Limited edition bike collaboration between Raleigh bicycles, 1984 Olympic medalist Nelson Vails and graffiti legend Zephyr. I wanted this project to showcase Nelson's beginnings as a bike messenger in NYC. Each symbol on these frames represents a piece of Nelson and Zephyr’s early years in Harlem and Manhattan. Consider it a graphic tribute to two people who changed the game. We named the bike Teaba, an early Nelson nickname.
