The bike itself is a tool to get you closer to the natural environment, a break from an otherwise mechanised and pristine world.
The brushed finish reflects this desire, each of those visible strokes as beutiful and intentional as the hand finished welds we value so dear. another example of displaying the builders labour, their art and skill
the non toxic nature of the paint soldifies this, with a desire for builder to again lower their footprint, both on the trail and in the workshop.
yet more deliberate acts that show the final product is something to be cherished for years to come, not replaced by next seasons model. it is designed to have a meaningful life before it eventually returns to the ground which built it
