Oh my word. God Bless America. Aaron Gwin’s 2015 World Championships Specialized Demo 8 Carbon is possibly the coolest custom bike here in Vallnord, Andorra.
It’s a throwback to Shaun Palmer’s famous 1996 World Champs Intense with American flag custom spray and patriotism well and truly in full effect. With stars and stripes on every surface possible, a custom Renthal Fatbar, HT Components pedals and a Gwin logo on the seatstay this is the bike that only a World Cup Champion like Gwin could ever be deserving of. But can he win World Champs on it is the question Tim Wild asks here?
