Misty wanted a new bike for Ironman Wisconsin that would never get lost in the bike corral. Velocolour did the amazing paint job that is inspired by the markings of the red-eyed tree frog. A SRAM Force AXS wireless electronic group takes care of the drivetrain, and the HED Vanquish wheel keep the bike as slippery in the wind as possible without being so deep that Misty will get blown off the road by a crosswind!
A custom bike fitting made sure we had Misty’s position perfectly dialed for long days in the saddle.
I added an aero bridge to the aero seat stays, that was a tricky mitering job!
A big miter on this aero down tube mating to the round seat tbue.
Another tricky joint where the aero seat stays mount are attached to the seat tube.
The orange and green two-tone mimics the tree frog’s markings.
The red head tube logo and stem mimic the frog’s red eyes.
Tri bikes are all business from the front.
The tree frogs have this blue/yellow markings on their sides, Velocolour added it inside the fork legs on this Ritchey Carbon Road fork.
