There Will Be Blood: The Garneau A1 Blood Bike
This is the team’s third year on the Garneau A1. Each year, the team has drawn up new team designs for the Dream Factory to execute, each year with a new colorway and underlying design concept. This year saw two designs with colors inspired directly by the team’s kit. This deep shade of red is affectionally known on the team as the Blood Bike and stands in contrast to the other 2018 colorway that we shared earlier this year. And if you’re curious to learn more about the A1 see our review of the A1 from a while back for more on this bike.
