Luca Cometti’s Spectral 29 Dream Build
Using the Canyon Spectral 29 as his foundation, Luca Cometti and mechanic Jason Guthrie set out to create a “dream build”—selecting each part with purpose to build the perfect bicycle.
The Project
A passing ochre-yellow-colored, vintage, pick-up truck in pristine condition provided a flash of inspiration for Luca Cometti. Two-time Dual Slalom U.S. National Champion, Cometti, is a bicycle connoisseur with a garage filled with bikes, from hardtail cross-country bikes to downhill bikes, to e-bikes and everything in-between.
Ever since I was a kid, I've been obsessed with all things two wheels.
