Another absolutely banging Crucial Custom Bike! This is a dual purpose steed put together by us for good friend of the shop Paul Turner.
You may of seen or heard of his name around our website before, or if you look close enough on a couple of our printed adverts this year you will of seen it. Paul captures some amazing photographs and we often feature them in magazines and online. When possible Paul shoots a variety of subjects however his biggest love is Trails and Racing! You'll often find him down the local watering hole digging a new line and snapping away like a man possessed, often to your dismay as he will then photoshop you into much more sinister situations....
All of this is reflected greatly in his bike. Needing something that he could use to rip through the trails on a sunny Sunday but then also use to race competitively on club meetings during the week. What you see before you was born as a dual purpose new-school hybrid trails boss weapon!
Taking all the much needed requirements from a steezy trail machine and also a competitive race bike and mashing them together could of resulted in something obscene however between us and Paul i think we have absolutely nailed it. I honestly can't think of a single way that it could be improved, there were talks about running a chrome frame but i feel like that might of been a little bit too much. The translucent red with gold graphics contrasts perfectly with the raw/polished parts and really pop's out at you.
Its not only a pretty face though, i've had many conversations with him about how amazing it rides and how perfectly setup the geometry of the custom made Standard frame is. I get the feeling it was definitely worth the 8 weeks it took to arrive from the USA.
Hopefully you'll enjoy looking at these photographs as much as we enjoyed helping Paul through the whole process
