learned to do this at River City in PDX. You can buy the Reacharound Kit from there if you want. www.rivercitybicycles.com

More NOISE!
Posted October 18th, 2006 by drewishSome how I forgot to mention the NOISE is back:
No one is sure what NOISE stands for but I'm pretty sure the O is for Onespeed and the S is for Solidarity and that's enough for me. The first NOISE event was put on by Dr. Doom, Spaceman, Drew and Chevil in 2002. When I "won" the NOISE belt last year I was informed that I was also responsible for putting on next year's race, so here it is.
I'll keep it traditional, starting at high noon at the Fresh Pot on N. Mississippi. We'll have a friendly tour through various superfund sites and Bosnian villages en route to Pier Park. A few laps of the hilly course will decide whose name is burned into the belt this year. Other prizes will be awarded for : best jump, best fixed gear with no brakes, most flats and worst crash. You can enter on any kind of bike but only single speeders get prizes. Knobbies are recommended but it can be done on slicks if you're a badass. Bring extra patches and tubes, there's lots of glass...oh yeah and it's free.
After his stunning victory last year we told R. Kelly that he had to plan the next one and defend his title. I gotta say totally picked up the ball and ran with it.
Oh, and the word on the street is Spaceman may be making a suprise appearance for it.
