The Birth of Envision

PRJT ENVISION: A new paint scheme that honours Grand Tour colours without borrowing their clichés

A new design concept called Envision has been unveiled, aiming to capture the spirit of the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and La Vuelta through colour while deliberately avoiding the familiar symbols and motifs associated with celebratory tour bikes. The project reframes the visual language of grand‑tour commemoration by treating yellow, pink and red as starting points for a fresh, independent identity rather than as direct references.

According to the design team, Envision translates those iconic palettes into abstract forms, texture, and composition—leaning on gradients, contrast and unexpected pairings instead of logos, laurels or literal race iconography.

Celebration of Heritage, While forward thinking.

The result is intended to feel resonant to fans of the sport while resisting the predictable visual tropes that often define commemorative bicycles.

Observers say the concept offers a model for how heritage can be acknowledged without being replicated, suggesting designers can honor tradition through color theory and mood rather than through obvious symbolism. For enthusiasts and industry observers alike, Envision poses a simple question: how do you celebrate a sporting legacy while keeping design language contemporary and original?

Unveiling the Entro_Vision aka Envision

The unveiling of Entro Vision — also billed as Envision — marked the close of a nine‑month creative journey on Friday, when Bici Bottega’s lead designer Kelvin G joined the Director of Entro Cycles to reveal the PRJT bike to an attentive crowd. The reveal took place in Entro’s showroom, where customers and dedicated fans of Ridley Bikes gathered to see the finished piece in person.

The event was low‑key but deliberate: a designer and a director lifting the sheet together, speaking briefly about the collaborative process, and letting the bike’s new paint language do the talking. The PRJT bike embodies the project’s stated aim — to acknowledge the palettes of cycling’s grand tours while rejecting their predictable motifs — and the showroom setting underscored the design’s intended audience: riders and enthusiasts, not just showroom display.

Those present described the moment as a fitting end to the team’s disciplined development period. Kelvin G, whose studio led the visual direction, emphasized distillation of color and texture over literal references; Entro’s leadership framed the release as the first public step in a longer plan to place the design on frames and apparel. Fans and customers milled around the bike, scrutinizing surface finishes and color transitions that had been central to the concept.

While production and broader availability were not finalized at the unveiling, the collaboration between Bici Bottega and Entro Cycles — presented in the home of Entro’s showroom — signals a deliberate attempt to position Envision as a contemporary alternative to conventional commemorative schemes. Whether traditionalists and the wider cycling community embrace that approach remains to be seen, but for those who witnessed the reveal, the moment was both a celebration of craft and an assertion of a new direction in commemorative design.

Ridley Falcn RS - PRJT ENVISION 00-06-Worldwide - Prototype

PRJT Envision 00‑06‑Prototype arrived as the opening act in a planned run of six one‑off creations, each made exclusively for the Ridley Falcon RS. More than a bespoke paint job, the prototype is presented as a distillation of lead designer Kelvin G.’s design philosophy — a culmination of more than 15 years working across design, marketing and advertising, translated onto a single machine.

The bike embodies Kelvin’s conviction to pursue ideas that are innovative, creative and unapologetically bold, realised in collaboration with one of Singapore’s most iconic custom painters - Paint Extreme. Surface treatments, nuanced palettes and hand‑finished details demonstrate a studio approach that privileges craft and conceptual clarity over literal homage.

As the first in the series, 00‑06‑Prototype sets the tone for what follows: a tightly curated exploration of color, texture and form intended to sit comfortably in the hands of riders while making a distinct visual statement. For collectors and fans of bespoke cycling design, it signals a focused commitment to pushing Singapore’s custom‑paint culture forward.

World First Fully Functional Custom-Painted SRAM Red E1

Bici Bottega enlisted two of Singapore’s trade legends — Inked Mechanic and Paint Extreme — to disassemble a set of brand‑new SRAM Red E1 components and hand‑finish them to Envision’s project colours. The teams worked on launch‑day hardware, converting the groupset into a bespoke, color‑matched component suite — a level of detail made more striking by the limited availability of parts.
