  • le car Hiroshi Fujiwara's Etchins updated with WHITE tyres..

    I'm going to have to say - I don't like it. Too gaudy; bejewelled drops? Sorry, just... no.

    I imagine when he rides that bike there is a trio of virgins riding in front spreading delicate rose petals (a la coming to america) before him as to prevent the tyres being tainted by the common tarmac.

    Let's not kid ourselves, here, that bike is highly unlikely to ever see tarmac, except if it's looking out a window, gazingly longingly at the freedom it will be so cruelly denied.

    This is the bike equivalent of that pristine pair of original Jordans that some collector keeps in a hermetically-sealed box 'just to have them'. I mean, the Paul Smith Mercian was silly enough, but at least some of those have a vague chance of being put to use.

    I see very little difference between Hiroshi's Hetchins and this:

    They're both going to sit somewhere, looking pretty, and will never be in danger of fulfilling their true calling in life.
