Cinelli Unicantor x Barry McGee

One of my favourite artists, Barry McGee, has extended his collaborative efforts with Cinelli to create a Unicantor reissue to coincide with Cinelli's Eurobike release of artist projects. These include the amazing RAM2 x Mike Giant bars, MASH and Giant bar tapes. Tune into Cinelli's aerodinamica blog for more updates! Via the always rad Benjamin Taylor!

Slinky as my speech may be on this trip you'll ride for free



I am inclined to agree with Alan of Cycling Weapons of Mass Destruction notoriety, this amazing velocipede (a Cilo from 1952) takes Awesome to a whole 'nother level. Kind of why we can refer to bicycles as 'The Beautiful Machine'.

When you require streetcar desire for higher heights


New Deda bar tape and San Marco Rolls (thanks Pony Bikes!) on the F. Moser. Polish by Yogi. The rear end chrome is flawless... bindingly reflective! Don't give me grief about the platforms, I've heard it all before. Just about to slap on the Brisbane Outdoor Gear StrapOns.  Almost there, just need to put a bit of Back To Black on the hoods.

You're the pretender, what if I say that I'll never surrender


For me, to see a custom painted Pegoretti in the steel would be akin to visiting the Sistine Chapel. This is one of my favourite works by Dario yet. He contributed his artistic skills to a titanium frame by Darren Mark Crisp, a very talented builder who resides in Tuscany, Italy. Darren specialises in ultra specific custom ti frames, and places strong emphasis on the importance of 'Knowing Your Builder'. If you're after a supremely high quality custom ti frame, get to know him. Check out some more of his frames on his website and his flickr. Via orme.tv ...well worth checking out too!

Yeah, Cracklin' Rosie, get on board, we're gonna ride 'til there ain't no more to go

The Moncler show at Milan Velodrome has been getting some mixed reviews in the Blogosphere this morning, but renowned Garance Doré had an interesting perspective from the stands. Have a look on her wonderful blog!

What's it like up there, do you worry anymore

Some days it feels like this, but I keep myself inspired by dreaming that one day I'll climb up this, The Stelvio Pass. The great thing about climbing up hills is that you know there's a great descent on the other side. Elcyclista via La Gazetta Della Bici!

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night

Let's file this under: Reference for a little project that has been simmering in the skillet for a while now. Dario Pegoretti's creations are, to me, the Holy Grail of bicycles, he is a true artist in every sense of the word. Here are his submissions to the BESPOKE exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York.

Everybody keeps on talking about it, nobody's getting it done

Lord knows I've always had a thing for slender Italians, so it's no surprise that I experienced a slight tension and tingle when Fyxomatosis Andy posted these pics as a teaser of the red Pinarello he and Dan from Shifterbikes have recently built up to their usual high level of quality. Head over to Fyx TV and scope it out, well worth it. And if that got your blood and desire levels up, Pony Bikes has a blue Pinny in immaculate condition built up as a single speed which is up for sale at the amazing price of AU$800. If you're in Melbourne, drop into Sasha's shop at 87 Capel Street or check out the other photos on her blog! Someone make it your own before my guilty hand drops down my wallet...

You talked me into the game of chance

I'm usually loathe to repost anything from Chari & Co, although they're one of the many reasons I'd consider moving to NY. But this recent Colnago build for Claudio has made my day! Bask in the glory of celeste and pink awesomeness! More pictures on their blog!

Just how fresh can you get y'all, those that are blessed say yes y'all

Well, this must be how they roll in Milan. Photographer Angelo Ferillo's Colnago Pista with a lovely patina. That's obviously his nice assistant friend who is graciously helping him out by holding up his whip so he can shoot off some snaps. More pics on fixedforum.it and check out more of Angelo's work on his blog and flickr! Thanks for the heads up Berlin Fixed!
