A lil'history on this killer:

Affinity Cycles, one of the most respected independent bicycle brands in the world, is not only seen raced in velodromes by professional cyclists, but also ridden on the city streets by fashionable commuters, elite bike messengers, and passionate cyclists. The signature Affinity “Kissena“ track frame is the key component of the “Digitizer” project and represents the pinnacle of bicycle frame technology.



Kenzo Minami is an artist and designer who grew up in Japan in the 80’s. During this time, Japan experienced a huge economic boom fueled by the country’s technological supremacy. The graphic design that dominated this era was one that underscored the “more is more” attitude. Japanese design embraced a euphoric idealism of the new digital frontier where design became a fantastic reflection of all technology could be. Kenzo’s inspiration for “Digitizer” came from this nostalgia of his childhood. However, this inspiration is tempered with a practical purpose. “Within the chaos of visual information found on city streets it is important that the design allows the bicycle to stand out and be recognized by both pedestrians and cars alike,” reflects artist Kenzo Minami. “The colors and patterns on the bicycle were carefully conceived and laid out with the understanding that they will not only be seen when the frame and wheels are static but more importantly how they will be transformed when the bicycle is in motion."
