Bikes of Heckawee: Team Smoothie

Behold the Heckawee Team Bike for the 2010 road and crit season. Team mechanic Choak built this steel beauty for the racing style and comforts of Chief Heckawee. Chief is comfortable on this stock 54cm Soma.
The name "Smoothie" is not for his abilities with the ladies but rather his work with fruit.
The white frame is meant to give the impression this testosterone-filled mad-racer is riding clean.
With a mix of Shimano and Sram Rival the Chief is racing with a clear advantage.
The 12-28 cassette enables the Chief to spin nicely up normally painful rollers yet hold a wheel when the racing gets down to it.
Brakes optional.
Chief Heckawee's cockpit. Stiff. No cheater brakes.
Heckawee Slick: Ivas John's cat.

  1. That's it! Guapo's trading in the Pinarello for a SOMA. I must say, the Chief's subtle use of colors to balance out the all-white look of the Smoothie is very impressive. He must be taking art classes on the side. Only thing that worries me is that computer on the handlebars. What the fuck, Chief?!!
