Five years ago, German company TYRELL created a frame with a life of its own, and it will officially announce its entry into the Chinese market at the 2012 Asia Bike Expo.
Beyond its captivating appearance, the most important thing is that it is alive—it can grow old with you. It’s like a beautiful, graceful young lady, but she will tell you that she, too, will age, gradually develop wrinkles, and eventually be covered in them over the years—but she can grow old with you.
Yes, she is indeed different from other frames because she has a life. Just like a tree, she is alive. As the years pass and the rings increase, one year, ten years, thirty years, fifty years—her rust will grow like strands of hair, spreading all over her body. That is her unique trait. Handcrafted from Italian COLUMBUS steel, she is naturally beautiful, but even the most stunning appearance cannot escape aging, because that is the law of life. In contrast, frames without a life are just pieces of steel, rusting and decaying in bland, patternless patches.
Since each living frame develops rust patterns uniquely, just as no two women age the same way, if you love her, she will belong only to you—she will be your one and only. Once you’ve chosen her, she will be your lifelong partner, never leaving your side. When you take a photo together ten years after marrying her, twenty years, thirty, fifty—while witnessing your own aging, you’ll also see hers. What a meaningful life that is!
When you grow old, your hair turns white, and you lie frail on your bed, you’ll realize that she is the only one who has silently and tirelessly stayed by your side, never leaving. Remember how she accompanied you across mountains and rivers, wandered the ends of the earth, and stayed with you until the very end of your life—that is love for a lifetime.
Hold her hand, grow old with her. Love is the only reliance, and she is the only one. Steel frames are forever classic—one frame, a lifetime companion.
