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.
Have a more detailed look at the bike after the jump.

Famed Singaporean sneaker customiser SBTG teams up with streetwear label REPUBLIC to create a special collaborative project for Qubic Store – Auckland, New Zealand.
The highlight of the project is a pair of SBTG designed and customized Nike Dunk His – “Rogue Trooper”, incorporating a new brush pattern along with SBTG’s signature style and black highlights to showcase his insane talent with the paintbrush. The “Rogue Trooper” also comes with a special SBTG lace tag, lace patch, and is packaged in a special RoyaleFam drawer box and the infamous SBTG Vine print tissue paper. This is the first time SBTG has collaborated for a custom project with a store in Australasia, and the first time ever a product like this has been offered to NZ sneaker and sneaker art enthusos.

Also included in the pack and to accompany the SBTG 1/12 custom “Rogue Trooper” Dunk Hi, REPUBLIC – Qubic Store’s house brand, has designed and manufactured two apparel pieces – a special issue SBTG X REPUBLIC chiffon shemagh/keffiyeh incorporating SBTG’s “Vine” Camo design (as seen on his Nike SB Dunk Lo in 2006), and a matching tee-shirt print featuring the shemagh pattern constructed out of 150gsm soft combed ringspun cotton. The teeshirt and shemagh will come packaged along with the “Rogue Trooper” custom Nike Dunk Hi. A very small run of the apparel will also be produced for sale outside of the packs, for in-store purchases only.

A total of 12 packs will be made available for sale globally.

The pack will retail for NZ$750 (USD$580) and will drop in store at Qubic Store on Saturday 1st December 2007 for in-store purchases, and will open to international orders on Monday 3rd December 2007 (pending stock availability). Interested international buyers will need to email store@qubicstore.com to secure their pack on the Monday.
Check out the sneakers, t-shirt and scarf in detail after the jump.
