so phase 3 is now complete, my faux 80's shop is to the point where im happy with it. eventually i will get the right side wall finished up, but now i have more important things to do...(a daughter on the way and a BBQ bash to host).
the name came from my wifes registered company of srocket rock ind. which will be putting out instructional music lesson books and cd's for children. its only proper that i change the words around to work for a bike shop name.

these three pics are ready to be photoshopped together if anyone cares to do it.
pic 1, the bike rack. notice the new use of lighting below the top tier and the kinda haro-ish green on the walls. and the reason for no paint under ther rack is to keep it bright under there.

pic 2, repainted back wall with haro shelves and re organized tool box and storage area......nice showcases.

pic 3, the unfinished work and play section. kinda gives it class looking at it that way.... oh yeah, part of my decal collection on the wall. (do i see a new build on the bench?)

well?

That is outrageous. Nice Job!!!

totally insane.....that is fricking awsome man.......

What did you do with my Master pit?
Cool shop, hope to make it for the brawl.

crazy...very impressive! the retro colours on the bricks is really cool.

JUST 22222222222 Sweet!!!!!! ps in need those show cases

So how are you going to spend any time IN the house?.....lol very cool Brian! Good to see some consructave use of time...

OH MY.....


I may have to go rub one out now....

Blast from the past! Nice job Brian!

Sick man! Hope I'll be able to see it in person, but I got a feeling the BBQ date is bad for me.

Damn!!!!!!!

You better put in a video security system. You know how a lot of people got parts in the 80's...

what exactly am I looking at?

if I understand this correctly you have made a 'stage set' 80's period shop in your garage/basement?

...why?

.....why???? Are you kidding?

Because it completes any great vintage bmx collection!

If you have the room, there is NO better way to display your artifacts.

Jimmy B,
all the cool people are doing it...peer pressure man!!!!

Nice work Brian!!!! Lovin the syke-o-del-ick (can't spell this morning) colors...puff puff give, (hehe)...I will see this shop in person...i must attend the FALL BRAWL!!!!!!


Jon

Replace your radio/stereo with an '80s boom box complete with stickers on the speakers.

Forget about Photoshopping them together, wait til I get up there with the wide angle lens—I can get the whole shop in one pic

Wow Brian, you got a lot done this weekend! Nice job. I'll come by this week and check it out. This past weekend was not good. Lets ride one night this week. Maybe tomorrow?

Jeff

probably one of the coolest garages "um bike shops" on the planet

I'd get a old-skool ghetto blaster "like TTT said", and maybe hang a bike or 2 from some fishing line (I still have visions of my lbs having a Team Master floating in the middle of the shop)...

some 80s movie posters could really set it off too...RAD, ET, BMX Bandits etc...

a old-skool board display would be the shiznit also. and how bout some bunks so that the crew has somewere to crash...or when your wife doesnt let you back in the house because you spend to much time in the shop...

Awesome

vision becomes reality--nice work!

Um. . . Like, do you have a lay-a-way?

-Todd

Damn!

Sick, Brother! Nice work.

Very, very cool. What's sad is your "faux" bike shop is actually better than my local "real" shop ever was. That has to be the coolest rec room I've ever seen.

I second the vintage board display. Maybe a TV running old school vids.

Wow. Stereo, microwave, fridge. Add a bed and you could stay down there for weeks (of course after a few days you'd smell so bad, the wife wouldn't let you back in the house).

Brian,

Where's some of your other bikes? I dont see the Trick Star or the black/lav Street Beat.
Some of your framesets are also missing.

Are you hiding something from us?

KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!

how about some close up shots of the goodies in the showcases?

BRILLIANT!!!

Beautiful man, just beautiful!
