Pista single speed, Collins St, Melbourne




I just like how the handle bar tape matches the saddle. 

Reid Cycles Griffon single speed, Swanston St, Melbourne




I love the blue and orange combination tire and rim. Guaranteed to standout in a crowd. 

Boneshaker penny farthing, Collins St, Melbourne





This gems, located outside the offices of the Bicycle Victoria is their mascot. Nice to see the bell is colour co-ordinated and finished off with a Brooks saddle.
I love BC's motto of 'more people cycling more often'.

I saw this gem at the welcome back event for Cadel Evans. It probably would work better with a chain. Not sure how it would roll as a pub bike.

Le Coq Sportif single speed, Federation Square, Melbourne

The french flag depending on what side you are veiwing it from. Intentional? I think so.

A stunning peice of functional design, finished with a Brooks saddle. Nice

I  was heading back to the YMCA, where I was staying the day before heading back to Australia and noticed this Panasonic sport 1000. Love the reversed brake levers.

Heading on my way back from MIT and found this beauty along Massachusetts Avenue.
