An exercise in average. Nothing really stands out but as such it all stands out or something like that.
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.

Cyclops MTB, Swantson St, Melbourne
Well the Melbourne International Comedy Festival [link] has wrapped up for another year and as such thought a theme relevant post was in order. Daniel Kitson [link] was the stand out for me, even if I only saw him MCing a variety gig at The Provincial Hotel, ad-libbing like a man possessed with the crowd.
When it comes to bikes used primarily for advertising purposes, at what point does one draw the line? Either way the aerodynamics are shot on this puppy.

Gitane fixed speed conversion, Bourke St, Melbourne,
A bike fit for a King, Queen, Jack or even a joker. Jesus and the Doctor would most likely approve also. Taking the playing cards in the spokes to the next logical conclusion.

Quasimodo's Orion MTB, Swanston St, Melbourne
I'm gathering the Hunchback of Notre-Dame has moved to a place with less inclement weather than the north central France. Although given this is Melbourne we are talking about, his choice may well be debatable.

Bedazzled Giant single speed, Brunswick St, Melbourne
There is bike bling and there is bike bling. This is most defiantly a case of the latter. If Martha Stewert was given a bedazzler [link] and left to her own devices, this would most likely be the most logical conclusion. WoW. the brakes levers as bar ends is pretty sweet also.
