Monkey Like Shiny Expanding Rack

Saw over at my favorite renegade fabricator's blog, Monkey Like Shiny, that he whipped up a smart little expanding rack for his lady-friend over the weekend.




Very smart design. If you look closely, you notice that part of it is actually made out of a pair of 70's Schwinn road bars.

Also, check out this chariot project he's been working on:


Insane!

Bent Basket

Check out this basket/rack design from industrial designer Faris Elmasu.



It's really an interesting design. And while I'm sure it's just a touch less functional and more expensive (no price indicated on the website) than a Wald basket, it sure does look good and it's great seeing people putting in the effort with this sort of thing.

Read more about it here.
Seen first over at Doubleohtwo.

Paul Smith for Rapha

Rapha just released a new line of Paul Smith designed luxury luggage and accessories (Did you know he was into cycling?).





It's a sharp looking collection as you'd expect. Although I will admit, I bought a Paul Smith wallet from the Triumph series he did a few seasons back and was thoroughly disappointed in the quality. Maybe I'm just unusually hard on wallets or it was just a fluke?

Billykirk U-Lock Holster

I've been a fan of Billykirk for a while now. They put out some really outstanding handmade leather bags and accessories (with a price tag to match).
I saw over at Selectism yesterday that they are getting ready to release a classy u-lock holster/pouch.



It looks really sharp. Their attention to detail in construction methods is always outstanding. It's not listed for sale on their site just yet, but watch for a release this spring. It will be produced in black, brown, and natural. Expect a price tag well into the triple digits. I bet it'd look great with one of Trackos new denim workman's hats!

In the mean time, if you have a bespoke artisanal itch that you just need to scratch*, you can head over and pick up one of their frame bags:
