In the summer of 2005, before i started my education at the Umeå Institute of Design, I had for a long time wanted a sleak and minimalistic bike with some influences from the 19th century racing bikes.
I started off with a military bike from the Swedish Army and then changed the fork to a 1920s Kroon suspended fork. To get that perfect 19th century look i searched all over my home state to find grey tires to perfectly match the Brooks leather saddle and my homemade leather handles. Together with the glossy black color and the red accent of the logo in the front the result is absolutely stunning.
