Bike porn

i dont often like these super modern carbon bikes, but that felt looks fucking ace.

Felt is definitely top drawer.
Cervelo would be excellent, but just looks odd with that dead vertical seat post.

P3? P-fucking 3??? Talk to the hand!

P4 baby (I also posted in anti porn)

You should rethink your Graphics imo. The font looks dreadful detracts, from the final aesthetic of the bikes.

Velocity == Antiporn.. ;)

Me too, it rules...

Not since I got the new elasticated jobbies, Pampers® technology... Innit?

Be careful, they can still leak.
My son tests them to breaking point, and not all of them pass :(

Not these babies...

Way better than my old ones, check out those leakage spots... Tut, tut...

Anti-Porn, she's left the stickers on her Deep V's, the slut ;)

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.

Damn right Don.

some of us care about the important stuff.

I'd be happy to race on one of your frames next season

To be honest, I concur that the graphic look wank, you could always hire a graphic designer to help with the typeface for the bike. I agree that it usually doesn't matter and it's all about the bike but unfortantely, people in this world are vain.

That's not keeping it simple with an aggresive looking typeface, keeping it simple would be using helvetica for instance.

I didnt mean this as a slight, just an observation. I wont be buying one of your bikes anyway. Im not so shallow that the typeface of the brand name would stop me if I was, however for the whole package it would look better for your brand IMO.

Im not having a pop. Its constructive criticism. I dont mean rip anyone off but Parlee have a nice simple, bold, type face. Something appealing and recognisable I think you would benefit from that kind of image is all.

Perhaps you could go for a Celtic type and call them just 'Walker' its simpler, and looks better.

Was the font on that bike a few posts up suggested by a pro?

Its all subjective of course, everything is. I just thought Id tell you what I thought.

As I say not having a go.

I like this, I think it would look better than the graphic you currently use but as I say its subjective, you probably dont like it but thats the point I suppose!

Clearly this isn't the right place. But! Your's is too weighted to the left. That "w" looks lonely all out there on its own.

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

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.

I'm impressed the only famous person I ever met was Dierks Bentley

Oh, the pics of Robin Williams and I were better, imho. I have a feeling L.A. might not be too happy with who has agreed to speak at NAHBS 09... Could get ugly if they are both there.

God, tall frames are sexy. :)
