Taking inspiration from Mr. Warhol and putting it onto a bike.

Is anyone interested in a vintage Colnago!? My bike is just too small for me so I have to let it go to a new home, it is a neo-retro build, original Master Light frame from the 90´s and 11 Campy from a few years back.

Make me an offer! The bike is a 57cm but measured from bb to top rather than center to center so is actually more like a 55cm.

Bike is currently semi-retired in the Costa Durada, Spain.

We love seeing such great bike shows as Bespoked getting much-deserved media attention. Maybe we are old-fashioned around here but we still love the thought of being able to meet the people behind the bike brands and for us that often includes
the people behind the torch. At Svelte, we're all about celebrating the art of craftsmanship. Every paint job we create is a testament to our dedication to quality and uniqueness. Join us this week as we dive deep into the world of artisan bike brands and the value of true craftsmanship. 🎨🚲

🔸 When we first start a #𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 we always have a moment of 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 🤯🙀 that coincides with looking at a blank piece of paper or Illustrator document! 🗒🖊⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
🔹It is that moment when we think 🤔💭 ⁣
👉🏻 what is this going to be ✍🏻⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
👉🏻 what is this going to look like 👁⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
👉🏻 what story will this #𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 tell 🗣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
🔸 We then enjoy a well-done espresso ☕️ and get to work; 👩🏻‍💻⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

✔️ more exploring 🔎🔎⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

✔️ until something starts to take shape! 💡🥳⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
🔹 We then work that #𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 until it all fits together just right! 🕑 ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
🔸 When the 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 clicks 🧩, the 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 goes on just right 🎨 and the 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 is built with care 🚲 it usually ends up looking something like this🔝⁣❤️
