The paint is a full iridescent House of Kolor Kandy Apple Red custom mixed to provide additional richness and depth. Coupled with the polished stainless Nuovo Richie lugs it makes a striking combination.
Conceived from the beginning as a single-speed this bike has Columbus SFL tubes for the frame while the painted-to-match classically Italian Silca frame pump and NOS Campy metal head compliment the final build.
A traditionally finished bike evoking a slightly British feeling, the frame is completely modern using Slant-6 lugs and the latest Columbus Spirit tubing. Additionally, this single-speed possesses some really curvy, curvy stays that definitely add a contemporary touch.
The multi-color paint job was finished off with a gold pearl top coat ensuring it dazzles in the sun and hand-built wheels, Campagnolo, Phil Wood, and Chris King components ensured that it dazzles the rider.
The customer requested a color based on the 1970s British Leyland color — Blackberry — and we worked with the painter to develop a custom House of Kolor paint scheme.
The polished Henry James lugs offset by custom leather-wrapped bars and saddle to create a truly one-of-a-kind bicycle.
Built with Columbus SFL tubes, the components are all topline featuring hand-built wheels, Campagnolo crankset and brakes along with Phil Wood hubs and bottom bracket.
