Nü TAF ONLY.

I had no idea this was a few years back (makes sense given testing out for new Slayer). The video just showed up for me on YouTube, which I was stoked to see.

Oh damn

Is specialized working with an outside design firm for all the one-offs, or do they have an in-house paint person?

A lot of these wild bikes seem to have the same visual language or what have you.

Not just painted but tuned. What an age to live in.

Skimming his portfolio: man, there’s just no way to make a tri / tt bike look cool

This guy is I believe the guy at spesh ordering all these bikes or at the least is a designer at spesh.

Ah cool, so it looks like they give a few creatives a bit of leash to do wacky stuff?

I know Nohlin from the Transatlantic he did with a guy who doesn’t ride bikes. It was like Goofus and Gallant Get Run Over in Serbia

Yeah Erik is doing a lot of TAF-work in-house for Spesh, he does share more of the design type work/portfolio-stuff over at:

Strong dude, used to mess/fixie in the 00’s, good friend and so much fun to see him grow from way back when.

This looks fun
