At whatever level you partake in the sport you’ve spent some time briefly rooting for a Pro, reading about their setups, or ogling their beautiful toys. Even if you’re disenchanted with the current state of cycling, a beautiful bike will still put a grin across your face. So we jumped at the chance to stop by and gawk at the several road bikes designed for Pro’s or owned by Specialized’s lead graphic designer – Garrett Chow.
Full disclosure: Spandex ain’t really my thing. Love bikes, have a road bike (some might call ancient), but I prefer dirt. Since I’m no expert on the components/setups, I opted to take pictures. Lot’s of pictures. Enjoy! If you have any questions just leave them in the comments.

Specialized Zden?k Štybar Crux 2012
Nothing better than something that looks well loved amidst all the perfection.
Garrett Chow’s Personal Specialized Crux
Garrett took Stybar pink to a whole new level.
This is the kind of paint job that needs to be seen in real life to be properly drooled over. Actually, that was the theme of the whole night. Just check out the next bike.
Garrett Chow’s Specialized Tarmac SL3 Frameset, 2010
This frame hanging on the wall? Just his old old Tarmac from way back in the day… I mean 2010.
This is the only angle which came close to showing off some of the subtle graphics.

Even the computer and stem cap match perfectly!
And don’t worry, Garrett’s bikes aren’t just show pieces. He knows how to get them dirty too. Rad!
