This feels a bit more like guerilla marketing than actually a practical fruit delivery device, but you never know. Either way it works.
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.

Peugeot single speed, Burke St, Melbourne
I can't get over the Dia-Compe cantilever U-brakes. Very elegant design. The blue really stands out through the use of white rims and tires without overpowering it as a whole and the red of the bar tape matching the head tube badge.

love love love it. the diagonal colouring is subtle but the more I looked at it the more I noticed it. black bar tape matching rear rim and tire and the white saddle matching the front rim and tire. Genius.

Pake Rum Runner, Swanston St, Melbourne
A very really minimalist brake lever and love the retro turbo saddle matching the colour of the front forks and headstem. The Chris King headset also blends seamlessly with the frame.

Samson Single speed, Gertrude St, Melbourne
Love the chrome lugging on this Samson frame with a Brooks' saddle on a carbon post and you can't go past the Chris King headset. Nice combination.

Cecil Walker, single speed, Gertrude St, Melbourne
The lugging on this Cecil Walker is solid. The headset on this puppy is sweet with a nice combination of gear with a patina that only pushing a bunch of miles can produce.

Repco Tracker, 10 speed MTB, Smith St, Melbourne
Most likely not any different to how it came out of the factory, but it works with nice retro bike lock to finish it off.
