Of mountain biking, 1990–2002
The challenge
The collection lived in a garage and a camera roll. Forty-eight bikes, twenty-one brands and more than a decade of paint schemes — Candy Pink, Blastberry, Jamaican Gold — with no place where they could be seen properly, side by side, and in detail.
Our approach
We treated the site like an archive, not a shop. A dark, quiet interface with a single lime accent lets the paint jobs do the talking. The homepage opens with a loading sequence and a 3D bike, then hands over to the collection: a visual index filterable by brand, and a page per bike with its full photo roll — close-ups of the drivetrain, the decals, the scars — plus an enquiry form for anyone with a frame of their own.
The outcome
The whole collection is online and browsable on any device: 48 bikes from 1990 to 2002, each with its own record, photo roll and view count. The archive grows as the garage does — adding a bike is adding a record.
