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.

More ’80s inspiration. This time from the classic movie Highlander.

Although there are lots of cool scenes from this movie, my favourite part was where Tony the Hotdog Vendor reads to Lieutenant Frank Moran the newspaper headline. Still cracks me up to this day.

So goodbye to Ya’mama and wassup to Tony. Tony was stripped of all paint, then rusted with a darkening ingredient. Along with an overhauled pair of black Espresso Wheels, Tony was given an old leather Brooks saddle with colour matching handlebar tape, toe straps and leather for the custom valve caps.

Everything else is pretty much the same, except for new (tidier) towel bar grips, toe straps for the pedals and a new front brake leaver with a restored vintage caliper.
