Few bikes elicit as many words of praise and respect as the Gran Criterium. For decades now, the Gran Criterium has held a place in the pantheon of mythical machines. We’ve painstakingly created a modern classic to be talked about for years to come. We’ve carefully recreated the original graphics used on the Gran Crits of the 70’s and also recreated the classic purple paint that was used on the much-loved Team 3V that was raced by the top pros of the time- the Purple People Eater, as it was called. By combining the vintage graphics with a classic color and a contemporary parts mix and frame, we’ve come up with the next chapter in the great legacy of the Gran Criterium.
