MFG x LEE part 2

2011-11-01T18:22:00.005+08:00

Part of the collaboration with Lee Philippines was to built them 3 fixed gear bikes. The City Commuter (Orange), The Pursuit (Blackout) and The Classic Track (White). We had a great time building these bikes. We used a lot of high-end parts on them and all of the bikes are using a custom Ave Maldea frames. We also incorporated Lee buttons on the grips. Lee will be giving these bikes away to 3 lucky individuals.

clipless fixed gear bikes in Ubud, Bali. I have the hand it to these lads, the roads in Ubud are a bit hilly, like little Baguio, San Juan. The purple trick fixed is owned by a ten year old footballer. I gave him and his team mates Bicycle Rights stickers and quickly left to avoid looking like some dirty pedalphile. hehehehe

2010-07-28T00:43:00.001+08:00

The US based pinoy team Sycip brothers are very well known in the bike building circles internationally. They built their interpretation of a fixed gear commuter. Now take a closer look at the where the brakes are located. Disc brake on the bottom bracket. Pure genius!

I like!....Quoc Pham cycling shoes from London

2010-07-13T04:14:00.002+08:00

Sleek and elegant, Quoc Pham shoes are made for the urban enthusiast and weekend tourist, hopping on and off, in and out of places. They feel like bicycle shoes but don't necessarily look like them: no chunky soles, no Velcro straps, no inability to walk in them, no extra bright colour combinations. They are perfect to wear at dinner or in the office, yet comfortable as a sports shoe should be.

Cinelli Laser...It's Back!

2010-06-26T13:33:00.000+08:00

"Today thanks to the rebirth of steel and people like yourselves, a dream is about to be realised: the Cinelli Laser will return. Not just as a museum display, but as a track machine; rigid and lively, more so even than its predecessor 20 years ago. All the original protagonists are ready and motivated; Andrea Pesenti who built 300 throughout the 1980’s, myself Antonio Colombo who thought them up, Paolo Erzegovesi who engineered them, and Emilvano Montorio who pulled out the tubes. New in the band will be Alessandra Cusatelli, my partner, and Cinelli design co-ordinator of the last 10 years. As always, it will only be available in limited editions. The kids are alright!”- Cinelli Team

Massan for Leader Bikes from Brandon Finks Video/Animation on Vimeo.

Project I worked on with Macaframa films for Leader Bike commercial featuring Massan. I was one of three editors on the project and created all of the motion graphics and title sequences (check out the animation at the very end of the video, it's pretty cool-for more go to vimeo.com/finktoons). This was another project with an insanely short deadline, all motion graphics work was created in one night. Produced in early 2010, camera work by Colin Arlen, Colby Elrick; edited By Colin Arlen, COlby Elrick and Brandon FInk, motion graphics/animation by Brandon Fink music by Massan
