The new Linda Indergand's Liv Pique is a piece of art

The new Liv Pique Advanced Pro 29 for Linda Indergand is a true piece of art designed under the philosophy of the Japanese Kintsugi technique, an art that repairs broken ceramics with gold. A truly unique bike to remember the Olympic bronze won by the Swiss rider in Tokyo.

Linda Indergand debuts a new Liv Pique Advanced Pro 29 to commemorate her Olympic bronze medal

Swiss rider Linda Indergand is racing this weekend at the Lenzerheide World Cup in her homeland and surrounded by her home crowd, and her team has given her a very special new Liv Pique Advanced Pro 29, which has been very long awaited.

It is a totally unique bike created by Jo Lai of Giant's design department. The aesthetics are inspired by Japanese artwork with elements of the Lake Lucerne landscape and the Swiss and Altdorf flags. It also has some of the philosophy of the Japanese art of Kintsugi, the process by which broken ceramics are repaired with gold (or in Linda's case, bronze, in honor of her Olympic medal in Tokyo) to make them new and whole again.

Kintsugi also expresses itself as a metaphor that calls us to recognize and accept our flaws and imperfections, using them as catalysts to become stronger and better.
