Summary
The J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R is an ultra-luxury road bike engineered as a "visually boltless" machine, utilising additive manufacturing to eliminate all visible fixings and cables on the frame. Beyond the frame, the bike features a 3D-printed titanium Sphyr stem that integrates internal brake hoses and custom-length crank tips, resulting in a high-performance bicycle that weighs just 7.5kg and mirrors the "Art and Science" philosophy of Aston Martin’s hypercars.
