Alexey Vermeulen has a special bike for Unbound this year, a custom-painted ENVE MOG with a blueprint scheme dreamt up by the builders and painters at their Odgen, UT, factory and HQ.

With notes calling out frame features blended with fun quotes and a reminder to stay focused, it’s probably the prettiest way a brand has ever highlighted a product’s features. Click any photo to enlarge.

“Let Op” is Dutch, essentially translating to “Look Up!” or “Look Out”, just a friendly reminder to keep your head up during a race.

The backside of the seat tube was signed by the builders and painters who helped make this bike.

Alexey says he prefers a 2x drivetrain for the smaller gear steps, which helps keep a more consistent cadence, especially important in an event like Unbound where winds and mild elevation changes benefit from a more refined approach to one’s output.

The braided sleeve over the Di2 wire is something ENVE does for all such builds, just adding a little extra protection against snags and tears…for now.

It’s a lot of work being a brand ambassador…Willie was a tired boi.

ENVE’s other booth bikes were a custom painted ENVE MOG showing off other (likely much more affordable) options for customer bikes.

They also have a new Aegean Blue color option for their road bikes, which can have a matte pearl or full gloss finish…or a mix of the two to add a bit more visual interest without adding graphics.

Nice! That ugly stock color has to go.

Basically they copied Rapha’s EF jersey design from a couple years ago, but in blue?

Cool.
