PYRMON comes from the PYRenees and MONtseny: the mountains where we learned to ride and the place where the workshop stands. When it came to naming the bikes, the decision made itself: every model would carry the name of a mountain of this country. But with one condition we imposed on ourselves: the name could not be decorative. The mountain had to rule the bike.
Canigó: the flame
The Canigó is the symbol mountain: every year its flame comes down from the summit to light the Sant Joan bonfires across the country. Our first bike had to be a gravel bike that connected worlds and unmade borders, like the flame. It carries a golden flame engraved on the frame, and we presented it on Sant Joan night. There was no other possible date.
Cadí: the wall
The Cadí ridge is the most serious wall of the pre-Pyrenees: kilometres of rock cutting the sky. The climber of the house had to carry its name, and under the name it carries the exact silhouette of the ridge. An 830-gram frame to face the wall it is named after.
Carlit: the lakes and the wind
The Carlit is the roof of Northern Catalonia, tramuntana country: there, the wind is the landscape. The bike carrying its name had to be the aero. And under the name there are twelve golden dots: the twelve lakes of the circuit around the Bulloses lakes at the foot of the peak. The mountain does not just give the name: it draws it too.
The ones to come
The next names are already on the list, and they are mountains too: the Pica and the Estats await their turn in the mountain bike range. When they arrive, you know what to look for on the frame: the mountain always leaves its mark.
If you want to see the three engravings up close, come to the workshop. Mountains are better explained with the bike in front of you.
