Commissioned by Specialized, Ron Jones custom painted this S-Works Tarmac for Julian Alaphilippe to celebrate Alaphilippe and his French nationality. Alaphilippe is a French professional road cyclist, former cyclo-cross racer and 2x reigning UCI World Road Champion. The distressed flag in the design is inspired by a shoe Alaphilippe was using to race. The design was adjusted to fit the shape of the frame. The base color is a red to blue shifter flake which changes based on the viewing angle. The whole concept is a "Red, White and Blue" theme to celebrate his French Pride.
