Trek District

I saw one of these meandering along the beach yesterday, very attractive looking bike and a great colour combination. I'm going to have to track on down to have a closer examination of that belt specific drop-out design.

PCD Ingenuity

My geometry skills are not what they used to be so while looking around for an online PCD calculator (fruitlessly so far) I found the EasyPCD. So brilliantly simple.



Update: found a calculator here

The First Step into the Abyss

I picked up this unidentified ebay bargain a few days ago.



A few small changes and it's on the road, i like the grey, the pink, and the white, but i can't abide by the fade: race tape to the rescue! Running as it is for the moment to figure out what ratio I want to run and decide on bars, then it's time to tear it down, tidy the unneeded bosses, paint it and convert it to single speed.



Perfect day for a spin to the beach.

jerm IX Tattoo Project

jerm IX had donated his personal canvas to be covered by a selection of street artists, sounds like a win/win to me. The artists get to contribute to an intriguing project and secure some exposure, and he gets some incredible artwork to be inked.

Hester Vlamings Shoes

In case it's not already apparent I get interested in all aspects of design, so it should be no surprise to find high heels mixed among all the vehicles that tend to show up on here. In this case some different footwear from Hester Vlamings. I'm going to have to source some felt, so much potential in that material.

Wish List: Incase Skate Messenger Bag

Love the details and the overall thought put into this.

Mantra

I've always thought the Bimota Mantra was a gorgeous frame wrapped in a hideous skin, this example on Rocket Garage attests to this.
