A decade of alleycats, criteriums, frame designs and border crossings — distilled into a cycling streetwear collection. Shred Life.

Chas Christiansen won his first Cinelli frame at a San Francisco alleycat. He rode it to work the next morning — up and down the hills of the city, paying the bills as a messenger.

That bike became a race bike, then a design project. Red Hook Crit on the world stage. The Parallax. The SSCX. A Hobo MTB across Africa with Lucas Brunelle.

Shred Life is what Chas calls his approach to everything — riding, racing, travelling, existing. Drop 6 is the latest chapter.

The Shred Life collection is part of the Cinelli Art Program — a long-running series of collaborations with artists, riders, and designers that has defined Cinelli's identity since the early 1980s. From Keith Haring to Barry McGee, MASH SF to Yinka Ilori, the program has always worked the same way: find people doing something real, make something together.

Chas Christiansen is one of the few people to have worked with Cinelli both as a rider and as a designer — racing criteriums on Cinelli bikes while also leaving his mark on iconic frames like the Parallax and the SSCX. Drop 6 extends that relationship into cycling lifestyle apparel made for people who don't separate the bike from the rest of their lives.

All pieces are produced in Italy. Limited quantities.
