Speedvagen Surprise Me 2021

Made public today. I like it at first glance, but of course time will tell. As a reminder, SV is offering a frame-only option currently with the crazy unpredictability on parts.

Is it only I who sees a suggestion of "ENVE" in the upper portion of the drive side seat stay?

I think the alpers blue and kawasaki green samples they show could be very cool.

I think the enve eye trick is definitely on purpose.

This is a big departure from the past 2 years, guessing that Jenn, Dan and Lucas leaving changed up the dynamic of the shop and what is possible.

I didn’t scroll far enough down to see the other colors
You’re right a few are sharp as well

Interesting-looking bikes.
Can’t see myself riding one though...not with the word “speed” so prominently displayed on the frame.

If I'm reading this correctly, the "Surprise" element this year is what colorway your individual bike will be. "Any bike ordered now until the release of the 2023 scheme can be ordered as a Surprise Me and it'll get a similar graphic layout, but with a different color palette. Each of these schemes will truly be unique and 1 of 1. (note: no other bikes will get the white scheme or a repeated color way)."

It would be nice if they kept a compiled gallery of all of the color palettes/bikes produced.

I tend to like the Surprise Me program anyway, but this reference to printers' registration marks touches on a lot of personal memories. Big like.
