Icarus
“Il mio nome è Ian Sutton e Icarus Frames è il culmine della mia formazione ed esperienza nel mondo della costruzione dei telai. Ho cominciato a costruirli quando ho lasciato il college per partecipare alla Yamaguchi Frame Building School a Rifle, Colorado. La formazione è stata al 100% di tipo one-to-one con uno dei più grandi costruttori di telai; in collaborazione con Koichi Yamaguchi ho appreso le basi, dall'inizio alla fine, e anche l'arte e le sfumature. Nello stesso anno ho visitato costruttori che ammiravo e ho voluto lavorare con loro per parlare del settore e decidere se dovevo lavorare per conto mio (…)”. Icarus Frame.

BIKES (installation) cardboard and glue life size 2003
"Chris Gilmour (Manchester, 1973) ha imposto una logica rigorosa alla sua opera, egli fa oggetti utilizzando solo cartone e colla. Non esiste una struttura di sostegno, nessun telaio in legno o in metallo. Le sue interpretazioni di oggetti di uso quotidiano vengono create in aderenza all'utilizzo di un materiale puro e unico, ma al posto del marmo o del bronzo delle statue classiche, ha scelto uno dei più umili e comuni materiali del nostro tempo industriale". (di Guido Bartorelli)

Fixed Gear London ha ha realizzato una bici per Vans. La bici è disponibile in nero opaco con accenti in nero lucido, che si è rivelata davvero piacevole. La maggior parte delle bici mostra il caratteristico disegno a scacchi della firma Vans, che grazie al tono su tono nero non risulta troppo forte.

Fixed Gear London has built a Vans bike. The bike comes in matt black with shiny black accents, which turned out really nice. Most of the bike features the signature Vans check pattern, which thanks to the black on black design does not come out too strong.
