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.
tunedbytyler on IG.
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
He was there when Fred met prolly at the cool kid table on boregon poopback in 2014

This is the guy I was thinking of. Brian Szykowny
Did I take this picture?
I dunno, it was in the shoopery.
I can’t believe:surejan: is also in that pic
