BOTM: Green Machine - part 3

Andy Kessler - 27-Oct-2017
After our beauty shots of last weeks post here now the last bit of information for our "Green Machine".



But first let me tell you the story of the picture of the Porsche... No, it is not my Porsche (unfortunately) and yes I like old cars (the last one I sold when I started OPEN) but all that has nothing to do why I use that picture. It is about the close connection we have with our customers which I feel really fortunate about. Often we chat not only about bikes but about life in general also which is very particular in the bike industry.



So once we launched our NEW U.P. one of our first customers send me the pic of this Porsche with a short notice "guess what I just bought". I really can imagine how his garage looks like with the two Green Machines side by side....both performance...both off-and on-road

Tan leather handle bar tape to match Porsche seat leather? Maybe even a tan saddle?
