Meister Monkey Nº01/10
Pack Lead
Story of the bike:
“What pulled me into this project isn’t just the bike.
Most things today are mass-produced and forgettable. This is the opposite. Real craftsmanship, local guys, real hands. That’s what I care about.
Antoine played a big part. I know how he works… detail-obsessed, no shortcuts.
What hit me most was being close to the team. Not just the final bike, but the people behind every part of it. When you see that, you understand two things: the level of skill… and how much coordination it actually takes to bring it all together. It’s far more complex than it looks.
The group also matters. Small circle, different styles, but connected and all chasing the same level of perfection. It makes the whole thing more real, more personal… just better.
For my bike, I stayed true to my usual “SchwartzOlive” base, but pushed it a bit further. I added flakes to bring some fun and a subtle retro vibe. Still clean, still minimal, but with just enough attitude when the light hits the asphalt.
I also leaned into Japanese parts, including a Yoshimura piece, as a nod to where the bike comes from. It felt right to keep that connection to Honda’s roots.
And Yen adds that extra layer: subtle accessories that make the bike truly unique and collectible.
In the end, it’s simple: something rare, done right, that won’t be repeated, in an atmosphere of passion, friendship… and exhausts.” E.A.R
