The ENGLISH

We’ve known Zak at Skunkworks Bikes for quite a few years and we always look forward to shooting his special creations (normally over a cool beverage after hours). Having said that, Zak specialises in high end, light and fast bike and wheel builds using high quality parts with meticulous attention to detail, so all of his customers bikes are indeed special creations. This English is Zak’s personal bike and gets used daily, the steel & carbon frame and saddle were custom made for his measurements and all parts hand picked to be a truly one off build. If you crave beauty such as this (and who doesn’t!), get in contact with Zak. @skunkworks_bikes

Bicycle photography Riding into 2013

When clients visit our beautiful studios, they always notice plenty of bicycles around. The majority of them are owned by Studio Commerial's Jason Doyle & Marcus Enno. Inspired by the beautiful machines they built I started planning to assemble my own commuter.

I have been riding from Manly to Sydney's CBD for well over a year and my old bike was struggling to keep up. It's good to treat yourself once in a while, especially with Xmas around the corner.

The building went more smoothly than I anticipated, Jason and Marcus guided me along the way nicely, so I definitely saved some time/mistakes there.

Thanks for reading. Pieter

Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from the Studio Commercial team.

WOW, the year has flown by, now is the time to relax and recharge, enjoy family and friends.

Thanks for your wonderful support this year, we’ve really enjoyed working with you, so roll on 2013!

To help get you in the mood, some nice Christmas quotes…

Edna Ferber, Roast Beef Medium
Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling.

W. J. Tucker, Pulpit Preaching
For centuries men have kept an appointment with Christmas. Christmas means fellowship, feasting, giving and receiving, a time of good cheer, home.

Andy Rooney
One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don’t clean it up too quickly.

Our studio will be closing Friday the 21st of December 2012 (just after lunch, pop in for a beverage if you’re nearby!), returning Wednesday the 2nd of January 2013.

Peace out,

Studio Commercial

P.S. We have photographers on call over the break if anything comes up.

P.S.S. Thanks to Morgans Bicycles for the Velorbis we shot for them, not too late to buy one for Christmas!!
