Check out the lines. It’s bizzare, love the looptail, love how the top tube connects to the bottom of the head tube.

Fluted seatpost is a nice touch, love the lightning bolt on the saddle too (can never have too many lightning bolts!).

The double down tubes are so cool. Awesome that they made a custom frame pad for it too.

Pop!

Daniel Dittmar is off to Europe to live, what a legend! I wish him all the best, he’s gonna kill it!

As expected, bikes all over Dittmar’s house in Newtown.

All mine, needs a bit of a clean. Missing front brakes, rear rim is a little worn, rear tyre too but apart from that she’s just gorgeous!

I always knew I’d end up with an SE Quadangle one day. Yesterday I saw one rock up in my facebook feed and I knew right away it was Dittmar’s bike. Some dude had first dibs and I had 2nd, 2st dude fell through… sweeet the bike is mine! :)

Funny thing is I had eyes on it from the first time I met Dittmar in 2009 where he interviewed me for his magazine (the bike features in the article too), great thing about running a blog, check out the blog post here.

Grips and seatpost just came in, on they go!

You guys would not believe how awesome it rides! So so cool!

I had bought some Tektro 559 long reach front brakes, they looked the goods. As soon as I went to fit them up I quickly realised they were still way too short to reach the 650C rim’s braking surface. Super bummed. I ended up having to fabricate a small piece of thick steel to make the stock front caliper work.

Still waiting on seatpost + grips!

Before.

Banana Saddle.

Glittery red! :)

Chopper Bars.

Sissy Bar.

After a few beers. HAHA.

Had our first BMU Bike Night @ Zen last night. Wasn’t as busy as I had hoped, but it was a great night despite. More pics on Zen.

Score! Cycling inspired T’s by local company Cycology. Nice quality, sketchy arty prints. Visit: http://www.cycologygear.com/

Made in the USA.

Also found this on the side of the street in the city. Got excited when I realised it was a Gary Fisher, got disappointed when I saw the crappy front fork, then got excited again when I saw that the frame was made in the USA.

Not sure what to do with it, we’ll see!

BMU boys.

The Bikes Move Us forum was running on old forum software, and was being attacked by spambots so badly I had to turn off automatic new registrations and approve members manually (much work).

With a little help from Nyssa (my new web developer) I finally got around to upgrading it to the latest stable release of vBulletin. Of-course it looked like vomit on install (our old theme was no longer compatible) so I’ve spent a bit of time tweaking it to look better. Visit: http://www.bikesmoveus.com.au/
