NoFreno Magazine

Please sir, can you tell me where I can get me a copy of NoFreno Magazine by Lucia Castro? Muy bien! I see some spreads on Busyman Bicycles and Ashcan!

Liz Hatch x Bicycling Magazine

If you've wondered who that gorgeous blonde Pro is who keeps whizzing around the bike blogs is, it's Liz Hatch, here she is with some words of advice for Bicycling Magazine. Thanks Mr. Macbeth!

Currently downloading my copy of Gutter Bunny, a great e-zine by Nikola in London. Damn good read, and a refreshing departure from the eco-friendly, recycled stock and ad heavy journals that are currently filling the blogosphere. Nice one Nik, looking forward to the next issue already. Check out the Gutter Bunny blog to download your copy! Her other blog's quite interesting as well.

Kissin in the back row, that’s how we missed the movie

The boys at Maroubra Cyclery posted a link to a great resource: an ever-growing scanned collection of old-school BMX mags from the 80s. Quite an education in retro graphics! Thanks lads!

All day I hold a red flag and watch the traffic pass me by

The Bike Blog Book just posted some sample images from The Selby, another of my favourite reads, but I was surprised to see this snap, it's Kelvin Ho rollin' on his Merckx. I met Kelvin a couple of years ago when both he and I were shot for Deus Ex Machina's 'The Fixers' exhibition. He also just popped up in one of Australias national newspaper's glossy mag insert, Wish, profiling his career as a designer and architect. See? Riding a bike can take you places!

And I just got to know, should I forgive and find somebody else?

Yes please. How I would love to peruse through these covers... I wonder if Italian Cycling Journal scanned the rest of Bicycle Guide from October 1986?

There's a soul suckin strap at the top of my spine

Possibly one of the greatest downhill photographs of all time, Shaun Palmer for Dirt Magazine, Jan/Feb '98.

I kiss her sandaled foot, she's my honey pearl

Always good to see a Hoffman Bikes Evel Knievel frame popping up... This one was spotted at Dave Skooter Farm's by the Sideburn boys. Thanks GI and BP!!!

Keep a movin' with that plough, driver man will show you how

Looks like the very swank magazine Mens File has caught onto the fact that quality vintage cycling wool is a thing to be desired and sought after. But we all knew that already. Should be a good read, if you can get your hands on a copy. Speaking of swank magazines, the lads from Sideburn had the drop first!

When Jesus comes

DMOTE's cover for Monster Children 17. One day I'll own one of his original skully paintings. And seeing as we're all passing through the sign of Scorpio at the moment, it's all about sex and death.

Took a sniff of toncho from his coke can

Oh Shanaze. Greatly looking forward to London 2012. Chicks and Bikes!

Sable & Argent – Closer look

Welcome to Sydney's latest caterer to the two-wheeled enthusiast, specifically those of a scooter and pedal powered inclination, Sable & Argent. Dropped in there this arvo after finding out about it through Le Pista Resistance, it was, apparently, the first stop on their Coffee Crawl ride (unattended, unfortunately, the Lady Cop is off the road due to a tequila induced incident and I was having too much fun riding around on a motorcycle...). I remember thinking, 'great, another euro or yankee shop catering to the discerning cyclist, well designed with great attention to detail that I'll never get to hang out in on a regular basis apart from Deus Ex Machina' until I saw the address: 74 Bourke St WOOLLOOMOOLLOO! Hey, um, that's in Sydney..!
So imagine the smile inside my mind when I walked in and spied a gorgeous Cinelli Vigorelli with B-43s and a Paul crankset mingling with a vintage Vespa, Biomegas, Spring Court shoes, a bookshelf full of design books and an espresso machine! Heaven! Well, almost.
That was the bicycle half (not mentioning the saddles by Busyman Bicycles, the workshop dressed up like a surgery room from House... I didn't actually venture over to the scooter half (there was a being on one of my shoulders screaming, 'scooters??? NOOOOOOO!!!'
Beside the fact that this is a Mecca for all Eastern Suburbs two wheeled types looking for a brunch surrounded by the most delectable eye candy, this is also a very capable workshop for all bicycle and scooter repairs, custom builds and the latest in bicycle fashion and couture.
What impressed me the most about Sable & Argent is their tagline, 'Anyone on two wheels is a friend'. A philosophy about which, especially in Sydney, we need to be constantly vigilant, and enjoy the comraderie which this will bring about. Sydney, where two wheeled riders, both motorised and pedalised, are a minority and need to band together for strength.
Looking forward to seeing what the breakfasts are like. Here's the blog. The address is above. The phone numbers and hours are (02) 9357 4699. Mon - Fri: 8am-7pm, Sat: 8am-4pm and Sun: Closed.
