Rhys Coren, taking time away from his artwork (which we rather like, we do) to provide important analysis of the fixed gear trickster’s direct insult to the BMX aesthetic. To the uninitiated (hands raised), it’s about the pedaling. Money: “But how do you explain that, by regressing to a former evolutionary state, forced to desecrate the element of style, twisting around on a vehicle far too big for it’s use and obstacle, is in anyway progressing?” You may look to The Come Up for further education, or you may simply return to your day.

For those with dual citizenship in both the cult of lever espresso machines and the supporters club of La Pavoni (card-carrying), please observe what happens when 70′s industrial design is embraced by the warm Italian hand of LP: the Eurobar a Leva. A beautiful product of that moment’s aesthetic, restored in full by Orphan Espresso. Available for new ownership right here.
