If you don’t know Martone Cycling, you should. Martone Cycling Company is a fashion- and design-driven bike company. Founded and created by Lorenzo Martone, Brazilian-born former advertising and PR executive (and former fiancé of Marc Jacobs). Martone bikes are a bold statement of personal style: city bikes, created with passion—with a red chain on every bike they make. These bikes have quickly become the bike of fashion designers and fashion lovers the world over.
Martone believes that urban dwellers are always carrying something: a tote, a gym bag, groceries, a dog…who knows? That’s why all of the bikes have a basket built into the handlebars, to make life easier and with style. A bike that looks as good as it rides? There’s more then meets the eye: each MCC bike is powered by SRAM’s innovative duomatic gear system, which automatically adjusts and changes gears based on the speed you’re riding. Its an entirely unique riding experience – and one you’ll find only on Martone bikes. It’s a fixie with gears. My personal favourite? The all white bike with white tires. I bet you thought I was going to say black.
