The Radavist

Oh hell yeah! Definitely checking this out on Sunday.

Illustrator Tod Kapke just forwarded me two pieces he worked on for Bicycling Magazine. Check out his blog here and be on the look out for the illustrations in Bicycling next month!

I cannot imagine the amount of work that went into this model. It took two brothers 9 years to construct and the level of detail is maddening. This particular scene is relevant. Even the stance of the fallen rider was planned.

Check the rest of the pictures and the article out here on the Dailymail.

You could always build a mini in your house! This aint the typical Bushwick loft-steez, this is a really well designed house with an integrated miniramp. Love the rafters and the overall space. The mini fits within the architecture…

We can all thank Kyle for scanning in Pedal Speed 1. This pic is really great. Love the vintage path racer hanging in the window adorned with Williams cottered inch pitch cranks and an underslung stem.

The architecture looks pretty interesting too.

“Forever” bicycles by Ai Weiwei, 2003

Clever idea; 6 years old and I never saw it? As Nicole points out, reminds me of a massive bike pile at some post-bike event party.

My good friend Devotion just finished up his first frame. The complete bike is stunning and definitely a noble steed worthy of his already insane stable. All of his builds seem effortless and completely comfortable. Read below as he describes what went into this work of art…

The build of the bike was very much inspired by British “club racers” and “all-rounders” of the 50’s and 60’s. Being my first frame, I liked the idea that a single bike could be built to be ridden with a number of intentions. British racers used to ride geared/fendered bikes to the track, often carrying a spare set of track wheels on fork mounted “sprint carriers” and then convert it to a “path racer”…only to re-install the fenders, brakes and other bits before heading home.

Knowing that I will never part with this first frame, I wanted a versatile build that I could set up in a number of ways for the rest of my life. The clamp-ons and 120mm rear spacing mean I can set it up as a fixed-gear, 5 or 10 speed with relative ease. Truth be told, I just wanted an excuse to gather all of the cool old Campy bits. While it does have fender clearance, it’s more of a vintage racing bike (traditional racing geometry of 73 degrees parallel) than a vintage rando bike.

Superuse is a collection of designers whose intent is to reuse and reappropriate scrap building and industrial materials. Spearheaded by by 2012 Architects and Suite75, the collective is pushing the boundaries of green design.

Once again, the Dutch nail it! Below are chairs from Bomdesign.

Viktor Vauthier has some pics from a recent filming session with Super Ted. That’s a crazy wall ride! Great setup. Can’t wait to see the video.

Check out this series of ad campagns Aduana did for Absolut vodka! Strange ads… but beautiful.

Thanks Steve!

I am really really feeling these paintings by Borja Bonaque.

If the stark and geometric architectural paintings aren’t enough, there’s always this group of skate decks…

I go to Philly for the day and this happens? Looks like KAWS, the artist who’s work has literally blown the hell up over the past few years did a collaboration with Trek (do they even know who he is?) to paint Armstrong’s Livestrong bike.

wow.

Another Toolbox from Ch0mb0! See it bigger here!

Kevin, aka Demoncats, has just upped some of his Monster Track X pics. Head over and checkem out. Who’s this jackass making the Egyptian hand signals?

Also, DELCO!

Sasha, you dirty dog. Can’t wait to see this built up!

As a continuation of his Toolbox comic series, Ch0mb0 has just released a new one. Pretty funny. See it bigger here.

Taliesen is one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpieces. Not as well known as Falling Water or Unity Temple, it’s still a functioning design studio to this day. One of their current projects is their Mod.Fab. Modern prefabricated architecture just does something for me. Something about being able to move with your house and still live in style and comfort. Albeit Bauhaus “style”… but still

I can dream right?

Description:

“unplugged,” relying on low-consumption fixtures, rainwater harvesting, greywater re-use, natural ventilation, solar orientation, and photovoltaics.

Sounds like my Shift House!
