Renato Rancso Joins Primo

ColonyFreestylePrimoRenato RancsoTeamBy Declan Kilpatrick

Big news for one of our own: Renato Rancso is now riding for Primo. Welcome to the fam, Renato!

Renato made it official on 1 November with a simple caption: "Stoked to join the Primo fam! Let the good times roll." If you've been in the shop, you've probably met him. He's on the LUXBMX Freestyle Team, he works with us in store, and he's one of the most technical street riders in Brisbane. Backwards manuals are his thing, and nobody does them quite like him.

His own frame: the Colony Balkan Eagle

The bike is built around Renato's signature frame, the Colony Balkan Eagle, named after his nickname. Colony released it in September 2026, and he's riding the Gloss White version. It comes in Gloss White or ED Black, with 20.7, 21 or 21.2 inch top tubes, and we have every size in stock.
