The Biketorialist

This blog is to bikes, what The Sartorialist is to fashion, only a little bit more tongue in cheek. The blog is a homage to Scott Schuman's one The Sartorialist, if you haven't checked it out do so: www.thesartorialist.com The plan. Hit the streets. Scope out bicycles that show a personal flair. The method is a Nikon D90 and 50mm 1:1.4G lens. The execution. Lots of background blur. Feel free to comment and identify any of the unknown bikes.

Reynolds single speed conversion, Harbour esplanade, Melbourne













The yellow rim really makes this otherwise monochrome construction really pop.

Previous to spotting this I would have never thought that lime green and orange would work. I stand corrected.
