Cycling is an art form and at times this is the literal truth. In this case the art is a collaboration between UK bike manufacturer Kinesis, clothing company Morvélo Bicycle Apparel, and renown graffiti artist Aroe. Kinesis’ Aithein frame and fork, plus a set of Reynolds Attack rims, were all handed over to the street-artist as a blank canvas. See more of the stunning results, next…
Over the course of the Aithein’s development Morvélo had been testing an unpainted/unbranded frameset. Their creative minds started to ponder to possibilities — what could be done with this blank canvas of a frame? A conversation with the artists Aroe began, and the results speak for themselves.
1193g of aluminum alloy frame, 330g of carbon fork, and a set of Reynolds Attack rims (380g each), all given the artist’s special treatment.
“Graffiti has given me many things: My best friends, crew loyalty, a sense of accomplishment, a creative outlet, a destructive outlet, massive opportunities for traveling/painting the world, adventures, beef, fights, laughter, tears, love, hate, understanding, diplomacy and above all, a sense of knowing that if I want something – there’s nothing that will stop me from achieving my goal.” – Aroe
