That's the trouble with a new project, you think you have a vision of what it's going to end up like then your head is turned by yet another stunna (as The Sun used to say), usually from Japan.I stole this image from Matt & Dean's Blog because it's so fuckin' glorious. Is that a K model front wheel? I know it's stating the obvious, but those Japanese shops just see potential in combinations of parts, contrasts in scale and blurring of lines that absolutely no one else does.
Maybe I should just try to be original and stop looking at other people's bikes. Damn.

All I can say is Bradleys Spanish Bar, Hanway Place, just over the other side of Oxford St from Soho Square. (Once) great jukebox... head for the tiny basement, drink the day and night away on San Miguel. You will not be short of interesting company or a hangover to remember. Don't eat the food.
