Bicycle Revolutions and Affinity Collaberation

Bryan and Jason from Bicycle Revolutions and Affinity teamed up on a frame last year. Last summer I delivered the frames to Bryan in Philly. He built the frame up shortly after with a very nice group. Suntour Surperbe Pro Track

Long Week

This week has been a crazy one to say the least. I managed to run into some characters and good art work along the way!


This stuff is back, this is the most snow I have seem since I've moved out East.
 Ran into some friends from Philly that were going to Boston for a polo event at my favorite dumpling spot Vanessa's.
 Courtney hit me up to grab her photo of her sweet haircut.
 I came across this during community service.
 These Japanese tourist were so nice, they asked for directions and we traded portraits.

Lets see what the weekend has in store.

Pink and Gold


I was waiting to post these till I got my film back from my local developer, 
I was going for a vintage feel of the portrait with some digital detailed shots of components.
This is the first bike that I remember Bryan of Bicycle Revolutions building this and is part of the reason I asked him for a job. 


 Expired Fuji 800 film
 Pink Brown and Gold
 A nice build with all the bells and whistles!
 Riding in comfort.
 Every bike built in the shops gets one of these stickers.
The man doesn't skip on any component.

So this is round 1, I will will be posting one of Bryan's bikes once a day along with other post.
