Thursday, July 30th, 2009a great friend of ours Benedict Radcliffe was featured in Weloveyouso, one of our favourite blogs,
I saw this lambo in progress, and even now it still blows my mind
sickatron. here’s some of what they had to say about it:
“a wireframe model of a Lamborghini Koenig Countach built over the course of five months with 10mm welded steel tubes. The result looks like a three-dimensional blueprint, or a car viewed through x-ray goggles.
We think its pretty incredible–craftsman wizardry and childplay, both carried to their logical extremes.”
however it seems that since then they deleted it??? weird, it’ll probably be back online in a minute, here

Monday, July 27th, 2009saggy bags
‘megatron’ and ‘stealth’, another COLLABO, this between FTC and SAG
I’m definately feeling these, and I’m sorta becoming more and more distant from the allure of messenger bags – having been the standard in the ‘scene’ in the beginning; having taken-off from the bicycle courier culture, though now fixed gear bikes are diverging and cliques forming, and more emphasis is put on function of equipment for more speciali(z)ed use, like with the 700cmx ‘movement’. I reckon it’s pretty good as people are experimenting, or in this case (having spoken to many others in lahndahn) going back to what we were used to i.e. backpacks
Messenger bags obviously have their place, especially in actual couriering, where the ability to swing your bag infront of you and open the front flap gives obvious advantages, although from personal experience, and for what I normally carry with me (camera, jacket, coupla tools, keys etc) backpacks suit my needs loads better, with the ability to loosen it off to hang on your lower back (allowing your back to dry off) nudging the nail into the messenger bag coffin
anyway, I like backpacks, I like my waterproof eastpak backpack, and I definately like the look of these backpacks
get ‘em here
