Vandeyk Purple Blast bicycle collection unveiled


How creative can you get with a cycle? Vandeyk Contemporary Cycles explains the concept by creating ‘an art object on two wheels.’ The company unveiled the Purple Blast – a new collection meant to be an icon of art, design, technology, and class. It was fully hand-crafted in Germany and is strictly limited to 25 pieces. The cycle was staged in an exclusive short film on NOWNESS, shot by London-based art and design practice United Visual Artists (UVA), transforming a bicycle wheel into a hypnotic homage to early op art.

It is enriched with the Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 electronic shifting technology with fully integrated wiring, Columbus XCr stainless steel frames. It has used components from premium manufacturers such as Chris King or ENVE Composites.
