To those of you out there who have a fetish for the two wheeled ride, have a look at this wicked looking bike, that not only gives you a great feeling when riding it, but also "Screams" high standards with regards to the quality parts used in production

The German liquor factory ‘Partisan-Vodka from Belarus’ brought foward a special competition, this project incorporated the creation of two different bikes by two German teams. Both had the same budget of only 700€ and they had only six weeks to get this bike on the road.

The winner at the end of this drooling and long task was the FeO2—a fixed gear bike, made by hand with love and passion, rusty painted and every part chosen with caution and dedication. They gave it an incredibly unique style, inspired by different concepts and not only fixed-gear bicycles. The Classic Track Frame is far from boring in that rusty coloring. You’re sitting on what is probably the most comfortable and desired saddle in the universe, of course made by no other than the man himself, Brooks.

 

The Charge “Dish” wheel set in combination with the softly gleaming Miche Crank makes this bike spin everybody’s head's. The cherry on top of the dessert is the blanket fixed with a belt (both by Army) in front of the handlebars, that invites you to stop your ride and take a long deserved break wherever you want. And with a slug of the hip flask behind you, your short break is perfect.

The bike screams personality and quantity at the same time, which shows that Hans Steinkopf, Sebastian Faber and Christian Görmer who built it are professionals and know exactly what a bike needs.

Through out this whole process of craftmanship, the one and only most important condition/rule was: SECRECY! No one was allowed to know what was taking place in the other private workshops.

The prize for the winners were fame of course and the production of the limited edition winning bike. The fans of the Partisan Facebook page had to be included, they needed to decide on their favourite and vote.

An honest approach to design, this is a kind of bike I would love to own.
