Martyn Ashton was capable of accomplishing some pretty crazy things on a road bike. I say “was” because during the making of the video below he managed to break his back and is now paralyzed. He did have some help from friends completing the film though, so we can all marvel at the stunts he was once capable of. And for those like me who like to lust after expensive bikes, Martyn is riding a Colnago C59 Italia. Price tag? A cool $24,500.

Watched it with my mouth hanging open in amazement. Terrible about his injury though.
