The Tour de France always sees a few riders on specially painted custom editions of their regular race bikes, and we went and found our top eight.

Celebrating riders with particular achievements or nicknames, the Tour de France is a great place to show off some damn fine looking custom painted bikes! From André Griepel’s “Gorilla”, to Peter Sagan’s “Hulk” these are very special editions.
There’s also Purito’s #1 Canyon, celebrating his UCI world number one ranking and Jens Voigt’s “Shut up legs!” special edition which memorializes all of his injuries as a pro cyclist. While you’ll see these bikes flashing past in the peloton, it’s the details that really make them incredibly cool.

Fabian Cancellara's Domane should be the Top one
Arashiro's brakes are switched? Mechanic pulls left brake and rear wheel stops spinning. Why?
I think Colnago all the the way the best
Peter Sagan
Cav's bike is totally timeless. Classy not flashy. Treat yourself, don't cheat yourself.
Tarmac SL 4 rocks
Peter sagan's
purito's
cavendish
The orange Tarmac SL4 all the way.
No Spartacus bike?? 🙁
The Colnago and the Canyon by far, plus Cancellara's, which was somehow missed out in this compilation…
Black and green s-works
I like Cavendish's custom S-Works bike. The matte black and neon green look sick.
Not Tour de France related but Cancellara's Spartacus and Spartacus Swiss edition decals are awesome!
