The iconic Leica camera laid the foundation for inspiration in this simple bicycle by London-based frame-builder Tom Donhou. The client was a photographer who wanted his ride to reflect his specialty, so the matt black paint became the center of attention to mimic the look and feel of the camera.  Sweet Leica red scrolls across the tube top signed by Donhou. Designed for fast city riding built off a Reynolds 953 with a parts package including Royce, Thomson and saddle by Busyman.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
