Drager Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 What's Vincent Hermance Edition? Just color? Is that official? If yes - how could someone pick that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Sutton Posted March 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) It was Vincent hermance's spec the geo is different to the original sky 3. It was listed on tartybikes a while back. Mines been resprayed in matte black. This is what it looked like as standard.

Canardweb Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 It also has longer chain stays because when Vincent wanted to ride 20" he wanted his bike to feel like a 26"... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
