Baron von Zach Cycles: Today's Spotlight Is On - - - - - - - - Crazy G !
http://baronvonzach.blogspot.com/2012/03/spotlight-on-crazy-g.html
Baron von Zach Cycles. Today's Spotlight Is On - - - - - - - - Crazy G! From time to time, the Baron will use this blog to introduce his friends. Today's spotlight is on Crazy G, who revives the dying art of hand-chasing leather. This is an incredibly labour-intensive art, all the patterns are carefully chased with small chisels and a hammer. Often, the patterns are then brought out in vivid colours. The stuff coming from her little workshop in Bremen never ceases to amaze the Baron. Bike Rumor, USA.

Baron von Zach Cycles: Today's Spotlight Is On - - - - - - - Bali!
http://baronvonzach.blogspot.com/2012/04/todays-spotlight-is-on-bali.html
Baron von Zach Cycles. Today's Spotlight Is On - - - - - - - Bali! Contrary to common belief, Bali is not in Indonesia. He is actually at his house in Hungary, tinkering with bikes. The Baron discovered him recently on a tour at Ratrodbikes. And was amazed how Bali can transform an old bicycle. Bali loves old bicycles and got himself a Hungarian built, beaten up old "CSEPEL TÚRA":. And low and behold, he did some true magic to it:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Baron von Zach Cycles: Dyno Goes West
http://baronvonzach.blogspot.com/2012/09/dyno-goes-west.html
Baron von Zach Cycles. Remember, this is what the Dyno looked like after the Winter Break:. The Baron now swapped the tyres for a new set of Schwalbe Returner slugwalls:. Subsequently, the bike has taken on a decidedly Western flair. He added: "Apart from that, there is a trend towards slugwalls anyway and after six years I just couldn't see those cheesy cream Fat Franks anymore.". We asked him how he knew there is a trend towards slugwalls, and he said:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Baron von Zach Cycles: Catch Of The Day - The Bigfish
http://baronvonzach.blogspot.com/2012/05/catch-of-day-bigfish.html
Baron von Zach Cycles. Catch Of The Day - The Bigfish. Well, actually the Bigfish isn't that big. It is quite an ingenious folding bike, which was designed by a team in Slovenia and produced in Italy. For the Baron, it was love at first sight and he didn't rest until he could call one his own. Luckily he managed to secure the last one ever to be sold in England. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). About Baron von Zach Cycles. Stockport, England, United Kingdom. View my complete profile.

Baron von Zach Cycles: The Baron now knows where Vauxhall got its model names from
http://baronvonzach.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-baron-now-knows-where-vauxhall-got.html
Baron von Zach Cycles. The Baron now knows where Vauxhall got its model names from. Fancy finding this at your local scrappie? A thorough cleanup has already commenced:. So, what have we got here? A Worksop built Carlton Corsa Strada made from some obscure butted lightweight tubing. It is not Reynolds 531, but it feels light. 27" Rigida Superchromes in 32/40, that neither sport super chrome, nor did they turn out being rigid - they are both buckled. Brooks B15 bollocks kicker.

Baron von Zach Cycles: Because he is the Baron. That's why.
http://baronvonzach.blogspot.com/2012/07/because-he-is-baron-thats-why.html
Baron von Zach Cycles. Because he is the Baron. That's why. Q: Why do people buy diamonds? A: Because they are expensive. The same applies to a Pashley Guv'nor. Pashley claims, it is a re-enaction of a path racer they built in the 1930s. Do not misinterpret this. It means, it is as atrocious to ride as a path racer from the 1930s. Why they call the frame geometry 'relaxed' is beyond anybody's guess. The more thinwalled, the lighter the tubes are. And hand-brazed the Guv'nor frame is. It is also stove...

Baron von Zach Cycles: Winning A Winner For Free
http://baronvonzach.blogspot.com/2012/07/today-family-scrap-metal-merchant.html
Baron von Zach Cycles. Winning A Winner For Free. Today the family scrap metal merchant stopped in front of the von Zach residence and this fell off his lorry:. The Baron's newest foray into the Reich of the pitted chrome, the perished slugwalls, and the peeling stickers is a Raleigh Winner. Oh don't we all adore it? This is what it looked like roughly ten minutes after it had landed:. Pumping up the tyres was all that was needed to make this bike fully functional! What do the experts say? About Baron vo...

Baron von Zach Cycles: A Bratz For The Little Baroness
http://baronvonzach.blogspot.com/2012/04/bratz-for-little-baroness.html
Baron von Zach Cycles. A Bratz For The Little Baroness. The Baron found this in a ditch a few years back:. What people carelessly discard never ceases to amaze the Baron. But in this case, he probably went a little too far. The bike appeared too far gone and beyond hope. The term 'tip' crossed his mind several times, but sentimental as he is when it comes to old bicycles, he simply didn't have the heart to toss this heap. The little Baroness' face when she saw it: Priceless! About Baron von Zach Cycles.

Baron von Zach Cycles: The Baron Joins Team Banana
http://baronvonzach.blogspot.com/2012/06/baron-joins-team-banana.html
Baron von Zach Cycles. The Baron Joins Team Banana. Since it turned out that a so called "Recycling Centre" is exactly not that, the Baron was driven off his most abundant hunting grounds. Tired with the constant squabbling with the myrmidons of the waste mafia each time he wanted to recycle something he spotted there, he now changed venue and became friendly with a scrap metal merchant. This friendship now carried the first fruits and yielded a Falcon Team Banana:. The equipment is as follows:. About Ba...

Baron von Zach Cycles. The Dyno Glide Deluxe After The Winter Break. This is what it was like last year:. This is as of today:. The mods are subtle, but altogether the bike now looks more integral. Both stems and the handelbar are now black. Black German pre-war rims. Sachs Torpedo two-speed Duomatic rear hub. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). About Baron von Zach Cycles.
