Pressure - RVCA x Cinelli Bike Art Show in SF

RVCA had an art show + party at their VASF shop in San Francisco to celebrate their collaboration with Cinelli. The event was a huge success and the hard work from all the people at RVCA definatley paid off. With over 1,000 people through the doors, a line going up the hill all night long, the world of incredible art and culture jammed packed in the gallery, an amazing performance by Brendan Fowler from Car Clutch, a unique window by MASH, a debut of The Council of Doom film on the store TV screens, and a huge smile on Antonio Colombo's face (ownerof Cinelli) it is sure to be one of RVCA's proudest moments..

RVCA is currently working on a mini movie covering the collaboration - so stay tuned.
