KRINK

Bike: Krink Fixx
Location: RMIT
Owner: TBC. Email us if this is you!

Having just started a new job on the "other side" of the city, I have been going out on little missions on my lunch break on the search for Rad Bikes. There are shitloads of bikes parked around RMIT on Swanston, you know because students are pov and they can't afford the whole $2.30 for a Metcard so they ride. When I was in uni I found a yearly Metcard at (haha) Seven nightclub so I was totally SET for the year. I then blew the dough I saved on goon. Awesome.

For those who don't know, KRINK (KR's ink) make totally bauce markers for, well, leaving your mark on shit. Like Poscas but way more drippy.

Check them out here

Don't Come Gallery had a Krink show last year. I miss you Don't Come. Why'd you have to shut down assholes?

CHILLIN LIKE A VILLAIN

Bike: Chrome BMX "Villain"
Location: Lygon St, Carlton
Owner: Is mean

This bike has been chained to this bus timetable sign for like almost a week now.
Have you no respect Mr Owner? Or did you leave it there when you realised that you couldn't ride home, and now you can't remember where it is?

It's Autumn in Melbourne. Note the build up of leaves in the spokes. I might have to rescue this pup by way of bolt cutters if its still there next week. I can practically hear it weeping.

STRAWBERRIES & CREAM

Bike: Strawberries & Cream.
Location: Sandringham Line
Owner: Damo

Another gem from Damo's extensive bike collection.

Unfortunately this time we had to PT this cutie home after Damo slashed both the tires on some grate at the rooftop of the Foundry. Like, how dare they protect their precious rooftop. Trespassing is cool.

Also cool:
Makes you drool:

I LOVE LOLLIES

SLICE LIKE A NINJA, CUT LIKE A RAZOR BLADE

Bike: Rad
Location: Jam Factory, Chaps
Owner: TBC, email us if this is YOU!

The first thing that caught my eye on this bike was the top tube pad, which Melbourne is seeing a lot more of these days. Loving the throwback flaayyverrr.

There's something about white trim. It looks so fresh, so clean.

COOL detail on the decal.

Talk about saving the best for last: How bauce is the seat? It's Italian baby!

NATIONAL EQUILIBRIUM

Bike: National Lowrider
Owner: Not sure
Location: Church Street, Richmond

Variety is the Spice of Life.

Apparently we have been posting 'too many fixies'..... So I thought I'd throw this into the mix, as it too is pretty rad..


Daddy I want a Lowrider too.


COLOUR CORRECT

Helmet: Rosebank StackHat
Owner: Excellent eye for detail
Location: Swanston Street, Melb


We've noticed the StackHat is experiencing somewhat of a reinvention.

Sim's been rocking a white one for quite some time. I used to have a Hot Pink one and my Bro, Black. If you were a kid in the late 80's you probably had one.

I don't think mine matched quite as well as this owner.

Colour Coordination A++

WTF!

Bike: WTF Bike... because everytime you see it you say what the fuck?
Location: Melbourne. Various sightings.
Owner: Totes cray cray

We see this dude riding up and down Chaps ALL the time. Trying to steal the attention away from the dude who's two dogs pull him along the road on his rollerblades perhaps.

You both lose to the bearded lady, sorry.

TRENT'S BIKE IS RAD

Bike: 2010 Charge Plug Griffin
Owner: Trent
Location: Crown Heights, Rooftop Skid Jam

We met Trent when we met up with Damo to go to Crown Heights. His bike is very fresh.

This is the Aerospoke wheel, which would come in handy on a windy day.
I don't really understand the science behind this theory as my tuffs are practically the same shape but act as wind catchers on windy days. GO FIGURE!

How cute is the fork detail?

Nice one Trent!

WHITE DELIGHT

Bike: NFI
Location: RMIT Swanston St, Melbourne
Owner: Has good taste

Hey duuuuuude... I like your helmet


High fives for being rad.

Roll on...

My friends were recently in New York. Nick snapped this savvy gem.

Thanks Nick!
