A few weeks ago I reconnected trough email with my friend Dez from Geneva, Switzerland. Dez is one of those dude that I really admired and respect as a teen. He was the first dude I saw wearing Stussy in Switzerland when I had no clue what street wear really was 15-20 years ago. He made me want to do design, do art, music,etc… He has been part of the creative scene in Geneva for a long time and is always one step ahead of the mass. His swiss design company Schonherwehrs is designing for clients such as Mental Groove Rec. and the Contemporary Art Center of Geneva. Dez added a new piece to his portfolio: Dope Bikes. With 2 friends from Zurich they started Gorillia Bicycles and are building top of the top bikes with frames made in Italy. I am not an expert in bikes but from what I heard in NY and knowing Dez, that shit ain’t no joke. Check their website and enjoy the pictures.
Barry Forde is racing for Gorilla, maybe on his way to the Olympics with his black pearl GOrilla bike.
Wälde, grand styler and Zurich freestyler on the Zengang bike...He is also the dude putting all the bikes together like swiss watches.
Thomas with his course Canary GOrilla is the living Encyclopedia of Italian bikes history and the business man of the trio.
Here is my boy Dez showing how light are their bikes… 8-9 kg !!!
The Trio behind GOrillia.
GOrillia is looking for a legit fixed gear/ freestyler in New York City to rep the brand. Uncle Gueeze, hook me up!
