The Bicycle Film Festival  is going from city to city, and as part of their sponsorship, Puma launched the “Puma Re-Bike Project” this summer which helps bike charities in five North American cities which are part of the bicycle film festival spots. Puma gave out $200 to seven magazine companies, and their challenge would be; to make a bike from recycled bicycle parts. The magazines included: Vice, Swindle, fader, Anthem…..and the list goes on. All the bikes will be on display at the North American destinations for the Bicycle Film Festival, as part of the Puma Re-Bike gallery.

Anthem: Made this bike (above) “For this project we wanted to create a bike that we felt represented Anthem. We found this old Austrian/German frame and fork buried under a pile of junk parts that we really dug. From that we pieced together the rest of the parts trying to stick close to the era the bike was originally from, probably late 60s. In the end we think we pulled off our look; clean, minimal, euro chic. It was a total labor of love and for a great cause so we hope it finds a happy home.” Special thanks to Jimmy Nghe.

Fader: “We built this curvaceous beauty with the diligent aid of Paul Rauen of C.H.U.D. 333 in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Her name is Magic Super Goodvibes and she is full Turbo. Thanks to Paul, the participating bike co-ops for inspiration, the FADER Family and the generous purchaser. Please use MSGT to spread happiness to the children.”

URB Magazine: “Out on the left coast, fixed gear bikes just aren’t gangsta. URB Magazine’s vintage Schwinn Sting-ray (and entry into PUMA’s Re-Bike project) is strictly for the West: from its laid back banana seat to the custom purple rims. Our dudes Kevin and Prime over at Routes in LA cooked up the floss and love for SoCal graffiti with the paint decals….just don’t forget to get your lean on.”
