Today’s BOTW is Maureen’s Scarab Apuna with a ‘NYC’ theme custom paint job.

The inspiration for this paint project came from the NYC based artist Alex Klement, who was inspired by the complexity of city life amongst Manhattan’s streets. Straight lines overlay in a web-like pattern, wrapping the frame up and perfectly capturing the beautiful madness that New York often has.

The bike was a gift from Maureen's husband Ed, who wanted the bike to match his own (see Ed's Apuna here).

These bikes will follow them to their Florida home and they'll spend the winter riding under the sun. These beautiful handmade bikes from Colombia were the perfect choice for Ed & Maureen because of their simple elegance and classic steel feel.

Scarab’s are competitively priced in the custom bike market, but they compete with the best of them when it comes to performance.

The Apuna is the all-road, instant classic from Scarab. Designed using the silhouette of a road bike, whilst having the capacity for high volume tires; the Apuna can take you further than you ever thought you could go on a road bike. Fast, aggressive and agile, this is the perfect steel bike!

This bike fits Marueen perfectly and makes her happy every time she rides it. We’re thrilled with this build and hope you both enjoy your time in the sun!
