Quoc pham fixed shoes from breakbrake17 on Vimeo.
此款車鞋是由我們一位來自倫敦的好友Quoc pham所設計，有別於一般車鞋太運動取向，在日常生活中並不實用，因此Quoc考量到了日常生活的實用性，特地設計了此款外型優雅的車鞋。
此款鞋子的設計重點是讓您穿脫容易，不像一般車鞋設計繁雜，穿脫都需要費上一番工夫。加上簡約時尚的外型，非常容易搭配衣服，可以無時無刻穿著它騎車去約會、上班、逛街，在平常時候也會是一雙很棒的休閒鞋。
共有5種顏色可供選擇，所有鞋款皆為手工製作，講究的皮革，與舒適的鞋底，帶給你騎車不一樣的感受。
Quoc Pham has always had a passion for both fashion design and sport. After graduating with a BA (Hons) in fashion from London’s Central St. Martins, he decided to merge the two. In 2009, Quoc designed his first smart bicycle shoe, combining fashion with an active lifestyle - the eponymous brand was born.
Sleek and elegant, Quoc Pham shoes are made for the urban enthusiast and weekend tourist, hopping on and off, in and out of places. They feel like bicycle shoes but don’t look necessarily look like them: no chunky soles, no Velcro straps, no inability to walk in them, no extra bright colour combinations. They are perfect to wear at dinner or in the office, yet comfortable as a sports shoe can be.
Each limited edition pair is made using traditional techniques, with craftsman sculpting by hand to ensure they stay true to the contour of the foot. Initial prototypes are made and tested rigorously and once approved, only then can the leather be carefully selected. This must be a 1.3-1.4mm thickness due to the quality and durability required. Additionally, the shoes have to be perfect both for walking and riding, so achieving the right consistency for the rubber sole and correct foot bed curvature was a challenge. In essence, everything is considered, even a lesson on how to lace and knot for the best hold on your feet!
Quoc Pham currently offers one style of shoe in 5 different colour ways. An SPD/cleat version is being perfected and will be available soon. Although designed in a slightly different manner, the same principles remain - lovingly made, stylish and comfortable wear.

San Francisco Bicycle Messenger Photo Book

Photos by Beryl Fine
Messenger一直是一個很值得人尊敬的職業，不管晴天、下雨，他們始終靠著他們的雙腿採動他們的單車，在現代都會城市裡執行的他們的工作，同時與所有的汽車、機車、公車、計程車等奮鬥，非常不容易，是一個需要有高度耐力、抗壓性的工作。
這本攝影集是由Beryl Fine花了兩年的時間，記錄了舊金山23位不同messengers的攝影集，每個人物都有非常鮮明的個性、特色，車款也都不一樣。此本攝影集全球只限量發行500本，值得收藏。
Beryl Fine是來自美國舊金山的攝影師，她本身也有一些有趣的攝影主題像是Music、Party、Naked Ladies等等，大家可以逛逛參觀一下。
以下是關於此本Messenger photo book 的簡介：
Beryl Fine is a photographer based in San Francisco, who
strives to find beauty in the unconventional; her photos are
bold, yet they expose a frailty that is so inherent in human
nature. For this project, she photographed 23 bike
messengers, men and women, who are all represented in the book.
Known as urban street messengers, today the modern bike messenger stands synonymous with their predecessors, the pony express, but rather than a horse or pony their trusted steed rides between their legs on two wheels. They’re gritty. Foul mouthed, rough and tough street couriers.
Glamour aside, these men and women have an unforgiving job keeping them outside in sun and sleet, rain or shine, riding for good or bad. They remain lurkers of the urban streets wheeling between buses, semi trucks, taxis and oblivious street pedestrians, delivering the valuable documents that keep the wheels of progress turning.
San Francisco Bicycle Messengers, created by Beryl Fine, captures the charm and the obscurity. The rough exterior and the human character has been taken and abstracted by the camera’s 35mm lens, to revile honest portraits of these men and women.
San Francisco Bicycle Messengers, a 100-page photo book, with a silk-screened cover illustrated by Mike Giant. A limited edition of 500 copies will be available May 1st 2009.
