Dia-Compe and di-colour seem to go hand in hand.
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.

Unknown fixed speed, Commonwealth Avenue, Boston
Another one from the archives back in 2012, that I never got around to posting.
Those clincher bolts on the headstem better be tight as with no compression bolt that thing is a ticking time bomb let alone a source of impalement if they came a cropper. I like the almost all blue fit out even including the tires.

Kona Paddy Wagon single speed, Pakington St, Geelong
I've never fully understood the theory of not cutting the steering tube down once you have been fitted for your bike, unless the owner was expecting to undergo a growth spurt or two different people are using the bike? Not cutting down steerer tube rant over, I like the use of two different types of handle bar tapes which is something I haven't seen before and all the components work well together.
