Musicians understand the relevance of Miles Davis and his effect on today’s rock scene. What few people realize is how much his second wife, Betty, influenced him and shaped his career. The former model was friends with Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone, both of whom she introduced to Miles. Their relationship is credited with ushering in the jazz fusion era. Though their marriage lasted only a year and some change, her fingerprints are all over his later albums. Far from a blushing wallflower, Betty recorded three albums in the 70’s and released a new one in 2009. The Betty Davis bike -- a pink frame with one black and one white tire -- is an homage to her musical legacy and her effect on modern rock. Retrospec was founded in 2009 in downtown Los Angeles to fulfill the need for a fixed-gear urban bicycle with transportation and style in mind. All of our frames are tig-welded and are available in many colors to fit your own unique style.
