Return to the Land of Frosted Cornflakes

Once again I find myself in the Land of Frosted Cornflakes (A.K.A the United States of America) for another round of summer camp, so the posts will be few and far between for the next three and a half months with little to no access to sweet streets filled with sweet bikes. my apologies to my thee followers :) Hopefully will be hitting up the streets of NYC, Boston, San Fran and Sacramento after camp so should have built up a large back log to load up.

Cheers, Tim.

Hillman fixed speed, Bourke St, Melblourne

An exercise in average. Nothing really stands out but as such it all stands out or something like that.    

Cyclops MTB, Swantson St, Melbourne

Well the Melbourne International Comedy Festival [link] has wrapped up for another year and as such thought a theme relevant post was in order. Daniel Kitson [link] was the stand out for me, even if I only saw him MCing a variety gig at The Provincial Hotel, ad-libbing like a man possessed with the crowd.   

When it comes to bikes used primarily for advertising purposes, at what point does one draw the line? Either way the aerodynamics are shot on this puppy. 

Gitane fixed speed conversion, Bourke St, Melbourne,

A bike fit for a King, Queen, Jack or even a joker. Jesus and the Doctor would most likely approve also. Taking the playing cards in the spokes to the next logical conclusion.    

Quasimodo's Orion MTB, Swanston St, Melbourne

 

 

 

 

I'm gathering the Hunchback of Notre-Dame has moved to a place with less inclement weather than the north central France. Although given this is Melbourne we are talking about, his choice may well be debatable.  

Bedazzled Giant single speed, Brunswick St, Melbourne

There is bike bling and there is bike bling. This is most defiantly a case of the latter. If Martha Stewert was given a bedazzler [link] and left to her own devices, this would most likely be the most logical conclusion. WoW. the brakes levers as bar ends is pretty sweet also.   

Paconi custom single speed, Burnley bouldering wall, Melbourne

 

Paconi, another make of bike you don't see kicking around the streets, as often as you should. Love the lugging on this bike you can't ever go wrong with love hearts.
