Sebring – 1970s Racing Spirit
Inspired by the 1970s and Steve McQueen’s legendary racing spirit, the Sebring Sun 124 Black Tortoise combines bold design, technical excellence, and heritage inspiration. Discover a frame that makes a statement.
The Story Behind the Frame
The Sebring frame pays tribute to the 12 Hours of Sebring in Florida, where Steve McQueen finished second alongside Peter Revson in the Solar Productions Porsche 908. Remarkably, he stepped onto the podium with his foot in a cast after a motorcycle accident days earlier. This frame embodies McQueen’s fearless spirit and passion for speed.
Design & Inspiration
The shape of the Sebring is inspired by the Ford Mustang featured in Bullitt, while the titanium end tips echo the lines of Triumph motorcycle fuel tanks. A bold, vintage look with subtle nods to McQueen’s life and automotive passions.
