The Celtic crosses, and the claudor rings


I am absolutely loving these paintings by Olaf Hajek, the ultimate clash between ancient and modern Hindi and tribal tattoo art and painting! Via My Love For You...

I got somethin' in my heart, I been waitin' to give




Check out this latest creation from Fast Boy Cycles. Favorite colors, favorite specs. Immaculate craftsmanship, solid aesthetics. Single speed, comfortable cockpit, a bike to last forever and take you everywhere. All adds up to one happy rider! Check out more pics on the Fast Boy flickr stream!

Let me hear your body talk


Seeing as how it's Australia Day tomorrow, it's officially Australian Music Monday in the Studio. We're up to 'Let's Get Physical' by Olivia Newton-John. Why don't you hold your own Australian Music Monday? We've had a laugh!

You got the kind of hunger that makes you sick


I heart Team Ritte!

No corral will ever hold the silver palomino


Check out these great team shots from the 1988 Tour of Britain over on Spinwell... Awesome! Is that a BMW logo on the Team Raleigh shirt? Now that's a sponsorship I'd like to see revisited!

I got you to thank for the lesson that I've learned



Mick from Busyman Bicycles continues to create the most amazing leather pieces for his bikes, and if you need any custom leather work, custom reupholstery of your favourite saddle, grips, bags etc... drop him a line. Check out his blog HERE! Thanks Mick! This particular saddle is heading for a new shop in Fitzroy called Saint Cloud, a fixed boutique opening on Gertrude Street in Fitzroy, Melbourne. The opening's on Friday 29th January, if you're interested.

Happy Friday!


Hope you all have a great weekend, I'm off to the beach!

Motel rooms and broken hearts all left behind





I'm an adidas man from way back, but I still think Stella could've spent a little longer on the drawing board with this range. Tracko.

When the emptiness finds you, you find all the numbers you need


Met up with my mate Sticks tonight for a couple of beers at The Clarendon on Devonshire St. He rocked up with his old Azonic DS1. What a legend of a bike, 10 years old and still looking as phat as it ever did. This bike has won State downhill champs and is now running 25:12, still going strong! Word!

I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more


Ben Quilty is up there as one of my favourite artists, and not only because he does incredible paintings of wrecked cars. He puts it up the art world cognoscenti a bit.
