Twin Six T-Shirts
From the simple Bike Geek to the Brew Pub T's coat of arms inspired pean to The Alpe d'Huez, Twin Six's t-shirts are both cleverly designed and a reflection of today's biking culture. Back in February 2009 the US based brand's 'Fly T' was featured as part of the Independent's online 'Top 50 Cycle Gear' article. Here is what they had to say:
"The American-based Twin Six, a pair of young designers who love to ride, call their brand a "graphic revolution in cycling apparel". It's a lofty claim, but their great range of retro jerseys, T-shirts, caps and sock certainly banish images cycle gear associations with technical, brightly coloured Lycra. Their T-shirts would look as good off the bike as they would on urban rides. The Fly features a deep-velocity rim suspended by angel wings. Nice."
Opsal T-Shirts
Created by Californian artist Brian Opsal, Opsal t-shirts are inspired by the heyday of the sport, and it's fair to say are more Tour de France focused than Twin Six's collection. It was back in 2004 that Brian produced his first cycling art print, creating an image based on the European cycling classic 'Paris-Roubaix'. From this first piece, Titled 'The Hell of the North', he went on to produce a series of prints inspired by famous bicycle races from around the globe. From there, the next logical step was to combine the graphic passion of Opsal's art into wearable clothing designs, and this t-shirt collection is what we have here today on the site.
