Cherry Cafe Racer by Deus
Deus Ex Machina has a refreshingly heretical approach to cafe racer building, this bike is one of their latest creations and you can tell at a glance that it’s a signature, antipodean cafe belter.
Klhip
Well I never thought I’d feature nail clippers on Silodrome however, design is design and these clippers (or, Klhippers) are tiny little engineering marvels. They’re made from surgical grade stainless steel and you can grab one here for $50.

1973 Jeep Wagoneer
The classic Jeep Wagoneer is one of those unmistakably American cars, this example is fitted with a V8 and an automatic transmission, sadly the air-conditioning needs a little work…
Cafe Racer & The City by Fott
Cafe Racer & The City was directed and filmed by the talented Alexander Khudokon in 2011, I have a soft spot for well made videos like this although I always feel like they just need a script in order to be made into a feature film.
