This was a big one for me! This is now the fourth @efprocycling switchout project I’ve worked on since I’ve been at @ridecannondale , but the first time I’ve been responsible for the design & creative direction on top of the execution, so am really stoked to see the bikes finally come together with the kit, and looking forward to the whole package adding some much needed vibrancy and a bit if fun to the Peloton!
15 bikes total. 8 for the men and 7 for the women = 1 completely unique bike per rider.
Entire project design & direction was based around the idea of only using frames from already existing team stock, and only materials & paint left over from previous special projects. Half of the frame & the entire fork remain completely stock & unchanged in standard factory team issue finish, whilst the originally silver sections of the frame have been treated to the new finish.
I’ve had this idea in my head for a while, but it needed refining, so happy I’ve been able to spend some fine tuning it and engineering the process a bit to best suit the teams needs (keeping added weight to a minimum, but not forfeiting durability.)
Big thanks to @narko for putting your trust behind me with this one!
Special mention to @wimtilkey for not only stepping in to help me out with the huge task of painting the frames but also documenting the whole process with some top notch photography and shooting B roll footage for videos.
On to the next one!

Fun one for @albertobettio to celebrate his 10 years on @ridecannondale … Congratulazioni!
Thanks to @narko for letting me go wild on the design for this one. First time I’ve broken out the Bob Ross No. 6 brush in a while!
🇮🇹🦁

What a ride these last three weeks have been. Great end to th Tour de France for us. Proud to have played a very small part in it all. Massive effort from everyone involved.

CAAD week throwback to the Johnny Utah CAAD10 Track I did waaay back in 2020….🏄♂️🔥🌊
Maybe it’s time for a CAAD14 tribute to Bodhi’s Grim Reaper board…. 👀

Sorry for lack of bike content recently (bikes get likes). Been busy designing and painting fun stuff. More bike stuff on the way.
New Supersix came out a few weeks back. I’ve been knocking out custom evo5’s since October last year…. Fun to start seeing them in action at the sharp end of races.
Here’s one I did for Canadian Nat Champ dancing queen @aliactionjackson .
Had fun designing this one, luckily I got wind of the funky shaped maple leaf @alec_cowan designed for Ali’s jersey just in time to get it on the bike too!
This is Canada bike number three for Ali…. Gonna need to dig deep for some fresh ideas if there’s a number four this year 🍁🇨🇦😵💫
Cheers for the write up and the pics @bikeradar
