British luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin commissioned Storck Bicycles founder Markus Storck to help develop a series of Aston Martin cars highlighting carbon fiber. During that collaboration, the two companies decided to combine for a special bicycle project. This is how the latest version of the £15,777 Fascenario.3 Aston Martin Edition came to be.
"It was clear from the outset how the design, engineering and passion of the two brands could combine" said Aston Martin’s EVP & Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman "and what we’ve ended up with is a beautiful bicycle that reflects not only many of the key technical aspects of an Aston Martin, but also our ethos of excellence."
