Reece Wallace’s de Havilland DHC-5 “Search and Rescue Reign” is incredible
Extremely Canadian custom build for Giant pays homage to iconic Buffalo planes

Some custom bike builds stand out more than others. Reece Wallace’s Giant Reign inspired by the de Havilland DHC-5 Buffalo is next-level.
The B.C. freerider’s Reign 29 is painted to match the aircraft used by the Royal Canadian Air Force for search and rescue missions. Wallace, himself a pilot, picked the theme after his favorite aircraft. The design was executed to perfection by the U.K.’s Image Design Custom design house.

Wallace is a pilot himself and is clearly stoked on how his Reign 29 turned out. With details like custom Industry Nine wheels and a painted DVO fork, though, who wouldn’t be?

Giant riders are on a bit of an aviation kick lately. Wallaces Search and Rescue Reign follows just months after Michael van den Ham’s incredible Avro Arrow national champs TCX cyclocross bike.
