Cool and Rusty...

So we have a new label: Cool and Rusty...

Like the picas before, about rusty vehicles in any way I guess... Don't know yet, we'll see along the way...

This pica I came across on a local (ha ha ha) website for amature photographers... It's a detail of a rusty oldtimer (along with about 100 of his rusty friends) somewhere in the woods overhere in Europe...

Cool Urbex Experience...

"All torn down..." is what The Living End sang...
The factory my dad worked at for more then 25 years is about to be torn down... My brothers and sister and me letterly grew up on the factory grounds. That's why I went there accompanied with my camera, ofcourse... I walked around there for about two hours to capture some childhood memories... Took about 300 picas...! Also for family on the other side of the world I saved memories of holiday jobs at the factory... In about a month they will start to break it down, clean the ground and start building houses on it...
These picas are just to keep the memory alive...!

Cool picas morning...

I had amorning this week to do my best to make some cool picas again... Here is one for ya...!

Cool Sunday Special...

This weeks Sunday Special winner! Because the better weather is on its way... The Old gall in better weather last September... Can't wait to kick her back to life again...

Cool new profile...

My commuting 'Young Geisha' was in need of new front tire, she got wobbely in the corners and that's exactly what you don't want in the Amsterdam street jungle... So the misses took the younster to his judo classes and I brought out the wrenches... Time to get my hands dirty again...!!

Here you see why you always keep an case of empty beer bottles in the shed... So took the wheel out and I'm on my way to the rubber dude...

Here's a spy-shot from the guy at the local bikeshop, taking the old rubber off... The winner of choice for the new rubber was the Metzeler 90/90 21 etc...

This gave me the chance to clean the lower leggs also in the inner side where normally the spokes are in the way... Washing the salt and dirt off...

After cleaning the speedometer housing, the axle spacer and re-greasing them and putting some grease on the axle, re-installed the wheel with the new tire... Re-installed the brake calipers and fastend all the bolts to ying yang and back...

So here it is, my brand new profile... Looks like a hedgehog with these little rubbery spikes...

Cool graveyard...

So beauty is still to be found... even on the graveyard...
