We paint plenty of bikes made on framebuilding courses and here’s another.

Paying tribute to classic framebuilders who inspired them, this scheme follows a traditional approach of using a main colour with accent panels, in this case a House of Kolor blue, split diagonally by a flash of Wildtrack Orange, perhaps giving a little nod to the Holdsworth liveries of old.

The graphics and branding are hosted in a clean cremweiss and then the whole thing has that gloss flowcoat and polish that we love to do.

The personal touches are in the seat tube logo totem which has a stylised glitter ball in reference to a song which reminds the builder of their children. Then there’s that signature on the top tube where you’d expect to see it on a classic Italian Pinarello or a Chesini and the like… only this one isn’t a signature but rather it’s a line drawing in the shape of a copse the builder sees regularly on their rides.

It’s rare that we can give a customer everything they want and still be able to call it subtle but in this case, I think we pulled it off.
