Design

Illustrations – here turned into a true work of art! All thanks to Wroclaw artist Pfishova.

Execution

After applying the white base coat, Pfishova began the painstaking work – every drawing on the frame was applied by hand! Once completed, the entire piece was covered with a layer of matte clear coat to ensure durability for years to come. Our client also opted for a unique configuration – the wireless SRAM AXS drivetrain works flawlessly and allows for even more minimalism, and the wheels are the excellent Dandy Horse ARV – a model with ultra-light rims and laser-engraved logo. It's a sight to behold!

The 90s in full swing – we love this era and it clearly shows in the paintwork! This unique project was created by our favourite paint shop – Dreamworkers. The bold colours are reminiscent of candy stores and childhood amusement parks.

Execution

This was quite a challenge! The number of colours and geometric patterns made Chromatic Blitz a very labour-intensive project that required flawless precision and a lot of patience from the painter. But it was worth it – the effect is breathtaking!

Campa and pure design for our client working in architecture, who himself had a big part in the paintwork design. You can tell he knows his stuff, because the final effect is amazing!

Execution

Paintwork with a characteristic gradient reminiscent of the iconic UCI flag finished in full gloss – classic. The whole design goes perfectly with the unique configuration – the exotic Ekar 1x13 group was the first gravel group with as many as 13 (!) gears on the market. Add to that an integrated carbon cockpit – also painted by us – glossy carbon wheels, and the result is a perfect bike.

This is the kind of paintwork you don't forget! Inspired by technical military camouflage, the design looks ordinary from a distance, but when you look at up close you'll see a crazy amount of details. We didn't even want to ask the guys at the paint shop how much work went into it ;)

Execution

The paintwork required the application many layers of paint – under the dense mesh pattern are blotches characteristic of typical camouflage. Executing this pattern precisely was a real challenge. This build was one of the lightest aluminium gravels in our portfolio. With the combination of SRAM RED + XX1 + ENVE + DT Swiss, it couldn't be otherwise!

The paintwork of this bike is a unique combination of literary imagination and the mystery of galaxies. Inspired by Lewis Carroll's poem Jabberwocky and space – the passion and work of the bike's owner, who is a scientist.

Execution

An incredible project hand-drawn directly onto the frame by Wroclaw-based tattoo artist – Paskud Tattoo. After applying the first layers of paint, the creature design on the front of the bike was hand-painted by Monika, then sealed with a clear coat to ensure proper durability. The configuration features the classic and reliable GRX 1x11, interestingly paired with a modified derailleur cage from Garbaruk, which allowed us to run a massive 10–50t cassette that was not standardly possible with that version of Shimano's drivetrain.

Design

A bold project referencing the colourful '90s. Tadek created this design for us many years ago, yet today it still remains one of our favourites. Because of the characteristic yellow-blue main colours, in the company it was nicknamed after a certain Swedish furniture store where you can eat iconic meatballs :)

Execution

Paintworks with many colours and geometric patterns are always the most labour-intensive – every transition has to be done perfectly. The entire piece was finished with a full-gloss clear coat. The wild design contrasts with a minimalist configuration – this machine is nothing other than a fixie, a bike with only one gear!

Design

Another return to the '90s! It's easy to see we're big fans of this era ;) This is one of the first projects we did for our carbon gravels. The entire design was created by Tadek Ciechanowski – a Wroclaw graphic designer and photographer we've worked with for many years.

Execution

The project was finished in satin – the characteristic final layer comes from as a clear coat, which thanks to its different composition, diffuses light in a specific way, creating this elegant semi-matte effect.

Hand-drawn, striking design by Wroclaw-based artist Pfishova. The hand-drawn illustrations inspired by racing, finish flags, and speed, perfectly capture the spirit of this fast road bike!

Execution

Like every hand-drawn design, after applying the first layers of paint (this time with an interesting gradient), the drawings were applied by the artist, and then the entire piece was covered with glossy clear coat, which perfectly highlights the graphics on the frame and provides proper durability. Dandy Horse carbon wheels, cables hidden in the stem and classic Gravelking tyres with brown sidewalls perfectly complete the look.
