Keepin' Two Wheels Sexy

Based in Perth, Western Australia, Sexy Bicycles is a new boutique producer creating designer bicycles for contemporary cyclists. The first offering from Sexy Bicycles ‘Release One’ consists of nine limited edition models, each model coming stamped and numbered in production runs of either 9, 18, or 27. Sexy Bicycles use only the best components custom made specifically. And at $1550 AUD (or about $1360 US Greenbacks) it's a shit ton of cocky for an un-obscene price tag.

Saber Flag 2010

Via: Hypebeast

Misunderstood by right-wing fanatics across the States, graffiti artist Saber decided to produce his take on the American flag; designing atop the stars and stripes, Saber created a series of flag murals, each unique, with designs based on what The United States means to the artist as well as things unrelated, that are nevertheless personal to him. The flag series was captured on video and became a finalist in a state wide campaign for health care reform, a project much supported by Saber. Print versions of the flag are now available to purchase here. Check out this video for further information on the whole project entitled Flag, 2010.
