Bike porn

tall frames are ugly. they're like women with big feet.

You've just invented the new sport of fixie-kerning!

Crow perched on fence: Porn, more Porn!

I want in on the fixie-kerning scene and I want in early.

See, the problem is that the graphics were designed around my tartan and headbadge. http://donwalkercycles.com/Welcome.html The font is "Seven Swordsman" and is a celtic font.

It works if you see the headbadge, at least in my ever so humble opinion.

DW

your tartan? didn't you confessed to us a while ago that you has no idea what your family colour is?

you still can keep your badge while changing the font, as an example of design change; the London Underground despite keeping it's original design, minimalising it for contemporary time;

original first roundel;

current roundel;

Potential Porn?

Lets just say I can't make everyone happy with my graphics. I've had it simple and people complained. I went a different direction and got the same feedback. So now, my 3rd effort gets the same level of dissatisfaction.

If my graphics keep you from buying one of my bikes, then you will never know what a great riding bike they are. Buy a bike from someone who is more "hip" than I.

Its the design, geometry and craftsmanship, not the graphics that make a bike what it is.

I wonder if Richard Sachs or Ben Serotta have to justify their work to anonymous groups on the internet who may never buy their frames.

There's always an argument here with DW.

Is he just defensive or being given a hard time?

Oh perrrrrlease! He's started again...........tartan, celtic, blah, blah

Bloody hell. If I built frames for a living I'd put my full name on it too. I'd probably add Mr to the start of it too.

Removing the 'Don' from 'Don Walker' might look odd on a bicycle. The point being a walker is someone who walks and I'm guessing you probably won't be walking around with your bike.

I'm sure this has occurred to Mr Walker already though.

oops, spoke too soon:

Nice bikes btw Don.

The font is "Fat American" and is a wanky font.

didn't he says he has no idea what his family tartan colour is?

I always love the look of a low-pro without the punishment of one, thought the stem is a bit wank as mentioned.

To be honest, I concur that the graphic look wank

You crack me up, Ed... :D

Kudos, that looks alot better.

since someone mentioned Richard Sachs, I decided to have a gander, and behold;

Richard Sachs makes some beautiful stuff... Me likey...

One could be yours Joe, if you can endure the estimated 5 year wait.

should say "wanker" not walker
