CHARMISSE

“I haven’t gone two weeks without sex since i was in a coma for six weeks” – CHARMISSE (2013)

BIO

I had big plans for this one. The ol’skool frame was close but not what I’d expected, so I changed the design approach and bought some gum coloured tyres. Alas these tyres were not the gum colour I was expecting (but still looked cool) so it was back to the drawing board. On my third and final attempt, I used Family Guy’s character Charmisse to inspire the bikes concept and design (a working girl that’s trying to do the best with what she has, despite the disappointments she has experienced).

Charmisse is a de-rusted chrome frame with rusted handlebars, seat rails, cranks, wheels, pegs and gyro with a costume multi coloured cable splitters. Charmisse was also given a brand new silver chain and a pair of cool limited edition pedals and grips. A peach flux leather mini skirt was appropriately bought to cover the saddle. Real leather was used as the Auset Athletic logo using the trademark wonky stitching to seam it all together :p

Even though Charmisse is a low end prostitute. I think she just needs someone to cut her a brake and take her out the game. I’ve tested her for 3 miles since completion and I think she rides great ;0)
