Griffin X Charge: The Plug

Charge X Griffin : The Plug

This season sees the launch of a brand new collaborative project between Charge bikes and menswear designer Jeff Griffin. Both urban innovators in their own worlds, the two brands have united to create a limited edition fixed gear bike, due for release in early September.

Situated just a few miles apart from each other in the West Country the two companies came together to create a bike with a difference for the fixed gear biking community. Charge’s signature single speed bike, the plug, quickly became the nominated frame of choice. With it’s minimalist design this new age, classic frame, welcomed Griffin’s innovative design approach.

Taking inspiration for his up an coming autumn/winter 09 collection from the cyclist and the path of commuting from the countryside to the city. Griffin is mixing country tweeds with urban city living, as the guys in Brick lane are bringing polo to their bikes in the East End, we are bringing the country to the city. Mixing technical fabrics with traditional wools to produce garments that have all the flexibility and functionality of a modern day cycling jacket but with the look of modern luxury sportswear.

The Griffin X Charge collaboration bike will be launched at the Eurobike exhibition on the 31st August 2009. These 500 limited edition bikes are now available to pre order at the Griffin Online Store and will be available from selected stockists in early October.

今 シーズンCharge bikeとメンズ・ウェア・デザイナー、ジェフ・グリフィンのコラボ・プロジェクトが乗り出します。 それぞれの業界でアーバン・イノベイターである両者 が創り出した、フィックスド・ギア・バイクのリミティッド・エディションは9月初旬のリリースとなります。

お互いウエスト・カントリーにあり、数マイルしか離れていない両社が現行のフィックスド・ギア・サイクリング界に「違い」をもたらすため、 Chargeシグネチャー・シングル・スピード・バイク、プラグ、を作成、これらはすぐに人気のフレームとなりました。 このミニマル・デザインの、新世 代のクラッシック・フレームはGriffinのイノベイティブ・デザイン・アプローチを快く受け入れました。

来るAW09コレクションへのインスピレイションはサイクリストと、カントリー・サイドからシティーへの通勤の経験から得られました。  Griffinはカントリーなひねりをアーバン・シティーの生活に加え、ブリック・レーンで活動する人々がポロをバイクに持ち込んだように、我々はカント リーをシティーに持ち込みます。テクニカルな布地をトラディショナルなウールで、柔軟性と機能性を同時に兼ね備えた現代のサイクリング・ジャケットであり ながら見た目はモダンで高級なスポーツ・ウェアです。

Griffin X Chargeコラボレーション・バイクは2009年8月31日に開催されたEurobikeエキシビションに出展されました。 その後、これらの500台 の限定版バイクは厳選された取引先から販売されます。抽選に応募するには2009年12月1日までにGriffinメーリングリストを購読してください。抽選に応募するにはここをクリックして下さい

Fluorescent Orange Trousers!

Here at Griffin we know we produce great high quality trousers and our customers that have bought from us in the past know this and continue to buy from us season after season, but we realise they are a tricky item to buy over the net when you can't try them on. So to make life a little easier we have extended our returns policy (to 14 days) so you now have longer to make up your mind.

Originally we set out to make a series of simple films that illustrated how the trousers looked on, with the aid of a treadmill and few unnecessary props later they quickly became almost feature length films. Anyway check them out for your self below and on the product page at the Griffin Online Store....
