Richard James x Condor cycles

Posted in Uncategorized on July 23, 2008 by gumsole

For Saville Row tailor Richard James, his penchant for quality and design is applied in a different manner here as together with Condor Cycles, the duo create this full carbon fiber bike. Based on Condor Cycles’ pre-existent road bike frame, slight tweaks are in-line including a higher bottom bracket to compliment the bike’s fixed gear nature. Technicalities aside, the bike is a visual marvel with golden highlights throughout, hand-painted touches and Condor logo shaped bottle holder.

On his blog, Kanye has unveiled his one of one (none before it and none to come) custom made, extra large, extra luxurious Louis Vuitton backpack. The backpack features Louis Vuitton’s signature Damier Canvas print with light brown leather trim and it took a year and a half to make. However, don’t look for this to be in stores anytime soon but expect the manufacture of fakes to go through the roof.
