unlucky raffle numbers from Ro-Roll Kidul Goldsprint

I wonder to know why they named it with Ro-Roll Kidul rather than with other names. First time heard of it, i remember about our myth story about a queen who lived in southern sea of Java, Indonesia. Her name is Nyi Rara Kidul also known as Nyai Rara Kidul, Nyi Lara Kidul or Nyi Ro Ro Kidul. She loves green color so much and we're not allowed to wear anything green on our body when we hang out around the beach or you'll be disappear forever (believe it or not).

Y'all still curious about her? find out on the web because i gotta stop this spooky scary ass story and talk about the goldsprint not the queen.

During the goldsprint session at Life Cycle, every riders attend for the sprint or just for have fun with a free-flow Steinlager pure beer and a redbull dancing on Reggae YooMaaan Rastamasta Maaan spinning from the DJ's. I also met again with Faz Adhili and others Ratskl crew after the fixed fest '11 at Jakarta. The Ro-Roll Kidul was fun!!

A bad blackberry camera not given me any chances to documented all the fun all the madness last Friday. Yeah, i should thinking to buy a camera not depends on a phone camera.

unlucky raffle numbers
After my friend bought the raffle and saw the first session rolling raffle was crazy and everyone got a big smile on their face. So i decided to get my owned gold that only cost me two bucks per each of it, and cross the fingers hoping for a luck. Ro-Roll Kidul prove me wrong about the gold bring back to home, thought i should take my bus number 111 rather than those numbers. Someone's hold it and got a 2nd prize. Numbers oh numbers... Hate numbers not the bucks.

A free goodies from Urban Velo, quite a bit to pay the sadness of unlucky raffle and go home with something on the bag, LOL

BIKE CHECK one two 1 2 : Mr. Roy's Concorde


A nice sunny Sunday, we went to Sungei Rd for the first time to check what's the famous flea market known as "thieves market" look like. Quite interesting market where many locals sell anything from used wardrobes, Vinyl records, some old toys (too bad we got nothing on it), old cameras from Japanese brands etc with a various price we can bargain on it.

After half an hour seeing around, hot and hopeless got nothing treasure from the junk suddenly a man came along with his iron horse. We recognize the frame and decided to tail him down to his stall and have a little chit chat. He sell any kind of stone which for religious thing (dunno what is it) and seems a nice guy too. He tell us there's another one European frame at home and still waiting to set up after he got all the parts.

Okay, that's a story about him. Now, we pleased you to enjoy the pics of Mr. Roy's Concorde Aquila

Fab's Cycle


This is Fab's Cycle another bike shop in Singapore run by the Italiano. This shop is more than just a business but a way of living for Fabrizio. So passion drove him to create a shop concept where customer not just a client but a friend and a fellow rider that shares everything about cycling.

Last post, i said TR bikes is the only bike shop in Singapore that provide a fixed gear parts in a way of living through the culture of urban cycling nowadays. I'm apologize to gave a wrong information about it, so far i know besides TR bikes is Fab's Cycle at Chinatown, Airwalk at Queenstown and Vanguards at River Valley (will review them soon).

Last but not least, all i remember about him is what he said: "i dunno man, i'm a busy man", "yaa maybe. Perhaps it's me on there", "you take care yaa".

Okay. enjoy the pictures tell about Fab's Cycle it self. Keep riding and safety, guys!
