giro empire shoe

new studio book

nice kit design

Just come across this kit design by a fella called bernard sincock as far as i can make out he's based in LA and thats all the internet will tell me. Lovely kit design, very swiss. you only have to thumb through cycling plus to see how much design could start riding the coat tails of this cycling boom, which is a good thing. i am available for designing anything cycling related btw. I'd love to do a kit design one day. May even post up a 'thin gray lines' kit just for fun, it will be like i'm 12 years old again. particularly love the cap.

judging by the cover

and while i'm talking about objects i've seen i love the look of – here's the cover of Condors' (by far my favourite bike shop, for their friendlyness and stock) new book, 'past present future'. can't wait to get a copy and i'll stand it next to all my other yellow things. maybe one day in the future i'll also own on of their frames.

Look out for the Lug Man

this is enough to make you cry and put your fist in your mouth and think about another credit card, nevermind another frame. lovely lovely hand cut lugs from the yorkshireman. nerd yourself out. Sigh.

good charity shoppe

picked up this amazing old magazine rack today – reminded me of three things – spokes, my favourite colour combo at the moment and the eames coat rack. 

i always thought those coat racks like all coat rack/stands look better with nothing on them at all, which fights with their function. unless it's nice a cane umbrella or 1960's gents hat. my new rack needs a spot of paint and gluing – nice little restoration project i got while i am taking things easy.
