London-based label maharishi works in collaboration with Dosnoventa on a limited edition fixed gear bicycle. It is coated entirely in a Golden Tigerstripe camouflage throughout, which is a pattern that originated in Vietnam during the 60s. The duo now join to label the collaborative project as a bike that is "made by cyclists, for cyclists."
The bike is detailed with a "Los Angeles" framing and is made to function as a single-speed and multipurpose bike that is prepared for commuting on a daily but also for training purposes. It is made from durable Airplane tubing and has a frame with a matte black coating. It is rounded out by subtle graphic touches and references the camouflage print all over.
