Traditional Italian cycle company Montante have taken a step away from their traditional production (the brand name means ‘upright’ in Italian), and pulled an absolute stunner out of the bag.
The Montante for Maserati 8CTF celebrates the 70th anniversary of Wilbur Shaw’s famous win at the Indy 500, the second year running for the legendary car.
The bicycle features classic Maserati wine-coloured paintwork, and the Maserati trident engraved on each hub. It has a selectable fixed/freewheel rear hub, and a rather badass disk brake on the front
Aside from that, every detail screams BESPOKE LOVELINESS – pantographing, paintwork, leather and more – but mere mortals such as us will probably never get near one. Only 200 – the number of laps that make up the Indy 500 – are being made.
The bike was unveiled at the Paris Motor show this month. Click below for more pics.
