Geekhouse Bikes: Powder Coating Graphics
Not too long ago one would already set oneself apart by riding a fixed gear bike. These days even traditional media picked up the worldwide trend and with that, one has to find new ways to set apart ones bike. Geekhouse introduces their new powder coating graphic option. "They've mastered a process that can basically take any digital image and sublimate it into a powder coated finish. This "Rockcity" frame was made for a customer who wanted a bandanna-like orange paisley design—not our first choice of graphics but dope nonetheless. It also features a matching front Deep-V rim that was also given the same patterned treatment." Via Animal.
Definitely a good idea and something many people will be making use of. The only problem with such an option is, just like with something like Nike iD, people with bad taste also get to use it. But overall definitely a nice move.

BAPE Leather Folding Trays
Here comes a great new product from Bape - the folding trays. A product that is useful, but usually only produced by very high end brands, such as Hermes, Bottega Veneta or Asprey. The happier we are that Bape made them now in several sizes. Good quality leather with a simple Bape head logo in the middle, the Bape folding trays are perfect for at home to put your keys, jewelry or watches, or for on the road to keep your hotel room organized.

Is This the New MacBook?
We're eagerly awaiting Apple’s next-generation laptops, and if these spy shots are genuine, we’ve just been given a sneak peek at them!
They purport to show the back of the new laptop’s lid, and the screen housing (without the LCD screen in place.
Falling into line with recent rumours, the new design is made out of aluminium, and looks very smooth indeed, if a little chubbier than we’d imagined.
What’s notable, is that the shell clearly carries the name “MacBook” rather than MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, falling in line with predictions of all-new aluminium notebooks that’ll match the Air and Pro models, but without the high price of the latter, or featherlight frame of the former.
There’s no sign of the rest of the body, however, so we’ve no idea if rumours of Apple’s plan to include glass trackpads is true.
Are they legit? Are they optimistic fakes?

Franc Vila SuperLigero Skeleton Tourbillon
Originally showcased at Baselworld 2008, the Franc Vila SuperLigero Skeleton Tourbillon merges great design with new materials. Watchtribune describes it, "Like Richard Mille, Zenith, Ulysse Nardin and Jaeger-LeCoultre, Franc Vila moved forward with this piece by exploring a new material – Lightnium (an allow of lithium and aluminium). This material boasts high rigidity and low density, and marks yet another milestone for pioneering independent watchmaking."
