Griffin X Charge from the Beginning

See the making of the Griffin X Charge Plug bike from the beginning through to our photoshoot.

Autumn/winter 09 sees the launch of a brand new collaborative project between Charge bikes and menswear designer Jeff Griffin. Both urban innovators in their own worlds, the two brands have united to create a limited edition fixed gear bike, due for release in early November.

Situated just a few miles apart from each other in the West Country the two companies came together to create a bike with a difference for the fixed gear biking community. Charges signature single speed bike, the plug, quickly became the nominated frame of choice. With its minimalist design this new age, classic frame, welcomed Griffins innovative design approach.

Taking inspiration for his up an coming autumn/winter 09 collection from the cyclist and the path of commuting from the countryside to the city. Griffin is mixing country tweeds with urban city living, as the guys in Brick lane are bringing polo to their bikes in the East End, we are bringing the country to the city. Mixing technical fabrics with traditional wools to produce garments that have all the flexibility and functionality of a modern day cycling jacket but with the look of modern luxury sportswear.
