For those looking forward to seeing the Aventon Factory Team in action this Saturday, they might be surprised as the team will not compete in their traditional blue kit. Current RHC GC Series leader Eleonore Saraiva will be riding a custom painted Aventon Cordoba, created specifically for the London Red Hook Crit race. Next to that, the whole Aventon Factory Team will be wearing red skinsuits to commemorate the occasion. The design of both the frame as the skin suits comes from Eliel Cycling. The paint job was done by Southern California craftsman Len Lochmiller who has a long history of working in motorsports, but his son Wulfgang is a regular at SoCal Velodromes. Len loves work with local racers and teams, and jumped at the chance to paint this one of a kind frame for Saraiva. The design honours the London location the colours of the Union Jack, and a flag on the top tube. Saraiva’s name was painted by Lochmiller’s steady hand, as was Len’s signature “Lenny Who Else” as it has appeared on countless custom motorcycles and cars.
