The 2014 Sydney Classic Bicycle Show was held in March which, including the customary sticky heat that accompanies that date, seems like a lifetime ago, especially now, in August, when Sydney is in the middle of a month-long thunderstorm. One of the bikes that graced the concourse was this vintage track frame, converted to an around-towner, built by an iconic Aussie builder: Jim Bundy.

The Bundy name is well known among Australian cyclists, young and old. Jim, now in his 80s, specialised in reliable track bikes for many club racers and pros, a tradition carried on by his son, Peter. This frame was built between 1960 and 1970 by Jim from the lesser-known Falck tubing — a brand more commonly seen in Europe. A few sets, however, obviously made it to Australia.

在第4屆Pushies Galore 腳踏車SHOW發表得手工車與Takhions有著奇怪創新性幾何形狀是不是很美啊!!!

The fourth annual Pushies Galore bicycle show takes place this weekend in Brisbane which, if any of the previous events can be used as a benchmark, will prove to be the most memorable yet. A few surprises will be unveiled at the show, one of which is this pursuit bike, modified and customised by an industrial designer named Brad Marshall.
Brad referenced the innovative geometries of well-known pursuit frames such as the famous Takhions and Textimas. Brad’s creation actually started off as a bog-standard lugged CrMo road frame, to which a new integrated seat mast was brazed, along with aero gussets at each tube junction and a custom fork with a stem integrated into the crown.

潛身飲料店的神秘收藏家

挖掘數十年前場地車的靈魂

單車時代 – 2014年6月18日週三 台北標準時間下午1:37

喜歡單速車的你，是否想要向下挖掘更深一層的故事？

近5、6年崛起的單速車，其實在自行車史當中，文化底藴源遠流長；這些老鋼管的車架之所以珍貴，是由於早期單速車僅限於場地賽的用途，甚至有不少是國家隊專屬打造的系列，數量相當有限。再者，隨著時代變遷與材料應用的進步，已經很少使用鋼管材質的場地車，製造轉型為鋁合金與碳纖等現代化材料。

單速車的風潮從日本吹入台灣，除了追求繽紛的現代感外，也有不少車友從收藏的角度出發，挖掘數十年前場地車的靈魂，暉涵也是從那時開始，投入老單速車的行列，現在已經累積到70支老車架。藉由國內、外同好的分享，暉涵在世界各地尋求選手保留下來的鋼管車，妝點在自營的飲料店裡頭，在咖啡與茶的香味當中，是隱身在台北市區的寶貝。
 
品牌之餘，從管材看門道
鋼管等級能透露場地車的故事

除了仰賴品牌來分類之外，有意收藏的車友可以從管材的等級下手，使用最高等級的材料，意味著這台車是當時的高端車款，工藝上一定也是高規格處理，不失為一個基礎的辨別方法。
