Yet again we ride into the new year and we have few new things to start it off with.
We have updated the Upcycles page, as well as the Goods section.
Please be sure to have a look at the Goods section for some of the super cool products we offer. Knog locks & lights, Brooks saddles, Chapel bags as well as our very own bicycle tool roll made exclusively by godspede for Starling & Hero.
The updated catalogue is also back online and can be viewed directly on the site here. The order form can be found on that same page; just follow the instructions to place your upcycle order.
For any orders from the Goods section please .
We have also been given a super awesome opportunity, that we simply cannot let slip through our grease covered fingers. Unfortunately, this will delay the opening of our shop in Cape Town with a few months. Details to follow as soon as we confirmed a few things.
So yeah … let’s go!
Happy new year!

But can she draw?
December 12th, 2011 — Emile Kotze
The answer is … heck yes! Her name is Bianca and she loves cupcakes. We asked Bianca to illustrate the postcards we send out after each Upcycle order has been completed. These illustrations are absolutely awesome! We’ve always told her that (but she doesn’t seem to believe us). To view a bit more of Bianca’s work please go to her Behance page. You can contact Bianca at [email protected] for freelance or permanent work.
These illustrations (without the name on the front) are also available for purchase @ R350 each (includes postage in a cardboard tube). Each illustration is limited to an edition of 5, printed on A3 Cyclus Offset paper. Please contact us for list of available options and to order.
Illustrated, upcycled, madness!

First day at Neighborgoods
September 23rd, 2011 — Emile Kotze
So, I know this bit of news is extremely late, but what the heck. Our first day at the Neighborgoods Market was extremely successful and we had so much fun chatting to everybody. There was a great response to our product and we loved it! Thanks to everybody that supported us and that bought some stuff. We will be at the market tomorrow (Saturday, 24 September) and we will have even more [colourful] bells and baskets (including a new kids bicycle size). Please come swing by and say hello. Hope to see you there!
