Velo City: Bicycle Culture and City Life

Risi Pista

Risi Pista

The Skull Bike Club is a group of enthusiastic cyclists who hail from Auckland, New Zealand. This is Teva Chonon’s Risi, shot by Mike Davies, who did a great job of capturing that authentic retro paint.

Bruno Risi is a Swiss pro cyclist, who happens to be the ninth Swiss sportsperson to compete in five Olympics (so now you know). An accomplished track cyclist, his resume of ISDT and Madison victories is as long as you like. Bruno has raced for Swiss-based teams such as Berger-Helm Oasen, I.K.O-Corratec (the publicity shots of which are well worth a look for their late-80s neon radiance), Wheeler, ‘Diamont Back’ and recently, Mobel Marki. I’ve been unable to discover who actually built this particular frame for him, but Teva has done an amazing job of building it up appropriately: a Nitto cockpit sits atop a predominantly Suntour-Superbe Pro group set.

Massive thanks to Mike Davies for the photography, and Teva Chonon for the spec sheet.
