Cast a cold eye on life, on death. Riders, pass by.

I started getting the frames painted up in east London and experimenting with a few colours. This is a beautiful racing green and gave me the perfect opportunity to build up something I’d been thinking about  for a long time. This is certainly a great summer path racer to take out to Ben Bulben.
