RICKY'S MUM

RICKY'S MUM

“Who’s that little f****r on my porch?” – Mrs. Baker (1991)

BIO

Today’s inspiration is Single parent Mrs. Baker AKA Ricky’s Mum. Watch what you was about her beloved son or you might get the hairdryer treatment.

Lost of memorable scenes in the iconic movie Boyz N The Hood. The first scene with Mrs. Baker accompanied by the song ” Sunshower ” by Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band is one of my favourites.

Ricky’s Mum was originally a 1988 Peugeot Monte-Carlo. The frame and forks were stripped of all factory paint, then got the usual rust treatment.

Other cool features of this build include a pair of white WTB ThickSlick tyres, Odyssey Twisted Aloha Pedals (Limited Edition) and a Special Edition Brooks Saddle and handlebar tape.
