SHADES OF AUTUMN

SUBROSA MALUM

Bike: Subrosa Malum Fixed
Location: Johnson St Fitzay
Owner: Is this YOU? Email us!


Spied this slick piece of work on my way to the office this morning. Very nice. Minimal. HOT.
You can't go by chrome x black for a classic bike that will never go out of style. Hats off!

More info out RAD Subrosa bikes here!

BTW: Happy Friday everyone!

CHAMPS ON CHAPS

Bike: Vintage Resprayed Track with very beautiful lugs
Location: Lucky Coq Prahran
Owner: Had a big one by the looks of things!

I live right near Chapel St and I wish that I could tell you that sights like these are a rare occurrence.

Unfortunately drunkies like to use our helmets as rubbish bins on the regular. Best thing about living so close to the Chap? If you are ever bored on the weekend watching the crowd get kicked out of Revs on Saturday when it's time for cleaning is pure entertainment.

OH SUMMER BR!GHTS

Location: The Vineyard, Toorak Road, Chapel Street & Richmond.

Get your colourway set for a Summer 12.

Dust off the grey days & take a cue from these neon-tropical rides!

Cocktails & Moonlit nights.

F*CK YEAH FAT FRAMES

Location: Chapel Street

I'm channelling a more robust looking frame for my new bike. Something Big Boned like these examples.

MELB CENT TOP TUBE FLAIR

Bike: Top Tube Flair
Location: Asian Central
Owner: TBC!!! Email us if this is you

Spotted this sweet ride on our shopping trip into the cbd for new shades. 

Top tube pad looks cool... but what's the purpose? Apart from looking cool?

So your thigh is comfy when resting at lights because you can't track stand like me? 

To protect your top tube from scratches when you chain it up?

Or purely for aesthetics?

I'm intrigued

LITTLE TIPS

Bike: The Black Panther

Location: Chaps, I'm assuming

Owner: TBC, email us if this is you 

Funny, I have no recollection of taking these pictures. WELL, can you blame me when the day started out like this:

We had all been at Good Vibes celebrating Melanesia's hens day. Good Vibes = Good Times. 

Front View:

Bars:

Obligatory Brooks Saddle:

My dedication to this blog surprises me: 

Later that evening...

COLOUR BLOCKER

Bike: Colour Blocker
Location: IKEA Carpark Richmond
Owner: TBC, email us if this is you


Colour Blocking is soooooo Feb 2011, all the cool kids are getting on board.


Who didn't learn this in primary school art class?

ON TREND: How cool is this starfuckers saddle?

Does anyone know where you can still get these?


I snapped this bike when I popped in to Goldcross to pump up my tire which had annoyingly become flat on the yarra trail. 
I actually took the pic with Loz in mind as she is currently throwing around some ideas for her new build that is going to be influenced by a popular toy released in the 1970s. I can't give to much away at this point in time, but mark my words- her new bike is going to be beautiful. 


I love the simple primary colour palette of this ride, the simplicity works so well on many levels.


I am also a massive fan of this colour blocking trend:

GETTING ON BOARD.
How rad:

I think I need more colour in my life... Melbourne fashion is so black and grey, it gets a bit gloomy like our weather!

THE GREEN MACHINE

Bike: The Green Machine

Location: Melbourne

Owner: Brenton Clarke

Big thanks to Brenton for sending through pics of his gorgeous steed. I popped in to his shop with my poodle Ziggy in tow for a visit. The colourway reminds me of the incredible hulk and this bike that I learnt how to ride fixed on. 

This is what a colab of Brenton's bike x Ziggy would look like:

Ha ha as if you would ever do that to your pooch! Poor dawg :(

Brenton has now retired this bike and is using the wheels on his new ride, which I LOVE, so much it's crim.

The Green Machine is just taking 5, hanging out in the garage where all good bikes go to die... RIP little friend:

TOMS TREASURES

OOPS

I was flicking through my camera and realised that I totally forgot to post these beauties... I am so lame

These bikes both belong to Tom who lives with OCGC member and all around sick chick Georgie.

We took the bikes for a spin out the front - you can get massive air off the second bike over the speed bumps in their street... RAD

FRESH MATERIAL

Ergh a little short on material of late. You might say we've been on radness sabbatical.

Alas, this is rad - Phew, thanks Dude. Nice decal & sticker coordination.
