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

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'.

Matthew Reamer's 'Scraper Bikes' series
Matthew Reamer's portrait/documentary series called 'Scraper Bikes' shows BMX owners from Oakland, who modify their bikes, in part, as a reaction to the violence that permeates their neighbourhoods. Here's to a world free of violence.

Custom bicycle tea cosy, Federation Square, Melbourne
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.

Panasonic single speed, Huntington Ave, Boston
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.
