All about a unique bike…
The Vincent Van Gogh Aero Road Bike is the result of a remarkable joint effort of culture and sports advocacy in Brabant. Designer Tomas Snels previously teamed up with Van Gogh Brabant to produce the handcrafted Vincent shoes by his design. This time, he teamed up with with Ted and Jim Cranen; reproduction pioneers, specialised in custom design bicycles. It was their prototype and more than a decade long collaboration with Giant that got the wheels turning. Marcel van Heeswijk also strengthens the team with its expertise in business administration and process. The circle is complete when BrabantSport also commits itself to this special collective. Photographing Paul Raats brings the beautiful moments as an experienced photographer.
