Meg'z carbon fibre polo mallet


Super light weight mallet for a super chick! Built by Tarn of Primate Frames! More pics on Candy Cranks!

Walking side by side with death


Amazing paint resto on this Ciocc which has the same braze-on Italian flag as my Conti. Great work by Keith Anderson Cycles. Have a gander at his Flickr HERE! Via Milano Fixed...

Everybody spread the word, we're gonna have a celebration




Get over to Deus on the 12th of December for the Vintage Surf & Skate Swap Meet. It will be huge. I'm a huge fan of Carby's art and creative direction for Deus, but this poster is one of my all time faves. Click for big!

Fell the dark night, and no starlight to light the room



Three dimensional calligraphy, heat and steel. Even if you can't read Japanese, have a browse through the framebuilders website, incredible stuff. And if anyone can, I'd love to hear more about this builder! Tetz-One frame and fork. Check out the rest of the pics on "84's" Flickr stream, and the 84 BLOG!

Life shows no mercy


Via Bikes, bikes & bikes! LOVELY!

But if your mind's neglected, stumble you might fall

Pony Bikes Allegro Pista



My best mate Sasha, the woman behind Pony Bikes in Melbourne, celebrated her birthday today by completing one of her finest ever builds, an Allegro Pista Custom for Camilla. Sweet! Happy birthday Sash, hope this year is your most excellent yet!

I tried to look away but I can't resist, I can't believe that you exist



Browsing through the photo galleries of the Deus ex Machina shop in Auckland and WOW! What a great collection of vintage BMX they have on display! When I grow up I wanna visit there!

What's not to love? Simon Peplow! Via SFGFC and Tracko!
