Trek presents a video to tell the story behind their collaboration with artist Shepard Fairey on the Trek Madone 6.9 SSL bike for Team RadioShack’s 2011 Tour of California. Enjoy!

Bike label Trek has partnered with artist Shepard Fairey and his creative agency Studio Number One to design the Madone 6.9 SSL that Team RadioShack will ride throughout the 2011 Tour of California.

The bikes, emblazoned with imagery created by Fairey and inspired by the team’s namesake, were handmade and painted in Trek’s Waterloo, WI manufacturing facility. “Working with my design agency, Studio Number One, and lead Art Director Casey Ryder, we took inspiration from RadioShack’s epic electronics legacy and iconic color scheme to create a race aesthetic conveying energy, speed, and mobility,” Fairey said. “With several avid cyclists on our team, it’s always an honor to affect the surfaces of the most technically advanced race bikes in the world and work with the top-notch Trek art and design team again.”

During the Tour of California Trek will be offering the chance to win one of these limited edition bikes at trekbikes.com.

We’ve teamed with Warrior Footwear to give one lucky reader a pair of sneakers, a t-shirt (their choice from Warrior) and a Flying Pigeon Bicycle (as seen above.) Really, everything you need to enjoy the spring. For those who haven’t heard of Pigeon, like Warrior sneakers, the Pigeon bikes are really relevant in Chinese history:

“Throughout the 1960s and 1970s the logo became synonymous with almost all bicycles in the country. The Flying Pigeon was the single most popular mechanized vehicle on the planet, becoming so ubiquitous that Deng Xiaoping — the post-Mao leader who launched China’s economic reforms in the 1970s — defined prosperity as “a Flying Pigeon in every household”.

The much anticipated “Velo” bike by Pharrell Williams for Domeau & Pérès has been released today. 26 colors, each limited to only 1.

“The idea came in 2009 after a visit to the Brooklyn Machine Works shop by Pharrell, Bruno Domeau & Philippe Pérès : the bicycle’s frame and fork are hand made out at the Brooklyn Machine workshop of 4130 chromemoly seamless airplane grade steel tubing.

After that, the bike is shipped to Domeau & Pérès in Paris where it’s upholstered in fine leather of water buffalo. All the stitching work is handmade : it takes them over 100 man hours.

Bikes are available in a variety of 26 colors, but each color is an edition of one and once purchased that color choice will no longer be available.”

You can order yours today from colette (storeguide) at eshop@colette.fr, and 8 weeks later the bike arrives. Unfortunately the bike has a 20′000 Euro price tag.

For Summer 2011, Stussy and W-Base from Shibuya, Tokyo have joined forces on the “How I Roll” 26 inch old school BMX original model bike. This cruiser type style is built after the late 1970’s/early 1980’s flavor dirt bike and is packed with details. The frame is made from 4130CR-MO, metallic blue alumite hubs, rims, break covers and neck with the classic “Ride Tough You Little Boys” Stussy phrase. From forks to frame ends, these are all custom Stussy executions. Big thanks to Oakley for supplying a limited number of their super rare and legendary back stock of 1970’s “B-1B” grips.

Check out the video that the two brands produced to go along with their collaboration here above.

After a first preview the other week, we can give you a full look at the new “How I Roll” bike by Stussy and W-Base Tokyo. Based on an old school BMX bike, the Oakley equipped Stussy version, the chrome bike will be released in Japan on April 7th. Of course all details are set in the signature blue by Stussy, that we have come across quite a few times ever since the start of the 30th anniversary celebrations of the brand.

Specialized wanted to create a new kind of road bike and thus also took a completely different approach. After forming a partnership with Fomula 1 racing team McLaren in 2009, the two present the S-Works + McLaren Venge bike in 2011. The outcome is a bike of less than 950 grams, applying fabrics from the Formula 1 racing car, making it both super light, yet stiff. The entire frame is produced of carbon to achieve the light/strength combination. After two years of development, the bike has made its debut this month at the Milan San Remo race with select riders.

Take a further look at the bike after the jump.
