Deus Staff Build - Bike Build Off 2016

Aug 24, 2016

Bike Build Off - Staff Build

It's Bike Build Off time again and we have been lucky enough to peep behind the Deus workshop roller door to follow this year's Staff Build by Tim Roodenburg from Camperdown's House of Simple Pleasures. Keeping in the theme of "doing the most with least" Tim decided he would go on the hunt for an old, rundown Postie CT110. With no real plan except a passion for choppers, a rusty frame and minimal budget - Tim got to work on the 1985 cobweb covered postie which will join over 50 registered bikes at the Australian leg of the event on Saturday September 24th at the Bondi Pavilion. The video above also contains some wise words and insight from Deus Founder "Dare Jennings" on the idea and creation that has became the Boundless Enthusiasm Bike Build Off. Dare also drops a few hints about what the judges will be looking for and the spirit of building the most with the least.

Drip, Drive and DUNE

May 13, 2026

Last weekend in Venice, the parking lot filled early. Coffee in hand, classics rolling in one by one, and sun-warmed concrete set the tone for the morning ahead.

Hosted alongside Meyers Manx, with friends BYRD Hair and DUNE Suncare, the gathering brought together an eclectic mix of cars, people and personalities - the kind of easy atmosphere that defined the early days of Deus Venice. Nothing overly programmed. Just a community of like-minded individuals coming together around the simple pleasure of a good morning drive.

There’s something about a classic buggy that captures the spirit of California exploration - equally at home chasing dust through Baja as it is pulling into your local taco stand. That same sense of freedom carried through the morning, as Meyers Manx buggies and a convoy of classics rolled out from the lot and into the streets of Venice under Pacific light.

Same again soon,
The team at Deus Ex Machina, Los Angeles
