PVD TIE Advanced X1
From Pvdwiki
The PVD TIE Advanced X1
An urban road bike w/4 inch disc rotors and a choice of fender clearance or 35c off road tires. Fresh looks and great style. This bike is supposed to be incredible in terms of design and execution but still blend into the backround in an effort to foil theves. While it is a pure flat bar road bike, it has the capacity to mount dirt tires and poke down trails.
