Sketch Bike

While most times posing fashionably with a bike looks corny, I thought this series of photos from Folk's spring/summer collection was actually pretty interesting...




Most people wouldn't know this, but the bike used in the photos was originally developed for the video for the song "Take On Me," popularized by the band A-Ha in the mid '80s...



The bike was never used in the video, however, as it was determined that riding a motorcycle with a sidecar would ultimately make the lead singer's hair poof out more. Also, one would also have to assume that it's somewhat cooler to have your ass kicked by a motorcycle gang rather than a pack of roadies decked out in spandex.

How the guys at Folk managed to get their hands on this rare prototype sketch bike I'll never know...
