JAMES’S ANTUR

Jackson Pollock inspired gravel bike

About

James’s ANTUR

James’ bike is based around our ANTUR gravel model, which is part of the Adventure Collection. This acted as the foundation for the bike design which has been molded to match the brief set by James who was after the ability to run single speed as well as gears and wanted internal cable and dynamo routing to keep things looking clean and to stop cables interfering when the bike is loaded with bags.

The N-1 relates to the fact that this bike has replaced both of his current builds that were no longer getting much use, it goes against the grain of the industry standard of N+1 which I quite like.

Paint, carried out by Jack Kingston, has been heavily influenced by the American abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock who would drip, drizzle and throw paint onto his canvas to create his ‘drip paintings’. This playful, expressive and free from rules approach can be said to reflect the attitude of riding gravel bikes.

Each of the colours of the frame mirror the frame bags, bar roll, saddle bag and snack pouch that James uses for his bikepacking trips, we thought that it was important to choose colours that had a meaning and gave the bike that extra personal touch.
