Le rouge, le bleu

Aw, cute! Found some old pics in the archives of The Contessa, resplendent with her Croce D'Aune Deltas and levers, and Lady Cop – fresh as!

True love on King Street

How sweet it is.
"Let's go get some sushi."
"OK, after that, you wanna go grab a Coopers and sit in the park?"
"I'd be down with that."

You don't need eyes to see, you need vision

Jessica Hart. God, how I love a good diastema. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I reckon that's May Lane. Trend Land.

I don't need the sour side of love

Spotted on King Street this arvo. Made in France = TROUBLE!!!

Subrosa Malum @ Hell On Wheels

Dropped by Hell On Wheels this morning, always good to see what's new in there, no other BMX or skate shop in Sydney quite like it. The boys are right on it. Just arrived, the Subrosa Malum Fixed. Pretty sweet ride, can't wait to see a few thrashed and locked up outside the Townie on a Sunday morning...

Lovin' the Salba in the background, too.

Speedwell Club Racer

Wandered past Newtown Old Wares this arvo and came across this Speedwell Club Racer with the most awe-inspiring pinstriping. Check out those rims! Obviously a custom build for a Mr. Ian O'Hara, so sentimentally it would be worth a lot more than the $450 price tag it had on the saddle.

Chicks on Bikes @ Carriage Works

I actually rode past her bike locked up outside Carriage Works (where Le Pista Resistance kids play polo) on the weekend and thought, 'whoa!'. Hey vivacious red haired girl with your turquoise bike, bring it over and I'll give it a good going over with some WD40 and some steel wool! I'll get it looking like a million bucks! Chicks on Bikes!!!

Lady Cop reclining in Camperdown Park

Specialized P3

She was a good bike. 1994. Rode it for 3 days in town before it was nicked outside the old Phonecian Club on Broadway. that's why they invented D-locks, kids. If anyone comes across it, kneecap them for me, and message me here. Reward offered. Old school BCF piece in Newtown, Phibs. Word.

Dunlop Factory, Sydney

K. Rees sent thru this link to some shots of the abandoned Dunlop factory in St Peters, Sydney. Apparently this site is very popular with young people that like to take drugs and dance to loud and repetitive music, and paint on walls with spraycans. Can't wait to check it out.

Sydney Motorcycle Wreckers

This could very well be my longest ever post, but only in an effort to try and portray the overload of visual imagery I experienced this morning as I entered the upstairs stockpile of Sydney Motorcycle Wreckers. I simultaneously felt like I was standing in a vintage fashion warehouse where the cast-off clothes of a thousand bikes were hanging, and inside a morgue or abattoir, surrounded by their dissected steel and alloy internals. On the kind invitation of Dan, I met Jay, the owner, who knows the exact location of his entire inventory, and who very graciously let me shoot these images. Man, you could build up one hell of a Gundam suit with all those parts, or MANY killer streetfighters. If you need any hard to find part or have a crazy concept for a completely insane bike give these guys a call.
