Those of you who follow my blog will know I’ve been building up my fixie for the last two months or so. All was going well until I had to find some cranks for it. None of the local bike stores had cranks that were suitable, and the few sets I traced online were all too long (yes, Im very fussy when it comes to setting up my bikes). I was about to throw some silly money at a set on the internet but decided to wait until the new year… Anyway, Im currently down at the coast on holiday and thought I’d stop by an old bike shop I sued to visit when I was a kid. Turns out they had NOS sugino 75 track cranks in stock! In the exact length I wanted! And the price was a steal! Im stoked to say the least, and I’ll be bolting these up to the steed as soon as Im back home.

I apologise if my news is filled with links to motorcycle blogs but lets be honest here, they are dope! I will have some more work related stuff in the near future (for those who are interested). But until then take a look at this craftsmanship, attention to detail, and straight up awesomeness! GODSPEED 45/06

Today Ive been checking out a bunch of Retro Futurism art, and more specifically the habitats that were created around the 60’s and 70’s. Im really inspired by these works, and find the infinite detail as well as sheer volume that the pictures depict really fascinating (and refreshing). Who knows, with the earth rapidly descending to a point of no return people like NASA might be dusting these artworks off in the not to distant future. More eye popping goodness after the jump.

You can see more of these works HERE.

Im going to be racing my bicycle this weekend in the Mikes Bikes pump track series. They had one last month and it was a good time for sure. I cant get enough of them bikes!

The good people at Hello Vinyl have also done a feature on my Prison Tat Munny. You can check out their site HERE and follow them on twitter HERE.

The good folks at “A T-shirt Blog” just featured the CSL shirt I designed for the Highway Collective. Head on over there and see what they have to say. You can check out the feature HERE, as well as the rest of the shirts I did for the Highway Collective HERE. The A T-shirt Blog site is updated regularly and has tons of rad T’s up there so make sure you look around.

You going to have to excuse my current obsession with motorcycles. Im afraid it seems I cant get enough of them right now. Anyway, if I even had a bike I’d be pretty excited to roll with these dudes. A biker gang thats into doodling? Art? And even jewelry? believe it! Not to mention they seem to have a pretty good sense of humor. I like them already! When you done looking at the site have a look at the blog. Its a belter! CORPSES FROM HELL

I got my motorcycle license when I was 16 and had a TS125 that I use to get around on. I really liked that bike, and had some real good times on it. I also had some pretty grim times on it as well… Riding home in the rain was never fun, and being seemingly invisible to other motorists also didn’t make the daily commute too much fun either. After I got my car licence I sold the bike, and after a few years I let my bike licence expire. Looking at this beauty makes me with I hadn’t let that happen. If I had a steed like this Id ride it every day! Id really like to ride and build my own bikes at some stage, but the thought of having to redo my licence just kills me. Who knows though, stranger things have happened. You can find more pics of this bike (and others) HERE.

I came across this blog today and Im blown away buy its supreme awesomeness! The Selvedge Yard is a blog dedicated to all manner of retro content, including stuff like “ULTIMATE RETRO SEXY MAN CAVES”, “54 SALT FLATS HOT ROD MEET”, “JOHNNY CASH 1950s SLICK BLACK STYLE”, and “”MAD MEN OF MODERN DESIGN” to name a few. I cant get enough of it, and you should definitely check it out HERE.

Ive made some headway on my fixie project. The old blue paint has been replaced with a few lashings of satin black, and the new wheels are now bolted into place. So far its looking pretty sweet if I dont say so myself! Im picking up a few more choice bits for it this weekend, so it should be rolling in the not to distant future.

Ive just added some pics of my “Prison Tat” Munny to my portfolio. It was a fun little project to work on in my spare time, and Im keen to do more of these in the future. You can check it out HERE.
