happy holidays fellow ridazz,
I was super excited to see everyone at the All City Toy Ride, it really brought the spirit alive!!
j. knice clothing co. has begun its 4 month long project. We will be collaborating with 4 different noted local LA artist, to create one or two awesome shirts dedicated to our cycling culture!
Each design will drop the first of each month, as well as the bio and interview pix of the artist will be up on my website (Jan. artist is RAMSEY DAU of Silverlake)....sorry to sound like an AD but I just want to get the word out to those that matter to me.
Ride safe guys...and I hope to have even more memories in 2010 with you guys!

thanks for your 2cents, but just as anyone informing other riders about their bike parts for sale, I like to keep those that are interested in my "bike crap" informed of new things I make. This is an open forum of information, and I've actually discussed possible projects with Roadblock in the future, but I respect your opinion.@indigis
but for the TRUE hater/motivator @fumbler, I couldn't have put it better than the words of Ramsey himself:
"Hey justin. Just saw the post on midnight ridazz. Wow, there is a lot
of negativity on that blog. I was going to reply on there but I'm not
a member and I don't do their rides so if you want to post this you can.
Point 1: They are right, the drivetrain is on the wrong side and I
should have realized that, but when I draw, I tend to focus only on
aesthetics and easily misspell words or make other mistakes in logic
(like this one). Btw, did you guys notice there are not the correct
number of spokes either? I draw from reference photographs and in
this case I liked how the image layed up facing this direction, which
resulted in a flipped drive. I didn't notice it because I wasn't
paying attention to that kind of thing. And yes I have been riding
bikes my whole life and currently own three of them.
Point 2: This was a real collaboration between Justin and myself. I
met Justin when he was printing some tshirts for me. He mentioned his
little project and suggested I do some art for a shirt for him. He
seemed really passionate about bikes and making a good product AND He
offered to split the profits on the shirts he sells - which is a lot
better than any big company I've ever done business with (and I've
done business with a lot of them). And yes, that is my signature in
the bottom corner (my initials in a circle and the year) along with
the word "knice" which is Justin's company, so yes, it is a proper
collaboration.
It is probably stupid to respond to this kind of thing because
negative people will find fault in anything you do. All I know is
Justin is out there making something that is pretty cool and he has
passion for it and I like to make art and get it out there. So hate
on. I'm happy"

...now fuel me, I know you can't wait.
